AUDIO/VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Speaker: Last Spring, I was lucky enough to have a long weekend and I decided that I would use that chance to try and get away to somewhere new. As a huge lover of both pizza and pasta, I felt that Rome would be the perfect destination for me, so I got myself a budget flight ticket and within a day I was touching down in the "Eternal City".
I only had three days in the capital so I made it my goal to have as much fun as I possibly could. I felt the best way to start my trip was with a shot of dark, delicious espresso at one of the cute cafes you can find in Centro Storico, the historic center of Rome. With that little bit of extra caffeine inside me I took a speedy walk along the beautiful Tiber River but quickly paused when I came across the outstanding Castel Sant’Angelo. This historic castle was converted into a fortress for the Pope in the 6th century and now serves as a fascinating museum.
Speaking of the Pope, I was desperate to visit the Vatican City while I was in Rome, and I was not disappointed with what I saw. My dream from when I was a little kid was to see St. Peter’s Basilica and when I first set my eyes on this beauty, I was so excited. It took over a century to construct the basilica and its interior is just as impressive as its exterior. When I walked inside, I stood and stared at Michelangelo’s stunning sculpture, La Pietá which was a wonderful treat to end a wonderful weekend.

AUDIO/VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Narrator: Since I was a kid, the one thing I have loved most in life is the beach, and a trip to the home of the Copacabana to sip lovingly on a caipirinha has been on my bucket list for a long time. Luckily, I got the chance to visit Brazil last summer and it was a vacation that fulfilled all my expectations.
The first beach I decided to check out was on the beautiful island of Ilha Grande, an island which was left untouched and uninhabited for decades. The headline attraction is Lopes Mendes, a stunning white beach which can only be accessed by boat and a 20-minute forest hike.
My next stop was the beach located in the fashionable neighborhood of Ipanema. The beach is the main attraction of the area, stretches for more than two miles and is lined with trendy bars and restaurants. I also took a little educational detour while I was there to the Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow), the unusual looking building houses exhibitions which show the ways in which humans have damaged the planet.
My final stop was the world-famous Copacabana beach, home to golden sands and gentle waves, millions of tourists are drawn here each year to have the time of their life. Beach volleyball, banana boats and Brazilian barbecue, I tried them all, and they were all amazing.
