Brazil – Porto Alegre
My first business trip to the southern hemisphere took me to Porto Alegre, in the very south of Brazil during June (=winter) 2018. Not necessarily the most beautiful place to visit in Brazil (and not necessarily the best time of year), but still I had a great time – especially due to my colleagues, who welcomed me during my stay at SAP Labs Sao Leopoldo.

Only in Brazil...
