Snow back home in Munich! Why bother? I’m about to enjoy a caipirinha at one of the most famous beaches on the planet: Praia de Copacabana 🇧🇷

So whether you want to soak in the sun, go for a swim, grab a caipirinha or just watch beautiful girls in tiny bikinis 😉, Copacabana beach is a must-see while in Rio!
