Not very relevant.

I found the stories quite odd. If you're a brit going to Portugal then it may be your "cup of tea". If you're an American with wanderlust who wants to travel through Brazil with your hot Brasilera wife it's probably not sure for you. I wanted relevant conversations. For instance a story about going to a churrasqueira would be nice. Instead you hear about making scones and going to Disneyland Paris. The Portuguese is good, but the English speaker has a certain way of speaking...it got on my nerves. It's not awful, but isn't worth a credit. Just one man's opinion.
