Walking Through My Childhood Streets – A Winter Morning in Ponta Grossa, Brazil

There are places that stay with us — not because of grand landmarks or famous sights, but because they hold our earliest memories. This peaceful morning walk takes you through exactly that kind of place: the quiet neighborhood in Ponta Grossa, Paraná, where I grew up.

A Personal Journey

This is more than just another walking tour. It’s a return to my roots.

After years away, I came back to visit family during Brazil’s winter — and on a crisp, sunny morning, I took my camera and went for a walk through the same streets I used to explore as a kid. The sounds, the smells, the way the light hits the cobbled road — it’s all deeply familiar.

What You’ll See

• Quiet residential streets lined with cozy homes and small gardens
• A neighborhood school and covered sports court — once a childhood landmark
• The soft winter light filtering through the trees and morning clouds
• Authentic ambient sound — no narration or music, just the real feeling of being there

Why It Matters

Ponta Grossa might not be on most people’s travel list, but for me, it’s a place full of meaning. This walk isn’t just about what’s visible — it’s about a connection to the past, to family, and to a place that shaped who I am.
