  I remember my last big trip to Brazil as being full of Afro-Brazilian culture - especially in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador - and so I was interested to recently come across this U.S. immigrant to that country's description of that culture and what it's like to live as a foreigner in Rio: https://news.yahoo.com/black-expat-why-black-expats-153000883.html

  When it comes to Ecuador, most of visitors' intentions tend to end up focused around Quito, the Galápagos, colonial Cuenca, and maybe adventure hub Tena. But there's a Pacific coast down here, too, and one of the cool things about it - besides great beaches - is that it's home to more than a million afro-Ecuadorians, descendants of slaves brought here from Africa in the 16th century. They're especially common in the country's largest city, Guayaquil, and in Esmeraldas province, and this video by a black U.S. travel vlogger (his channel is Ace Live) is about his visit to Esmeraldas city (pop. 162,000) - pretty cool! https://youtu.be/HFD6yBC-7IM
