Tuesday the 26th of December 2023: “A Walk-Through Memories and Change”!!!

9 de June, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, but a beautiful day. Today turned out to be a challenging walk.

Unfortunately, I missed my usual wake-up time, which is, at the latest, 6:00 a.m. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference or simply the accumulated tiredness from […]

2 de February, 2024 No Comments

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. The first day of the week is a simple morning workout as I have an early class. When you have a good weekend, the week begins well. There is no remorse at the beginning of the week; let it come. The good vibes from the last weekend overflow into the […]

ABOUT ME

Welcome to my blog, The Long Gringo!

I am Richard George James Jackson, a British expatriate who has made Brazil his home for over 30 years.
My experiences have taught me about resilience, transformation, and Brazil's enduring spirit.
I have ventured into various business endeavours, from founding a consultancy in the boat and yacht industry to establishing an English language school.
Along the way, I've discovered the vital importance of resilience and the profound impact of transformation.
I'm eager to share my stories and insights on this blog, hoping to inspire and support others on their own journeys.
