In STRAIGHT TRIPPIN', OC friends and family share tidbits from their travels to far-off places, from Iceland to Barcelona. This time around, Hong Thaimee––former model and current star chef––shares photos from her recent trip to Brazil during World Cup craziness.

Name: Hong Thaimee
Occupation: Chef at Ngam
Travel destination: São Paulo, Brazil
Carry-on necessities: My NARS Larger Than Life eyeliner in black and Burt's Bee lip balm
Reading materials: The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? by Rick Warren. I found this book at the Dubai airport on my last trip to Thailand and just got a chance to read it now.
Most over-played tracks on your iPhone this trip: "The Girl From Ipanema" by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Favorite outfit to travel in: Some sturdy booties 
Highlight of your trip: Seeing the semi-final game at the World Cup between Argentina and Holland in the pouring rain with my beautiful Brazilian host family, truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Also finding out that there are lots of similar fruits and vegetables in Thai and Brazilian street markets. I feel right at home in Brazil, thanks to the local Brazilian chefs.
Souvenirs you brought back: Malagueta and Cumbari chillies and a "Coador de pano" Brazilian single-serve drip coffeemaker
