Ian Somerhalder Brazil Pictures

Ian Somerhalder popped up in Brazil with friends yesterday. He checked out the view from his hotel in Rio de Janeiro before taking a helicopter ride to São Paolo, where he met up with pals at a local boutique. Ian wrapped up the day's adventures with a tweet to his fans, writing, "Good night São Paulo. Fun time with you, my papa, Jessica Ramsey and my friends at JohnJohn. You're beautiful, crazy, and, amazing — please never change."

Ian's been on the go for the last week, having also stopped in France with girlfriend Nina Dobrev. Ian and Nina showed PDA in Paris when they weren't hanging out with their The Vampire Diaries costar Paul Wesley and executive producer Julie Plec. The crew recently wrapped up the third season of their series, and they have the Summer off from filming to enjoy a little downtime.
