I haven’t made any posts on this site for a while. I’ve been pretty busy lately, traveling and
living offline. I needed to write this
post though as I receive a ton of mail from different people asking a lot of
similar questions.
(if you want to hear this from a female's perspective check out my wife's post on her blog here)
First off, I just want to thank all the people who follow
this blog as well as the new readers and even the folks who just found this
site while looking for pictures of Brazilian women or some other Brazil-related
topic.
Now that I have gotten that out of the way, the reason I wrote
this post is to answer questions for anyone looking to move to Brazil (or any
other 3rd world country overseas).
Every week I receive emails from people who are intrigued by
the possibility of living overseas, in particular in Brazil. I’m cool with that as I can relate and
understand where everyone is coming from.
To be honest after so many years of receiving these types of
emails I am no longer motivated to answer this type of question over and over
again so I am writing this post. From
now on I can refer people who are asking about moving to Brazil here and also
to help people looking up this type of info online.
Interested in Living Abroad in Brazil?
One of the MAJOR traits shared by 90% of the people who
contact me about moving to Brazil is that the person has NEVER visited the
country before. Some of the people have
traveled outside of their country of birth but many have not done so before.
Here’s my advice.
If you are considering moving to a country such as Brazil
you need to do a couple of things if you are serious. You absolutely need to physically visit the
country. I cannot tell you if you will
like living here and neither can anyone else.
Brazil is very different from countries like the USA in multiple
different aspects.
