Thank you for putting me at ease as I just booked a trip to Rio and was considering to cancel after reading about how dangers on the internet. One question though, u seem to have shot with expensive gear. So, is it really okay to take pictures on your iphone and be safe?? I was wondering if I have to invest in a cheap point and shoot camera??

yeah I mean most of everything you saw here was shot on my Canon R5, Mavic Air 2s, and DJI Action Camera haha. I just used kinda like common sense and vibes of when and where not to take it out. I would usually just strap it to my bag on my attachment but here I just got whatever shot it was that I needed, and then put it back in the bag after. I only flew my drone in places without a crowd, besides in Buzios, it is very safe there so I had my camera out and about no problem. I also was veeeeery hesitant about bringing it after some google searches. Thankfully I did because I got some wonderful photos and videos and honestly never felt unsafe. Just don't have the camera and phones out near major tourist traps like Copacabana beach, there are kids there who try and steal your things from your hands and then run

@catandmarcos Ай бұрын
Dji mavic Air 2s! Honestly not sure of the regulated official laws. They really don't care haha I usually go with more of seek forgiveness rather than ask permission. Just use common sense when flying always please! No direct flyovers of stadiums, government buildings, very populated places, and sacred locations.

My own colleagues (Brazilians) mentioned to me that it is not safe to travel to Rio alone as a foreigner. Now I am quite confused whether I should visit Rio or not? Can someone please guide me regarding their recent experiences?
@catandmarcos
@catandmarcos Ай бұрын
I felt the same way lol, my own friend in Brazil told me to bring a helmet to Rio because it is so dangerous. These are usually the people who see all the negatives in certain places. I can walk down the wrong ally in Miami and be in danger. Please don't be scared, as long as you use common sense and not stick out like a sore thumb, you will be okay and love it!

You are correct, it used to be very unsafe but the crime and gang violence has gone down significantly due to the new president. It is a completely new place and filled with beauty!

I do have a question though, Marcos poncho is probably the best I’ve seen from vlogs and I would like to have the same. Do you remember how much you paid for it and what market you got it from? Thank you! You rocked it so well wearing it.

Really struggled with your pronunciations, it was Turunç you stopped at on the boat trip... I also struggled with how you hold your cutlery when eating.. Is thus really how you was taught? Ps you don't haggle for food and drinks, and it's better to pay in local currency or you pay over the odds for everything.
@catandmarcos
@catandmarcos 3 ай бұрын
you're going to judge how someone cuts something based off of a two second video clip? We were given a butter knife, so it made it difficult. Also with pronunciation, it is very different to speak in the native tongue when you are not from there. Kind of like how you are speaking in English now, we appreciate you responding, but with the way you put your sentences together, I can judge you based on that. But, we choose not to, because it would not be worthwhile. We do haggle for food and drinks when the person is overcharging us and we know they are. We have experienced this in every country we have traveled to, and it was the same in Istanbul if you watched that video. We did not always have local currency and the charge rate of exchanging in an ATM would have been a higher fee than if we just used whatever currency we had. This is what I meant by context, you did not have any and you made many assumptions and judged us for it. We appreciate you watching our video and I hope you can enjoy the next ones without much judgement :)

it just depends honestly. Anywhere can be dangerous. Just don't have your phones our taking selfies everywhere you go and you will be fine. Be cautious, know your surroundings, and use common sense. If you do that, I really don't think you have anything to be worried about :) also don't stick out like a sore thumb. I've seen people wearing luxury brand designs, rolex, and nice shoes. Just don't do that unless you are going out to dinner

If we compare Brazil with Europe, of course, Brazil will be considered very unsafe. But if we compare real Brazil with what the media said about Brazil, we will consider real Brazil safe. Take your precautions when you stay in Brazil and relax. On the other hand, there are cities safer than Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. I don't recommend avoiding these states. I'm not from these states. Welcome to Brazil!
