My wife and I are Brazilians and have lived in Florida for 35 years. I bought a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. 4 minutes walk to the beach. It has a swimming pool and complete leisure area. a beautiful view of the sea. I bought it for 80 thousand dollars last year, on Praia do Morro in Guarapari. we will stop working in 4 years and live there like kings.

Guys I am a European living in Northeast Brasil and I think it’s much better but living outside example Fortaleza ( lovely mountains to live are Tiangua and Guaramiranga), the temperature is tropical but also fresh morning and night ( through the day it’s 26-30 year around ). Anywhere outside the big cities it’s very safe. Big benefit is it’s cheap…South Brasil is very expensive and the climate is not good ( very unstable and pretty cold ). I recommend people to live in the countryside of Brasil and just visit 1 time a month the beach as it gets boring and usually not that safe. South Brasil in general it’s pretty safe but they have big issues also with the floods taking an example of what happened there. Floripa sure it’s a pleasant place but I am more for year around weather so Northeast works for my family 😀 Just giving some of you guys ideas outside of this main video advice👍🏼

[@helciocampos]

@AdorableUrban I agree with you. Guarapari, Espírito Santo is pretty safe and cheap. My apt is 4 minutes walking from the praia do morro. Cost me 80k (dollars), and I am paying 600 reais monthly maintenance. Guarapari has 50 beaches and mountains. So beautiful.

[@robremote]

Fortaleza is where I live right now. In my opinion it is the hands down best place in Brazil for expats who love sunny weather and a cheap cost of living. Oh yeah, the people are nicer than in the south as well.

Brazil is so big that if you travel through several regions that are far from each other, you may have the feeling that you have traveled to another country. The northern and west of the country has more influence from indigenous peoples, in the northeast region there is more influence from African descendants and in the states of the southern region (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) it has more influence from European descendants, in addition, the northern half is less developed and all this reflects in the behavior of Brazilians in each region. There is a lot of cultural difference between the regions of Brazil due to many different peoples and cultures interacting and influencing each other. In the north and northeast of Brazil there is practically no winter, it's hot all year round (at the height of summer it's VERY hot). There are not 4 seasons, but rather 2 seasons: one with a lot of rain and one with little rain. In the southern half of Brazil there are 4 seasons, and in the extreme south it can be VERY cold in winter (some regions high up in the mountains can even snow a little). In the states of the southern region (Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná), extratropical cyclones occasionally occur on the coast and tornadoes in the extreme west. At the moment the safest state in Brazil is São Paulo, followed by Santa Catarina and Minas Gerais.

I'm Brazilian and if you think that living in Florianopolis is cheap, oh boy, you need to know about João Pessoa in the State of Paraíba in the Northeast region. Here you have everything Floripa has, except for the mountains, but the city is known for being the best state of Brazil to retire, also the beaches are very good and the water is warmer, with natural pools in the middle of the ocean. Also, the state of Paraíba is getting a lot of investiments and getting a economic boom, so now is the time to invest here. Hope i could help with theses informations.

[@2freakout]

@@luanbrites I was with 3 other friends. We crossed the river from Lethem over to Brazil. Emptiness no life there but red sand flying with the wind. A van got stranded, and we helped the driver by giving him a push start, and it started. Communication was 0 as we spoke English and knew no Portuguese. Somehow we understood each other, and he gave us a hike to Boa Vista. Upon our arrival in BV, we understood we had to pay him for the hike. We paid him and booked a sleeping room. The next morning we were raided by the immigration cops. We were clean. They gave us directions to check in Brasil immigration. We did, and we got a 3-month visa. We took a bus the same day to Caracarai. When we got there, it was almost dark, and we were trying to see if we could get a boat to take us to Manaus. We did but hadn't enough money to pay the captain. We gave the little cash we had and some personal valuables, upon which he agreed. We didn't have much contact with other Brazilians yet. The captain gave us food during the boat ride. Communication was still 0. We arrived at around 20:00 hrs in Manaus. We walked around the night searching for a place to sleep but found nothing-we were broke. All funds and valuables were already used up for the boat hike from Caracarai. It was Friday. A lot of partying there, in Manaus, folks drinking in open-air bars. A few police officers patrolling the area on foot approached us around 03:00 hrs and said, "Documentos." Looks like I am writing a book hahahahaha. To be cont'd

[@2freakout]

@@luanbrites Traveling broke is tough anywhere in the world. The locals in any country are the ones who would make your travels a little more comfortable. Brazilians helped me enormously to survive. I know absolutely nothing about tourism life in Brazil. I was living with the common and poor folks with warmth and a huge heart.

Florianópolis its not a cheap city at least for us Brazilians, but the public health system in the south its better than rest of country, for you guys that have dollars could be a cheap option but its not the best option in my point of view. But Santa Catarina for sure have best cities to live.

[@adventurefreaksss]

@@Nutritipsdacarol thank you for this information!

[@adventurefreaksss]

In your opinion, what is the best city to live in in Santa Catarina?

[@Nathavolt]

@@adventurefreaksss I'am Brazilian. It depends on whether the person is looking for a city to work or to retire, whether they prefer a big city with a lively nightlife or a smaller, quieter city, whether they prefer a beach or mountain city, whether they prefer a warmer or colder place, whether they prioritize more security than the rest or not. For each situation, the city indication changes. Joinville is the largest city (604 thousand inhabitants) in the state of Santa Catarina and is industrialized, but it's very hot in the summer. Florianópolis (capital - 516 thousand inhabitants) can become hell in the high summer season, as it's crowded with tourists and with complicated traffic, making it more difficult to enter and leave the island. Blumenau is the third largest city in the state (366 thousand inhabitants) and is influenced by German descendants. It's 55 km from the coast, at an altitude of just 21 m and is also a good city. At certain times of the year, extratropical cyclones can occur that harm coastal cities.

[@vinicius.maciel]

@@adventurefreaksss Hi, I do live in the state of Santa Catarina, and there are good options on the coast: Florianopolis, Balneario Camboriu, Itapema, Garopaba (all of them with distinct characteristics) And a little far (until 1 one-hour drive from the coast, I would say) from the coast, you can find nice and super-developed cities like Joinville, Blumenau, Pomerode, and Criciuma. There are still some other good options in the countryside and highlands that are very charming and even cheaper

Floripa is expensive for Brazilian standards. People that want to live well work hard. Traffic is awful. And it rains a lot. Culture is not the best. We need to travel to São Paulo and Rio to get some. Nevertheless, it’s one the best places to live that I have been. Unfortunately, it has been filled with people looking for a dream, and finding a nightmare. Salaries are low. Opening a business? Competition is fierce. We only have one month for making money with summer rental: January. All the prices he gave are right. Except for the meals. Unless if you go to really cheapo restaurants. I spend at least US$10,00 in a nice per kilo. Coffee? 2 dollars. Hospitals are not that great. If you don’t have private health insurance you are not getting the exams fast you need unless you are dying. Public health is complicated. But is great. The best doctors work on the public system. And the best dentists. However, the materials they use, and the waiting list… you need health insurance. I love Floripa. My family is from here, and I live well. But as a city, there are better places in the state, and in the country: Blumenau and João Pessoa are my favorites. But if you want live well here, you need in reais, our money: 3500 for rent and condo fees, 2000 reais for groceries. That’s a 1000 US dollars. Everything else you need in life is after that. So you need at least 2000 for a decent middle class life. You can live for less? Of course. But 900 dollars is tough. Don’t bother.

it's interesting to learn about the cost of living around the world and especially as from residents rather than those of a tourist when we visit don't know anywhere that has "stayed the same" since 2020 would still prefer to live off the land, going back to basics and near a coast experiencing the flora and fauna and being at one with nature any day rather than caught up in commercially bought and sold concrete jungles with plastic people trying to out do eachother with the newest form of what's on the market we are aware it's consumerism accompanied by manufacture that has ruined our world not the climate let's hope for a better future 🙏 good luck all may you be happy in life 🌻

I LIVE in Florianopolis now (Ingleses) but have lived in the north too ; RECIFE and JOAO PESSOA I too am from Florida - Clearwater Where are living here ? Like both places for different reasons Florianopolis is the most like the USA, lot of people speak english, are friendly but a little rascist in the interior of the state. Flp has COLD BEACHES year around IF YOU live like a Brasilian you can buy a 2br condo for $25,000 usd on the island YOU are WAY OFF on the prices of real estate OFF season (April-Dec) you can rent a 1br apto furnished near the beach Canasvieiras or Ingleses for $300 usd Lived in Joao Pessoa back in 2006 but have been back there in 2022 to look for another place to buy Very limited english but the people are nice, lot more poor people. Warm beaches

Pretty but not usable Do you know both areas ? Have come to think keeping our apto in Floripa and flying to JP for the winter and renting till I find something perfect for us WHICH ONE do you think you'd like BETTER ?

​@@defining.vitality I wrote a long reply but it disappeared ? Short version ; BOTH Floripa - normally r$150,000 and up JP - easy to buy something for r$110,000 up If you want warm weather all year and hate the cold like I do, go JP Both has plusses and minusses, are opposites in many ways South - more educated, Europeans, lots of jobs, long daylight, sunset 8:00 pm Expensive restaurants, low quality and limited variety- they love rodizio de pizza here North - less literate less educated, mostly brown people but mixed, nice and friendly tho, amazing beaches you can actually use all year round. Shorter daylight sunset 5:00 pm. Really cheap and good restaurants from churrasco r$20-40 lunch to Chinese r$18 If you're a boater, like to go swimming, love nice beaches ! I may end up short term flying to JP for the winter and renting for 6 months till I find the right apto or house to buy GO TO OLX.com.br , you can search for real estate there by state or city, need to know some PT

@@InMyBrz awesome. Im heading to Brasil next month. I also heard that Praia do Rosa is worth taking a look at. Have you been there or heard anything on it?

[@InMyBrz]

@@defining.vitality Don't know it but see it's on the coast about an hour south of Florianopolis, looks isolated Think is a waste of time since Floripa has 43 beaches all around the island ! You might like Praia Tambaba near JP too, it's a nude beach ! Only one I know of in the north ! You flying from ? And into where ? Good fights out of Ft Lauderdale on AZUL airlines to Recife, Sao Paulo- non stop GOL is good too, stay away from LATAM
