Pipa Brazil 🇧🇷 A Digital Nomad Guide

[@chris420uk]

I dont know why I even watch these videos, I have a family so not going anywhere 😂 Guess it's good to fantasize about different paths I could've taken

[@ChrisRDodd]

Thanks for tuning in! Hope you like the video anyways haha

[@surenot1]

Never too old to have dreams

[@PomaranczaPoczestujSie]

Me too bro xD

[@registmb]

Come to brazil, bring your family. ❤

I have a family and I am flying to Pipa in 1 month! :)

[@JarrettHolmes]

Let's go!! Welcome back man! Awesome meeting you here in Fortaleza. We need to all partner up and make a video with all of us. Brazil 🇧🇷 is amazing! We are living our dreams here.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Thanks man!

[@KurtRWalker]

@@ChristheFreelancer How do you guys like Pipa vs Fortaleza, I am partial to Colombia but I loved Fortaleza most of the experiences I have had in Brazil so far.

[@JasonPizzinoOfficial]

Good to see you back on the 'tube mate! Pipa looks epic.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Cheers mate.

The beach and the vibe of Pipa is unbelievable, can't wait to come back

[@sergiosala]

Finally a good guide, mate! Glad to see you here also. I'm going finally to Brazil so this video come in handy, and still deciding where to go after Rio lol.

[@Brunnu]

I’m from Brazil and I Would recommend you to go to the northeast. To Natal, Fortaleza, São Miguel do gostoso, Jericoacoara and Pipa itself. I’ve been to all of these places and it is amazing!

[@indian-js1xq]

FINALLY YOU UPLOAD THE VIDEO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN MATE

[@JarrettHolmes]

Very good video. Pipa looks incredible. After we go to Jeri, we are definitely going there next.

[@claudiaandreadeia-performa8022]

Welcome to Brazil! 🇧🇷 Very cool, you show one of the best places in the northeast.🏝️🎬🇧🇷

[@abhinavrana1990]

Chris channel is so underrated. With this quality of video, views should be through the roof. Random vlog channels are getting more views what’s wrong with @youtube algorithm.

[@elcapitan6126]

cuz he's not an attractive woman (which gets you views for doing almost nothing)

[@fabiuzz1991]

Great guide! I was there this year between January and March, and was an incredible experience! Going back in 2024 again with my popup coliving Casa Basilico!

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Ah yeah? What can you tell us about this ‘Casa Basilico’?

[@juliazaboklicka6120]

Thanks for asking Chris! Casa Basilico is a pop-up foodie coliving for Digital Nomads! We have opened it last year what a great chapter in Sardinia, where we cooked, worked and traveled around the island! This time we're heading to Pipa in January and will bring our foodie community there! @@ChristheFreelancer

[@sergiosala]

@@juliazaboklicka6120 I might be interested to check the coliving, Goncalo also told me about it. Can we chat?

[@batraworldwide720]

Thank you for the honest view. It's always helpful to know what is the wifi speed at the time tested, too. I wish they'd advertised it on their websites.

[@ej1692]

Yeah I don't know man. I went there for a week in October. It's not quite there yet in terms of the infrastucture, and for long/short term slow travel stays IMO, but definitely a stunning place with incredible beaches to visit for a few days. They want to turn it into a digital nomad haven, but don't really even have a decent cafe scene at all? I found it hard to even find a place to grab a coffee tbh. Maybe in Jan things really start to pick up and get wild, but I found it kind of too quiet and basic. Once you experience the main drag in baia dos golfinhos, you've seen it all. Basically just two blocks with the majority rest of it being residential and hotels/hostels. It's still in it's exploratory phase and hasn't really found it's identity yet. Out of all of the touristy beach towns in the northeast, I personally enjoyed Jeri the most. IMO if you're a digital nomad and are looking to set up shop somewhere, you can just stay in Natal for cheap, and then visit Pipa on the weeknds, but to each their own.

[@sammyjdakid-GFN]

what other nomad hotspots do you recommend or your favourite hotspots? thx in advance

[@tiffanyjoseph1555]

🤗 Pipa 🇧🇷 it looks just as magical as I remember. Looks like the Internet situation got a little bit better but still not ready for long-term work stays. So bummed you didn't get dolphin footage but I'm so pleased you got to experience it. Looking forward to seeing more videos and I'm so excited for you to see you traveling again.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Thanks Tiffany

[@GK-wx6xo]

Good to see you back to making videos again. Thanks for the video.

[@joelvalentim643]

Great content about Pipa, I'm from the northeast in Brazil, state of Ceará.

[@mrjjwilson]

Really good overview in only 10 mins!

[@flappdabass]

Good to see you back again mate

[@jonclement]

You made it to the top of my recommendation vids. Great vid.

[@EvainValencia]

Nice video! I've been here 10 years ago on vacation. And was quite surprised to see it branded as a 'digital nomad' town indeed. Great vacation space but not sure if it is suitable for digital nomands unless you have your own villa with airconditioning and internet

[@p8700-z5q]

Great vid, thanks for the share! What was coworking in Rio like? Would be great to see a vid on Rio if you're planning one in the future

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Not great. Unfortunately coworking spaces and options aren’t too good in Brazil

[@roderickmckinley4738]

I can imagine how some people would find this endless searching entitled... But living the nomad life myself, this retelling of your latest chapter feels so relatably familiar... (for one, am also about to change countries after gf broke up with me 🤣)

[@devgabriel6898]

Yep Pipa will be my first Digital Nomad destination as soon as i change job for a full USD one. Im from Argentina, so the culture will not be to far from mine

[@alexvite5065]

Well done, Chris! Finally a proper Pipa video for Digital Nomads. Pipa needs a proper coworking space and cheaper accommodation. 49$ a night is a quiet a lot, considering you pay 10$ for your private room in Bali in a nice guesthouse. Maybe in a couple of years🙌

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Thanks Alex. Bali is getting more expensive though.

[@ej1692]

Ha, yeah right man. The price will only go up from here in Pipa. This is the cheapest it will be. Enjoy it now before the buckets of euros and dollars start to flow in the coming years.

[@watablueberry]

Already booked for 2024 with Casa Basilico coliving! Looks amazing!

[@elcapitan6126]

I take it you do some type of software development / engineering. How do you balance maintaining the technical skills and knowledge with "having a normal life" outside of that. In my experience this career path is naturally a bit asocial and requires a lot of time investment beyond billable hours to maintain. Do you use hired / outsourced help sometimes for example?

[@Brasileira4kWalks]

Amazing city!!! And the video is very great!!

[@ezequielventura2632]

Hi Chris TKS for sharing! Are u Guys planning to head south? Am running a digital nomad place here in Boissucanga in very early stage, not sure new Bali but maybe worth for 2 or 3 months stay

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Hi there. I'm in Fortaleza right now and Paty is back in Rio. You can find my travel plans on Nomad List at nomadlist.com/@chrisrdodd

[@brunoferreira.tech_]

It showed what's typically about Brazil, lies and lies. It's a good place, Pipa is awesome, but definitely is not a place for "digital nomads", they just found a cool name to make it sounds "different" and have higher price, because in that region, the things are shipper. But I enjoyed my experience in "João Pessoa" which is about 130km distance from Pipa, it's a capital and we can find anything.

[@josiaharnold8881]

Hey man! Kiwi here. Curious if you have any suggestions for good places to live and work from in Brazil/south/Central America? I take zoom meetings most of the day and need quiet spaces with AC. Would love some advice from the ground! Cheers!

The answer - probably too much haha

Nice video mate

[@finnbartram8058]

Thanks for the vid! You didn't surf at all?

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Nup. I don't surf in general but maybe I will learn one day.

[@EsHbAnBaHaDuR]

Thanks for this but How safe is PIPA for Digital Nomads?

[@ChristheFreelancer]

'How safe' is a broad question that's hard to answer but I personally had no concerns with safety when I was there. As far as I'm aware, it's very safe.

[@AbroadInThailand]

Nice video! Let me know if you make it over to Koh Samui Thailand 🏝️

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Spent a lot of time in Thailand. No interest to go back right now :)

[@odellowe7340]

So you lived quite a few places, where would you recommend thats not bali, i watch modt your videos so i seen the places you been, what would be your number 1 spot

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Why not Bali? haha

[@odellowe7340]

​@@ChristheFreelancerI lived in Bali pre pandemic and it was great, I visited last year and its different, it's not for me anymore, the crowd visiting is mostly party animals, they always had crazy party but noe these ppl have created a new Bali, the zenness is gone

[@ChristheFreelancer]

@@odellowe7340 ah I see. Perhaps another area of Bali then? I assume you’re referring to more so the Canggu area and not somewhere like Ubud

Dude have you any idea what happened too ‘Psycho Traveller’? Even her other page ‘Alys other life’ has nothing been posted in over a year now? No sign of her at all?

[@ChristheFreelancer]

nah I hadn't, until you mentioned her right now. Hopefully she's ok.

[@LocoBTC]

What is an estimated monthly budget? (like bali?)

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Only spent 12 days there but it’s pretty affordable. Not sure how much for one month but it’s comparable in cost to Bali I’d say.

[@JoséMarcosaraujodemacedo]

O que vc mais gostou do seu passeio

[@generalmike-jo1cv]

How much is the total cost of living per month???

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Hard question to answer given I didn’t stay a whole month. It also depends on what activities are included in the calculation.

[@brunoventurin2267]

Bro is such a princess complaining about bugs. Spent a month in pipa didn’t get bitten by one mosquito. I get bitten more by bugs in Canada than pipa.
