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.

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.

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?
