Another fantastic video my friend, excellent job as always. Recife looks so nice, clean, laid back. I particularly like the streets that had the stones on the ground. Also, that beach you visited in the south looked so nice for swimming. Keep good my friend.

Your channel and content is great, I’m just not sure if there is enough demand for Brazil in the international travel scene for some bizarre inexplicable reason. Everyone only wants to go to Colombia, Mexico or DR. You should have over 100 thousand subs

I hear you, but I’m a hundred percent sure Brazil will get a big boost in the near future. But Colombia is not a bad option … thanks for watching and supporting 🙏💖🇧🇷

[@SwedishGringo]

It sure is! ❤️🇧🇷

[@Nathavolt]

I really like your videos, how you show both the good side and the bad side of each city, alerting people to the dangers of each city/region, but without dramatizing, without wanting to scare. The best way for tourists to have a pleasant stay in Brazil is to know what the dangers are and how to avoid them. The less occurrences of theft or violence against tourists here in Brazil, the better for tourism. In my opinion, knowing in advance which are the dangerous and which are the safe regions of a city makes people create courage to visit it because nobody feels comfortable with the unknown, especially with so much negative (and often exaggerated) information ) about violence in Brazil that are told in other countries. I am amazed to see how easily you connect with Brazilians and how easily you can make new friends in each city. I think you were born in the wrong country because you seem to have a Brazilian soul.

[@SwedishGringo]

Aaah, thank you so much for this sweet, energizing comment!💚 I acctually had a pretty rough day, so it really helped to put a smile back on my face 🙏

I'm from Recife and in Boa Viagem beach itself is very safe againt shark attacks, as long as you stay before the reef. Most parts of the shark attacks that happens are in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, which only people who are unaware of the signs can get bitten.

They are quiete similar! Fortaleza feels a little cleaner and safer but the old town in Recife is great. You gotta visit both!

[@Blanketta11]

The sharks Got closed in an artifical bay, when they built some sort od Marina barrier. They thrived and ate everything else. Also reciffe 15 years ago was the scariest town to visit. Everyone kept telling Us we are in big danger and wanted Us to stay at the pousada.. We had fun though.. Not at night. Nights were asking for troubble for gringos

[@SwedishGringo]

What a great story! It’s nice to hear things have gone in the right direction for Recife. It’s definately not that dangerous today, although some areas should be avoides

[@hendrikschuur9755]

Recife, best carnaval in Brazil. I love Frevo. Apart from that don´t like the place at all. Do yourself a BIG favour and get down to Maceio. Praia do Frances is stunning. Joao Pessoa also well worth a visit. Both places are very safe, wouldn´t say that about Recife, not just the sharks!
