VAN LIFE BURN OUT IN BRAZIL - Are We Tired of Traveling

[@MaryTerry45]

We lived in Brazil five years and I wish I could have seen more of the country. Beautiful country and beautiful people. Saudades…..

[@terrieannschmearer]

My husband and I purchased a travel trailer with the intention of traveling the U.S. Now we want to go to South America and definitely Brazil after watching your videos. We are now out looking at Class C's. My husband is too tall for a Class B. We would rather drive our home throughout South America than try and tow a trailer. Your videos have inspired a change in our life plans.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Go for it! Curt is 6'2" and fits in our van without ducking... our advice.... stay as narrow as possible and try not to go over 7 meters long! You can do it with longer, but it will limit some of the mountain roads! Chase those dreams!!!

[@terrieannschmearer]

@@SnowAndCurt My husband is 6'5" and claustrophobic. He just can't do a B. We are excitedly looking. :)

[@MTGoddard]

Guys, you have no IDEA how much you both will miss Brazil, it’s a MYSTICAL land….They have a Happy, content and amazing ENERGY flows from everywhere , the animals, the trees, the sky, the water,the people ,the green and the coffee. The simplicity around is so healthy,the fruits are to heal anyone sick, the peace and the poems from sky. What amazing and unforgettable experience ! I am Brazilian living in Canada, love it! Don’t take me wrong, but there’s no wind, there’s no flow, there is no simplicity and no poem. I am retired now After 32 years in Canadian soil. Thinking of move back and explore Brazil , I could never do that when I was there, but now I CAN! Enjoy you trip , every moment of it! Bless you all. Greetings from Quebec 🇨🇦

[@kronop8884]

Regardless you will have seen more of Brazil than most foreigners ever get a chance to, even after spending three years in Brazil as an Expat travelling extensively I feel that there is a lifetime of exploration left to do

[@MagaliKarim]

And even more than that, Brazilians who don't like Brazil don't travel within the country. They choose Orlando.

[@rafael.macedo]

​@@MagaliKarimeverything starts from the principle of exploring new and different things. What seems banal to some may be big news to others. We don't have to judge, because it's the same feeling in knowing something new.

I am a fellow expat in 4 years of travel I have been to beaches of Piauí to Rio Grande do Sul but I could never in my lifetime see it all. Brazil is so vast with endless surprises.

[@michelleclark9445]

Good morning Snow and Curt 🌞 I don't know if I could have left that intown campsite after seeing and feeding those wee monkeys. They were so freaking cute 🙂 I hope you are successful in getting your visas extended. I bet if you had a year in Brazil, you would still not see half of the wonders this beautiful country has to offer. Nice to see you both slowing down a bit and enjoying that peaceful campsite. Between all the activities we see you both do online and what I suspect you do behind the scenes with editing, researching, driving, etc, I imagine getting burnt-out happens more often than we realize. Remember to take time to stop and smell the roses, or feed/film the wild critters, whichever floats your boat. 🐒 Safe travels, 🤗🇨🇦

[@edilsoncostamota65]

Vocês merecem ter um cantinho para poder descansar e curtir a maturidade da vida. Caso escolham o Brasil para essa aposentadoria estaremos de braços abertos para recebe -los. O turismo em nosso país tem muito potencial ainda para ser explorado. Estamos orgulhosos de tudo que vocês falam.

This was an incredibly interesting video, Snow and Curt. It’s the first time I’ve thought yes I could live there. The only drawback is not speaking the language. Second drawback…my husband and I are really too old. So, I travel the world vicariously with you two lovely people. The birds are so beautiful and provide so much joy. Seeing your excitement is contagious. Sending hugs from Hammond, Louisiana. 🌺

[@cgreen186]

Good morning Snow and Curt! I love seeing those little monkeys and how they took the food from you and also love all of those birds. You are doing it correctly staying so you can rest that last place was such a beautiful place. The Brazilian people are so wonderful and you take such wonderful videos of all the places you've been. I said this before and I'll say it again you two are my extremely number one favorite people and I believe have become my friends. I traveled Europe in the 80s for business and then I went over and visited a couple years ago but Europe is not the same Europe that they were at one time. I'm sure you will enjoy different places in Europe that there are some places in Europe now that are not RV friendly you might want to check that out before you go. After Europe I know you will be homesick for Brazil. I also like rodeos and at 79 I don't get to see them as often as I want except on the television. But we have many many Brazilians that come over here and they do so well in the rodeos and they take it back home and make their country better! Isn't that wonderful. I did get to know a Brazilian couple that came to New Mexico because they said the people were so nice here. I had them in my home and I'll tell you they were wonderful. If you retire and Brazil I know you will be very happy. I hope you get your visas extendeed! May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you; giving you His peace.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Awwww... Thanks so much for those kind words @cgreen186!

[@RandomNPC001]

Please DO NOT skip Espirito Santo, the state has some of the largest and best preserved Atlantic Rain Forest in Brazil (World). Espírito Santo is known for its tropical beaches and mountainous nature preserves. Founded in 1551, the capital and port city Vitória has a compact colonial-era center. Across narrow Vitória Bay lies Vila Velha, site of Praia da Costa, a famous beach getaway, and to the 16th-century Penha Convent are a must visit if you are in the area. If you plan to maybe in a possible future build yourself a little area where you can live and make some money that is close to the coast and yet in the mountains, then look no further than Espirito Santo where travel time from a gorgeous coast to the mountains is around 30 minutes and I mean Gorgeous. There`s a place in the city of Guarapari (beautiful coast in the state) called Buenos Aires that sits in beautiful vegetation and high hills and yet overlooks the ocean!! 😍😍

[@taniareginaoliveirabonfim2545]

Verdade! O Espirito tem uma natureza linda, praias, florestas, montanhas!

[@jenh9252]

Don't put pressure on them, there is only so much time!

[@gailtrotman5256]

Seems like a lovely place to chill for less than $5.00 a day, a beach and all the conveniences. If it was me, I would plunk my van down for a month, gather my thoughts, and relax with no agenda. You haven't had an extended break since Buenas Airies . I can sure understand feeling burnt out.😮

[@SnowAndCurt]

Happy to have you along for the journey!

[@PhoenixBeI]

I simply ADORE Paraty, and considered retiring there (taxes in Brazil make it hard for US retirees, double taxation). I was hoping to see more of the town. Two fun facts abt Paraty: 1) you may have noticed that there's a step to get into any building there. When it's high tide, the water runs into the area. The builders decided to maintain that feature so that the high tide would clean the streets daily. This also why the streets are always wet. If you pay attention, the streets are U-shaped precisely to keep the water away from the doorways. 2) The man who would be the Emperor of Brazil lives there! Yes, Brazil is the only country in America with a bona fide royal family. I saw a video on KZbin about him at some point. His house is, obviously, to die for. On a related note, Montreal is the only walled city in the continent. No need to go to Europe to see walled cities and frolic with royalty. Lol 😂😂😂

[@carlosponchio1869]

Pretty nice looking Campground. Good infrastructure. Much like a zen place to hang around. It is good for the soul.

[@user-je2gm7gn3m]

With one of the greatest bird diversity in Brazil, more than 500 birds have already been identified in Ubatuba. The number represents 5% of the entire volume of birds in the world, and 30% of those found in the country. In 2009, Ubatuba was considered by Embratur to be the best birdwatching tourist destination in the country.

[@echoesroll]

Parati looks very similar to Ouro Preto ( black gold ) in Minas Gerais state . I mean the houses , churches…the windows and door paints .

Guys, I’m from Rio de Janeiro. I was born and lived there for a great part of my life. As we say in Brasil “Rio is not for beginners”. As you mentioned you want to drive thru RJ I suggest you travel in a “expedition mode” with more than one RV.

To see and go to every places you originally wanted it would take you no less than 2 years only to start! Brazil is very huge and diverse. You are only having little samples of our country.

The original man-made cobblestone roads in historic section in Paraty & buildings with splashes of vibrant colour are lovely! Still love travelling with you both! How long have you been there now? 🤔😁 That campsite was perfect & quiet the way you like it plus lots of birds! 💜💙🇦🇺🍷🍷🤗

[@SnowAndCurt]

We have been in brazil around 60 days this time.... we are allowed 90 days on a visa!

[@CFtablet]

​@SnowAndCurt Usually, in Brazil you can renew it for more 90 days (making it 180 in total). For the passport and for the temporary import of the van. The authorities (Receita Federal for the van and Polícia Federal for your passports) or maybe even your Embassy/consulates could give you an accurate answer.

Copying my comment from the other video: Rio is a big city, but in the most part of it, doesn't have that massive city vibe, it has lots of nature inside city limits, some 100 km of beautiful coastline, some unspoiled natural beaches and the largest urban forest in the world, if you decide to go, I might suggest following the "Vandersons" footsteps

[@MauroVictorBarros]

I have no idea about your plans, but this is my suggestion: after Rio, go north to Petrópolis, a Imperial city up in the mountains, where our emperors had a residence. Then go to the state of Minas Gerais and visit the historical (colonial style) cities: Tiradentes, São João del Rei e Ouro Preto.

Dear Snow and Curt, you are so special... The Federal Police station in São Sebastião, a two hours drive from Ubatuba, is not crowded and it seems to me the perfect place to ask for a Visa extension.

We totally understand your travel burnout. We ventured from Florida in 2017 in a VW bus and went way too fast and then took a break. Covid broke out just as we were to get back on the road. Soooo disappointing. Anywho we decided to work temporarily, bought a 5 acre property to be able to escape too just in case and relax until the chaos subsides a bit. We just travel in our area and come back when we are ready to relax. We started the whole KZbin thing but felt we were always with camera and not enjoying the experience more. Just slow down and enjoy. Seems like you always miss something and have to plan to go back, don’t ya think?? I know we say it wherever we go.

I'm a nester. I like to build things, grow things and create. The nomad lifestyle is intriguing but I don't think I would like having to find somewhere to park it.

Then having a home base, do short trips from there. I don't know....just day dreaming.

A little explored place in Brazil is the state of Espírito Santo. Here we have a huge Atlantic Forest preservation area. For more than 100 years, Deforestation was banned to form a green barrier and protect gold in the interior of the country, mainly Minas Gerais. This delayed development in the state, but provided the preservation we have today. I suggest the Pedra Azul region in the city of Domingos Martins; the Poço do Egito in Iúna; and the city of Santa Tereza, the first city in the country colonized by Italians and which has a biological reserve with many hummingbirds and biodiversity. I mentioned some places, but the state is very rich in attractions involving nature. Not to mention the 250 miles of coastline with over 100 machinic beaches.

Brazil is THE BEST country in the world for nature lovers for sure.

Hei Snow and Curt. Your videos are great, you are really good in making us interested in your adventure. I hope this comment reach out to you. I see how you guys like nature and animals. If you are still in Rio, you can get to know the Maned Wolf (or Guará wolf as we call him) in the neighbor state of Minas Gerais. There is actually a place here where you can have a night encounter face to face with the wild Guará. That place is named "Santuário do Caraça". Also there is a lot of history and nature in the mountais of Minas Gerais. I bet you would really enjoy visiting the state. I wish you a good travel through the world! :-)

I think the burnout may like be information overload, so to speak. But it's understandable! But thank you for taking us along anyway!

Love, love Paraty! Even with mosquitos - bug spray turned out to be my body scent and I didn't care!

Hi Snow and Curt - I just joined and will go back to see yr previous videos . I spent a total of about 12 yrs in Brazil and it was a wonderful time. Now I am using my Brazilian Portuguese to communicate with the ‘natives’. I have been living in the Lisbon/cascais area since arriving here in 1986! I am Swedish and I am OLD 😊

A viagem de voces é a coisa mais preciosa. Vocês mostram lugares do Brazil que poucos vão ou conhecem, e como estou encantada com cada lugar ❤

Hello guys I find your channels now today and I got so excited. I really love all the contents. You guys doing an amazing job. Almost at the end of the video you say that you may consider retiring or moving to Brazil oh my god that’s exactly what we’re trying to do my husband and I so I wish you guys the best of luck. Sending you both blessings in until the next video.
