  • Man i love the culture in Brazil people are chill as hell, polite, and healthy! The complete opposite of here in the states smh. What are you doing for work down there?

    Nice video, I am married to a Brazilian and have been visiting Brazil for 30 years, you are right, Brazilians eat way too much red meat, especially Rio Grand du Sul like Porto Alerge, churrasco is a cultural religion almost!. My wife has been a vegan for 20 years, and when we visited recently, she found it very difficult. Once you move further north like Recife, Salvador or Fortaleza it's more fish and chicken, meat is not eaten often because of the hot humid conditions. And in regards to the language, 30 years ago virtually no one spoke English which made it extremely difficult for me, it's better now, especially in places like Rio, however, you need to learn Portuguese from day one, it's not like Portugal, Spain or Europe where most citizens let's say over 15 years old speak very good English and are pretty much fluent, in this case if you are from the US, Australia, Canada or New Zealand, it's easy for us. But not in Brazil, you need to speak Portuguese, start learning is a positive step and then after a while, you will get the hang of it. Thanks.
  • black people in Brazil are like our distant cousins.....they just speak a different language

    Great vid. Been thinking about moving here after visiting a close friend a couple months ago. Really loved it there and how accessible everything is

    In Copenhagen, Denmark, if you come as tourist, the locals will make sure that you have an unpleasant stay. And if you move there to, they will make it clear that you will never be one of them.

    Just started watching your videos. Good stuff King. I am a frequent traveler- 7 trips out of the country this year alone. Making my first visit to Rio 1st of December. Going to make it a 3 week stay. Looking forward to it.

    Good video. Thanks for posting. I have been to RJ Brazil. I spent three months there in 21/22. I loved it. The culture, the beaches, the people everything was very chill. I’m considering going back, but my problem is I need to find a job that allows me to live out of the country. I was wondering what you do for work? Any suggestions on where to look to find a job that would allow me to work abroad?
  • I’m glad you are loving my country my friend ! I’m from SΓ£o Paulo . Just be careful with your phone on the public .there are alot of pick pockets and they are sneaky . Overall I love my country and enjoy it my friend 😎😎😊😊
