Brasilia

What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?

Before moving to Brasilia, expats should be aware that the city is located in the interior of the country and is far from the coast. Additionally, the climate is hot and dry, with temperatures reaching up to 40°C in the summer months. Expats should also be aware that Brasilia is a planned city, and the layout of the city can be confusing for newcomers. Furthermore, the cost of living in Brasilia is relatively high, and expats should budget accordingly. Finally, expats should be aware that Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, and it is recommended to learn some basic Portuguese before moving to Brasilia.
