"Expats in Rio de Janeiro appreciate the vibrant culture, friendly people, and stunning natural beauty of the city. They also enjoy the city's lively nightlife, its delicious cuisine, and its rich history. The city's stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and breathtaking mountain views are also a major draw for expats. Additionally, the city's diverse cultural offerings, from its world-renowned Carnival celebrations to its vibrant art and music scenes, make it an attractive destination for expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"I love how everything is slightly or amazingly different to what I am used to. There's less rules and regulations (or they are routinely flouted) and therefore people seem freer. The sing-song nature of Portuguese is pretty good, even if it is difficult to pronounce! My language seems monotone in comparison," explained one expat living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
