What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"Expats and digital nomads in Brazil are generally welcomed with open arms and enjoy an active lifestyle. There are attractive cities such as Sao Paulo, Salvador, Recife and Fortaleza, which offer access to some of Brazil’s greatest attractions, such as its beaches and rainforest. Brazil is renowned for its nightlife and its vibrant culture, which makes it a great destination for travelers looking to experience the country’s many cultures and customs. Expats and digital nomads also benefit from fairly affordable living costs, a strong public transportation system and an improving economic climate," explained one expat living in Brazil.

"Peoples lives, no joke, revolve around the beach and sports. You will meet many people by just going to the beach or walking on the beach front and around the Lagoa (lagoon). Brazilians are very easy going; they talk to you all the time and everywhere. Some knowledge of the language is essential. Nobody, outside the tourist industry, speaks any English or any other language for that matter, but Portuguese," said another expat in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
