EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED - Van Life Brazil

- Опубліковано 17 чер 2023
- 5 years of Van Life travel through 18 countries and we are here to now enjoy Brazil! We are struggling to communicate a bit, I must admit. Portuguese is way harder than we thought it would be, even though we speak Spanish!
As we wander the natural parts of Brazil we find a slot canyon and are suggested another amazing place by some locals! Make sure to stick around until the end to find out some of our gas station shower secrets.
See you on Sunday!

Amazing rock formations! Really like the waterfall in the last one! I think it is really nice that you try to speak the country’s language, even though it is hard. Thanks for another amazing video!
Thank you so much, Andy! We were blown away by the rock formations too, they were truly stunning. And yes, we always try to learn a few key phrases in the local language to help us connect with the people and culture of the places we visit. It can be challenging, but it's also very rewarding! We're so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your support!
Even if you touch the shower you won't get shocked, unless there's some problem with the installation
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you. It's been a while since we've been shocked by one of those, but it's definitely happened. Stay safe and have a great day! 😊
Thanks for the tour video - just like being a tourist, but from home!
Hi Elsa! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour video. It's always great to hear that we can bring a little bit of adventure to your day from the comfort of your home. Keep exploring with us! :)
That shower reminds me of the one we used to have in my house. It shocked the hell out of me quite often. I mean. It would throw me across the room😂.
Hi Maggie! Oh no, that sounds like quite the shocking experience! Thanks for sharing your story with us! 😊
That was epic!!!!
Thank you so much, Lucila! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video. It was such an amazing experience and I'm glad I could share it with you. Keep adventuring!
Thanks for sharing all the exciting crazy spots you visited today, really awesome!!!! don't worry about the language as there will always be someone around to help you....Keep safe....
Hey Diana! Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed our latest adventure. You're right, there's always someone around to help us out with the language barrier. We're having such a blast exploring new places and meeting new people. Stay tuned for more adventures and stay safe too! :)
I really think the helmets are for show. 😂❤. Those are some huge rocks over your head. Incredibly beautiful but the ay the ground is cracking apart you may go to sleep and wake up somewhere else 😂 great video.
Haha, Cathy! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Those rocks were massive and stunning. It was an incredible experience to be surrounded by them. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Feelin' the claustrophobia! Beautiful cracks!
Hey Kathy! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I know the feeling of claustrophobia can be overwhelming sometimes, but isn't it amazing how these natural formations can still be so beautiful? Glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great day.
Those hikes were so beautiful ty for sharing its nice to see your channel growing u deserve it :-)
Thank you so much, Kelleena! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the hikes we shared on the channel. It means a lot to me that you appreciate our content and are enjoying watching us grow. We love sharing our adventures with everyone and hope to inspire others to explore the world around them. Thanks for watching!
Really impressive geological finds. Thank you for bringing us along! I’m glad Sombrita was able to go with you to the first hike. Another great video 😊
Thank you so much, Tania! We're always happy to share our adventures with you and our furry companions. Sombrita is definitely a trooper and loves to explore with us 😊
I was watching the passages again. They are amazing! I've been to Curitiba, but didn't know of this special place. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Gill! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that I could introduce you to a new place in Curitiba. It's always exciting to discover hidden gems in a city. Have you been to any other amazing places in South America?
@@the.vandersons I wish I could give an amazing answer. I've pretty much enjoyed the places I've been. You've been to Foz do Iguaçu and the waterfalls on both sides. I stayed in Ushuaia for almost three months and love it there. I was going to return then Covid closed everything. I've enjoyed the beaches here in Florianópolis and remained because I had a brain tumor. We never know what's coming our way. I'm fine, but no more hiking trails or bicycle cruises for me. Floripa is cool . It's certainly got plenty of beaches. Would love to meet you guys, but know you're on a busy schedule. Be safe!
@Gill Elmore Hi Gill! Thank you for sharing your experiences. It sounds like you have been to some amazing places and have had some unexpected challenges as well. We are sorry to hear about your health situation but glad to hear you are doing well. In the real world (not YT world) we're actually past Floripa already but would have loved to meet up! BTW We also stayed in Ushuaia for a long time and REALLY love it down there also!
Super interesting 👏. Mole cricket and amblypygid 👏. I can’t wait to go to Brazil 🇧🇷 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much for your comment, C M! We're glad you found our video interesting. Brazil is such an amazing country with so much to offer. Have a great day! 🐾🐱🐶
@@the.vandersons 💯❤️🇧🇷. Looking forward to watching more. I would like to find an area for expats maybe.
@C M Hey C M! Thanks for your positive comment, we're so glad you enjoyed our video! We've met expats in various parts of the continent and they always have great things to say about their communities. It really depends on what you're looking for - do you prefer a bustling city or a quiet beach town? Thanks for watching and happy travels! 🌎🐾🚐
💡👍Brilliant !!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed my video. Have a wonderful day! 🌞
That was a great tour.
Thank you so much, Maggie! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Have a great day! :)
Wow! All of those places were really cool!! Brazil definitely is a great place to immerse yourself in nature! Such beautiful things to see! Luv U Guys ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words, Taylored Travels! Brazil truly is an amazing country with so much natural beauty to explore. We're glad you enjoyed our video and we hope it inspires you to plan your own adventure there someday. Sending lots of love back to you! ❤️
UN-believable -- some CRAZY Crevaces!!
Nice to know the people are friendly and you lucked out to cross paths with some English speakers! This was mind- blowing geological "formations?" or events? Can't imagine being around when they developed. Thanks for the great footage and info!
Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Hi Adrian! So glad you enjoyed the footage and info! Those crevices were definitely something else, huh? And yes, we were very fortunate to come across some English speakers who were able to give us some insight into the geological history of the area. It's amazing to think about how these formations came to be over millions of years. Thanks for watching and commenting, and cheers from South America! - Emily and the van crew
Fascinating geology there. I had no idea these places existed in Brazil! Happy travels! ✌️❤️🚐
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos and leaving a comment. We're also amazed by the geology here in Brazil. It's truly stunning! We're happy to share our travels with you and hope that you continue to enjoy following us on our adventures. Safe travels to you too! 🌎🚐🐾
Afternoon, from the uk😊
Hello Louise B.! Good afternoon from South America! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Hope you are having a great day! 😊
Loved your entire episode!! Hard pressed to choose which “canyon “ was better!
Thank you so much, Susan! We're glad you enjoyed our episode. It's tough to choose which canyon is better, they're both so unique and beautiful in their own way! We hope you continue to enjoy our adventures and stay tuned for more exciting episodes.
Another really nice video! I didn't know this place, thank you for showing it for us ^^
Thank you so much, Tairon! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and discovered a new place through it. It's always my pleasure to share my adventures with you all. Have a wonderful day!
Fantastic, splendid and spectacular ❤❤❤ fabulous 🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Sam! Your words truly mean a lot to me. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed my video and I hope that it inspired you to go on your own adventures! Have a fantastic day! ❤️🌞
I love it and wish I could travel there but the lack of communication not so goid
Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our adventures and leave a comment. I totally understand your concern about communication, it can definitely be a challenge when traveling in different parts of the world. However, I can assure you that with a little bit of preparation and research, it's possible to stay connected and make the most out of your travels. Have you ever considered using Google Translate to help with language barriers? Thanks again for your support and happy travels! 🌎✨
A refeição parece bem saborosa!

❤️
Those cracks and holes in the earth are crazy!!!!
Yes, they really are! It's amazing to see how nature can create such unique and beautiful formations. Have you ever been to any places with similar geological wonders?
Good morning, I am your viewer living in Canada. I have been watching your program, but two months ago there were suddenly no Chinese subtitles! I would like to ask you to increase the Chinese subtitles! thank you!
Are you guys going to Venezuela and the Guayanas?
Snow and Curt are in Chile if you want to meet up with them.
Hi Melissa! Thanks for the suggestion, we'll definitely look into it. Chile is a beautiful country and we would love to meet up with Snow and Curt if we have the chance! Have a great day! :)
@@the.vandersons I would love to see a video of you meeting up with Snow and Curt again. :)
@Melissa Hoffman Hi Melissa! Thanks for watching! :)
I think you guys can try to say the portuguese words the way you say in spanish and brazilians probably will understand most of the things.
And I think the most different sounds you need to learn to understand way more the portuguese language are:
"ão" - Like in Pão (bread), it's a nasal sound, foreigners has a hard time trying to pronounce it. And all words in spanish that finishes with "ción", in english "tion" in portuguese will be "ão". Like: "Evolución", "Evolution", "Evolução". You need to hear a native saying it to assimilate.
"nh" - Like in all diminutive words "gatinho" (little cat, gatito), if the "nh" is in diminutive words its equivalent is "ito" in spanish like in "gatito". It is also a nasal sound and it is almost the english pronounciation of "nyo, nya", "gatinyo". But it can be used without the diminutive purpose, like "dinheiro" (money, dinero"), you could pronounce in english "dinyero" (with the spanish R)"
"lh" - Like in "humilhação" (humiliation, humilación), this one you can pronounce in english putting a "i" instead of the "h" like "humiliação", or in "bilhete" (Ticket) -> Biliete.
"ç" letter - like in "Açaí" - It is just a fancy "s", it sounds like the "s" in english, like the s in "saturday"
And there are types of "R", "S" and "X".
"R" in the begining of the word sounds always like the english "H". Like "realização" (realization, realización) this "re" sounds kinda like "he" in "hero"
"R" in the middle of the word sounds like the R in spanish. Like "dragão" (dragon, dragón) or "pirata" (pirate, pirata).
"RR" double R always appears in the middle of a word, and it also sounds like the english H. Like in "carro" (car), in english the "rro" sounds "ho".
"R" in the end of the word sounds always like the english rolled R (some accents says it a little different, but don't worry with that, this way is the most common). Like in "falar" (speak, falar), this "ar" in the end sounds exactly how you guys pronounce the isolated letter R in the alphabet.
"S" in the beginning of the word sounds always like the normal S in english in "saturday". "Saúde" (health, salud), "salário" (salary, salario). Except when it is "Sh", like in "show" which is the same english pronounciation.
"S" in the middle of the word between 2 vowels sounds kinda like "Z" or "ze from zebra in english". "Casa" (house, casa), "camisa" (shirt, camisa) it sounds like "caza", "camiza".
"S" after L, N sounds like the normal english "S". "Bolso" (pocket, bolso). this S is exactly like the "so" in the spanish word "Bolso". "Cansado" (tired, cansado), exactly like in spanish.
"SS" double S in the middle of the word, sounds like normal "S". "Essencial" (essential). Sound exactly like "essen" in english
"S" in the end of the word, sounds exactly like the S in the end of spanish and english words. "Casas" (houses, casas).
"X" has more rules and exceptions, so I will only put the most common examples.
"X" in the beginning of the word has the "sh" sound, like in "xícara" (tea), in english "shicara" (with spanish R)
"X" between two vowels sounds like Z. Like in "exame" (exame), "ezame". "exemplo" (example), ezemplo
"X" when it is in words not from portuguese sounds like "KS". Like "táxi" (taxi), you can say "taksi".
"X" before the letter "C" has no sound. Like "excelente" (excelent), "excesso" (excess), you can say "ecelente", "ecesso"
At don't worry about the "Ti" "Te", "De" pronounciation, you can say it exactly how you say in spanish, because it is also correct in portuguese in many dialects, some of us say "Te" as "Tchi" like in "Te amo" (I love you), but some of us say exactly like the spanish people say (and it is how european portuguese says it). Another example "Rio DE Janeiro", you cay say "De" like in spanish or "Dgi/Jay (hard to describe the sound here)".
Portuguese has all spanish phonemes while spanish doesn't have all portuguese phonemes. Which means portuguese speakers understand more spanish than the other way around.
Portuguese and Spanish are considered phonetically consistent, you read how its writtten (most of the times, but spanish is even more consistent), while, for example, english is not phonetically consistent, so in terms of pronounciation, when you try to read sentences, English for some people is harder than portuguese and spanish, since it has almost no rules, the same letter and silable has a lot of different ways of pronounciation. What makes portuguese harder for some people it is the rules, english lacks rules, but portuguese tries to "help" the speaker using these rules and accent symbols " ´ ~ ^ ", so you can know how to correctly say "você" without someone saying it before, just respecting "the instructions" given to you. In english we memorize, you can't learn a rule to understand the logic behind most of the pronounciations, like the "ough" sound for example:
though (like o in go)
through (like oo in too)
cough (like off in offer)
rough (like uff in suffer)
plough (like ow in flower)
ought (like aw in saw)
borough
But don't worry with any of these rules, knowing spanish is already enough, I've watched many foreigners traveling in months and months in Brazil without speaking portuguese and some not even spanish.
Hi Tairon! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us all these tips on pronouncing Portuguese words. We really appreciate it! We'll definitely keep these in mind as we continue our adventures through South America. It's amazing how similar Portuguese and Spanish are, and it's good to know that our Spanish background will help us understand Portuguese to some extent. We're always up for a language challenge, so we'll do our best to learn and adapt as we go along. Thanks again for your support and encouragement! Happy travels to you too! 😊🌍
