Some fellow Brazilians says "don't come to Brazil" because they always think 'the grass is greener' on the other side and don't realize how amazing and blessed they are to live in a country like Brazil, despite all of its flaws (and there are some). I'm Brazilian and i absolutely love my country! Welcome to Brazil!
I’m from California, worked as a CT tech in a Regional Trauma Center. Me and my wife are in our late 50s. Living in São Paulo. We pay for private Healthcare through Prevent Senior for 1/3 the cost we would pay for an HMO in California, but you don’t get three times better care in the US. I’m impressed with the delivery of care through Prevent Senior. I’m impressed with the facilities. I’m in love with the doctors. Far more empathetic than counterparts in the US. Wait times for routine exams can take 1 or 2 months, but if you plan ahead it’s no big deal. Now I can’t speak for the rest of the country.
Anyone who has to wait months and years for surgery and appointments in Canada's "free" health care system, will appreciate how good and efficient a two-tier system really is...
Hi mate, how did the move go? Was thinking of going there next year as a 29M for travel. Island hopping and trecking the vast scenery. How're you finding the day to day life?
"SUS isn't good" said the Brazilian who never had experience with health care in other countries. My father had cancer, it was very bad and we had the best treatment ever and I say "we" because they offered psychological support from the hospital to the family. His situation it was very critical, his oncologist would stop by his bed time to time just to chat with my dad and make him laugh. It's impossible to put into words how grateful I am to that doctor. The system is great, some doctors can be shitty but not the system. I live in The Netherlands now and here we do not even the option of private doctors and the system I'm facing...
I hope you don’t think I’m putting SUS down, because I’m not, compared to Ireland a supposedly “1st world country” our health care system is so SO terrible you have no idea. I received the best healthcare in Brazil
Sus is not bad. It just not work at all. Only if you have a ton of luck, have ties to a politician or you are famous. Tip: don't get hurt in Brazil if you not have a health insurance.
@@rebeccahitchcock Rebecca you should put SUS down there is a brainwashing over how good SUS actually, it is simply like a butchery, a horror shown no one should ever be part of .
I lived in Ireland for 6 years and miss a lot of things from there, it's a beautiful country and the people are very friendly, however, Brazil has a lot of things to offer when it comes to quality of life, especially the weather, the beaches, food, etc :)
I am from pakistan and lives in brazil brazilian peoles are very nice and freindly and weather is also very nice .i love minas gerais i think it is just heaven on earth.
Welcome to Brazil! There are few Pakistanis in Brazil. I'm glad people are treating you well. I like how friendly Brazilians can be and I do hope that immigrants and visitors share the same view :D
Welcome to Brazil! I'm originally from the UK but moved to SP all the way back in 2015. My wife and I would love to meet up one day and share stories about our time here :)
Thanks so much for your video! I am Italian, married to a Brazilian, and we’ve been living in Scotland for nine years. We have a little daughter and can totally relate to the way you say you felt in Ireland. We are also considering moving to the state of SP, so I’ll definitely keep watching your videos for tips and info :) Who knows one day we might meet there! Take care and enjoy Brazil 🇧🇷
I am Brazilian. My family came from Portugal many centuries ago and we were farmers, especially coffee farmers. When my grandfather died, the family split up and each of my uncles went to different places in search of a new life away from the farm. So I lived in Bahia when I was a child, then I lived in São Paulo and when I was 11 years old I lived in the Leblon neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Today I live in Brasília, Águas Claras and I am a retired health worker from the SUS. What can I say to all the foreigners? There are several Brazils in one Brazil. Let's start by talking about the poor regions, which are the Northeast and the North. The South region is the richest, most organized, with better schools, a good level of education and public services. The reason is that in the 18th century Brazil encouraged the arrival of foreign settlers because the Earth is continental in size. You can't compare some places that have an excellent quality of life and are in the South Region, such as Balneário de Camboriu, Florianópolis, Ilha do Mel, etc. The Brazilian Northeast region was tied to sugarcane production, sugar mills and everything that was backward for a long time, and for this reason, it became a poor region. The capitals of the Northeastern states are violent and dangerous. The Southeast region is made up of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and other states. The fact is that the capital of Brazil was Rio de Janeiro for a while, but in 1960 it was strategically transferred to the center of Brazil, because the country is huge and needed to keep a capital in the center. So, in an architects' competition, the capital was created called Brasília/Federal District, which has a good quality of life. My experience with Rio de Janeiro was living in a good neighborhood, but not being able to walk down the street without being mugged and the place is very violent, and I will explain why. Geographically, Rio de Janeiro is surrounded by hills and the high rent prices forced migrants from the Northeast region, who migrated to Rio de Janeiro, to live in places that were initially uninhabited, such as the hills. There, the poor workers lived in zinc houses, which were later moved to brick houses, but without any infrastructure. With the increase in migration, millions of favelas, as these very poor houses are called, emerged. The middle class, the children of the middle class, used drugs a lot to have fun and a small number of favela residents saw drug sales as a way to survive. This led to violence, because drug trafficking brings violence and is linked to robberies, armed robberies in the streets, at any time, and shootouts with the police or between rival drug trafficking groups. After I moved from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, when I was 11 years old, I was mugged several times and when I left Rio de Janeiro for Brasília/DF, I went through a period of adaptation because I was very suspicious walking on the streets and driving a car and I had to adapt to the calm of Brasília and I gradually lost the insomnia of having lived in Rio de Janeiro, a violent place due to these contradictions or conflicts between social classes. I currently still live in Brasília, DF, and you should be very careful when choosing the state you are going to live in. I believe that those of us who have studied, who have invested a lot in our studies and education, want to live well and living in a condominium is better, but as long as it is in a good region, with quality of life, people who think the same in terms of fighting to be in a peaceful environment, with different people who think like you and want to educate their children. I have 4 children, 1 engineer, two dentists and a 3-year-old girl, because I love having children in the house. The quality of life, even here in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, has changed because the Brazilian Northeast region, due to the lack of opportunities to keep the people from the Northeast there, brought about the sprawl of Brasília. If before we used to walk down the street without any problems, nowadays we live only from home to work and to the condominium, taking care to know where we are going and at what time, to avoid any dangerous situations. But if you are careful and live in a condominium, there is no danger of crime here, as is the case in some good cities in the South Region. But I have that saying that to live well, we have to pay to be in a good condominium. The same goes for schools; the quality of public schools in Brazil has fallen for decades and currently the best schools are private ones, and then there are the costs with tuition, materials, tutoring, transportation, etc. But private schools are better, the level of education is better than public schools. The latter has fallen in quality and still has overcrowded classrooms with students, on average 40 to 60 students, and this overcrowding makes it impossible to teach children and teenagers. Regarding the public health service, it is good for children. But for adults there is a color-coded classification of health problems that can wait and others that cannot.
As a European living in Brasil ( in a rough city when it comes to robbing you for your money, mobile phone with a gun ….has that happen to me and my wife after a year but we did not give anything to them )…for me I can’t compare: Brasil is all year warm up Northeast which is absolutely amazing weather, the people all over Brasil are super friendly, food healthy and amazing taste, gorgeous country, gasoline €0,90, acomodation way cheaper and higher quality with pool, etc in the condominiums! Schools I do private online and pay $9000 per year for 3 kids because the public are too noisy and rough I heard, so they do activities outside school which is amazing…Brasil is very organized with great health care!! I think if I take out the violence which actually is all over the world all in all, I don’t think for me I could live in a happier, fun place!! The culture overall and people is amazing❤️🇧🇷
@@AdorableUrban João Pessoa. Já ouviu sobre a Região Sul do Brasil? Um lugar maravilhoso. Muitos Estrangeiros principalmente de Países Frios Vão pra lá devido o Clima. São formados por colônias de vários países dentro do Brasil. E até 🌨 Neva. Tranquilo e socegado.
Hi Rebecca, nice video, and a nice channel you have! I’m Norwegian and moved to Brazil about 18 years ago. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I would like to comment about one thing you said that I don’t really agree on. Moving to Brazil to make serious money is absolutely possible. In fact there are so many possibilities to make serious money in Brazil if you can handle the bureaucracy and make the effort to learn some Portuguese. Also, you need to have some knowledge of business or real estate and a starting capital to invest of course. However, most people, with some cash in hand and some patience to do some research can make a lot of money in Brazil. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on your channel and of course on your adventures in Brazil!
I agree. I’ve made a ton of money in Brazil and I came with only 170 dollars back in 2005. I have an apartment both here and in Colombia. I spend most of my time on the beach and work roughly 30 hours a month.

My children and I first moved back to Brazil during the pandemics. We were in Itacare Bahia for a year and then came to Sao Paulo. We loved both. We went back to the Caribbean and are back in SP now. Overall our lives are great here
I'm originally from Afghanistan but live in Brazil about two months Brazilian and Brazil is amazing 🤩 Hope to learn as soon as possible the Portuguese 💪💪
Sério mesmo cara ? Q legal hein grava um vídeo contando a tua história, eu nunca ouvi falar de um imigrante do Afeganistão no Brasil, é muito raro de se ver.
Hey Rebecca! Usually, mostly Brazilians that never left the county would complain about sus. I've already lived in America and now Australia for yeas as a Brazilian I'd say Brazil is great in many aspects but lack in others hence why lots of Brazilians try to go abroad when they can. Seeing those videos lately and making me appreciate every day a little bit more this place we cal home. I wish you guys have the best life there. Very cute the video with the boys trying Brazilian snacks. Keep it up!
This is a fascinating topic! I’m Brazilian and have been living in Europe for nearly 15 years (13 years in England and now in Sweden). My wife is Swedish, and she loves Brazil. We've given a lot of thought to life in general, and we believe that Brazil offers much more happiness than Sweden, especially considering the incredible weather (which, unfortunately, is often terrible here in Sweden). However, the one thing that makes us hesitant about moving to Brazil is the crime rate. I know that many smaller cities, particularly in the southern part of Brazil, are quite safe and well-developed. But we are drawn to the Northeast-specifically Natal or João Pessoa-because of the beautiful beaches, warm and welcoming people, and rich culture. The challenge is that Northeastern Brazil faces several issues, such as poor infrastructure, higher crime rates, fewer job opportunities, and a weaker healthcare system compared to other parts of the country. So, we find ourselves weighing the choice between staying in Sweden, where life is stable but not as fulfilling, or taking a chance on moving to Brazil and seeing how things turn out.
Brazil, like the US, is huge, many cultures within one country. Living in the Northeast, South and/or Southeast for example can be completely different. I recommend the city of João Pessoa - PB, which is a capital, to try to see if the person will get used to the customs, environment and day-to-day life in Brazil.
@@serafinacosta7118 Ceará has the best public education in the country, while Rio de Janeiro has the worst public healthcare. Your statement doesn't align with the public data on education and healthcare. As I mentioned, all states have their problems and advantages. Public safety is also another factor that varies greatly from state to state. My recommendation is: go, experience it, and form your own opinion.
@@WallaceAnderson Ceará might be an outlier. And let’s not forget this might apply to large municipalities. Most other northeast states do not stack well against Southetn States on public health and education.
Thank you so much for the wonderful videos. I am from Galway and my plan for next year is to move to Araguaina in the state of Tocantins Brazil in my retirement. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos
I recommend to watch AWlifestyle. He is a british man who moved to Brazil almost 10 years ago in his retirement. First he moved near to Tocantis but now he is living in the south of Brazil(Santa Catarina)
Tocantins é um estado do Brasil muito quente, esse estado era território do estado de Goiás então foi dividido e criando o estado de Tocantins no Centro Oeste do Brasil.
I've heard that brazil is better socially. But not economically. So it's all about priorities. A lot of people prefer to be socially happy. Once they realize money doesn't necessarily give them the fulfillment they need.
there is plenty of opportunities here. Much of what you see on the internationl media about Brazil is some sort of crooked reality to allign with that country's vision for Brazil. If you are getting your information about us from US media, or EU media, you'll probably have a painted picture exclusively of poverty and corruption. But it's not that bad at all, like they are selling it to you. Many people live good lives here, and there is much more to that "social" aspect than it meets the eye. It's not simply about getting along and being cheerful, etc... It's about the culture of friendship, aid, and care.
Seja bem vindo ao Brasil. E acredito que fez uma boa decisão se mudar primeiro mais ao interior, do que as Cidades maiores e Capitais, o Interior em sua grande extensão são mais calmo e tranquilo, na minha opinião.
Brazil has dozens of great options to foreigners to live here. Personally, I think if a foreigner have some right monthly wage, he or she needed to think about living a small town because some things in the town are easier than in the big cities. Some cities in all South Brazilian, Sao Paulo, Rio and where I have lived, Espírito Santo, there are a lot of cities in mountains. Som of them are located "next" to the sea. By car I take an hour from my city to the beach.
I know a few Brazillians from ES. Vitoria seems pretty. Is it an expensive place to live? If i ever move to Brazil, I would only do so if i live close to the ocean
My wife and daughter are both Brazilian. I married my wife in Brazil and we stayed there as a married couple for 7 years. We left during COVID because things were falling apart there. But now we think aout going back. We miss it a lot. My question for you is: what do you guys do for work? How do you make a living to afford to live there? I have been looking for ways to make money from the outside of Brazil while still living in Brazil but have a hard time. Thanks!
Be local, enterprise local. There are a lot on unment opportunities if you do your own homework. I mean, given the import duties , there is plenty out there you can make that will cost an arm and a leg to be imported outright. I can go on and on. Just make sure you research the addressable market, do your field research , start on a small scale. And stay in a geographic area with a decent customer base with decent mean disposable income , which means , no beach towns , no far back in the woods. Every day I stumble upon a lack of this and that, every day I figured why it might not work.
Existem diversas formas de ganhar dinheiro no Brasil , se for empreendedor por atuar em diversos ramos ,, comércio , transporte , compra e venda de imóveis ou veículos prestação de serviço , seguros ou se tiver uma reserva , pode viver dos juros do rendimento.
Brazil is an amazing place to live, whether a family has children or not. There are, for example, thousands of missionaries from the U.S. who came to Brazil, where they lived in neighborhoods not rich, middle class or even lower social class and I have NEVER heard a report of these missionaries (from U.S.) complaining about something bad that has happened to their children. What can be seen is that many of these children of missionaries, when adults, want to return to Brazil and not lose the connection. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to "complain" about the sea air in coastal cities in Brazil, as this depends on EACH type of beach, the local climate and care with belongings. It is possible for someone has an apartment/house on the North or South Coast of São Paulo State and they have NEVER had problems with "mold", "rust" or "humidity". This depends only on the care someone has with furniture and objects. In new york, for example, a persistent infestation of bed bugs is known, which drives away many tourists who come into contact with the local pest when traveling there (new york). In addition to places in that city (new york) that you cannot go at certain times of the day and night. It's been a few years now that I've been following news from newspapers, cases that are on TV and North american blogs about violence in the U.S. where there are brutal and violent crimes that happen in small towns as well as in bigger cities in that country (U.S.). It's just that people of so-called "developed" countries economically PREFER to stereotype and label OTHER countries, not the U.S., where (U.S.), let's face it, drug use is the rule, not the exception (what kind of example did these former presidents of the U.S. set the youth there?). In fact, some U.S. presidents admitted that they used drugs in their youth in media interviews and autobiography (I have NEVER knew a president of any Latin American country say something absurd like that!!!). In addition, I've seen here on this digital platform foreign vloggers (tourists) who visit Brazil and praise the Brazilian health system (free and universal, paid for by taxes) when they need hospital care or medication!!! Unfortunately, there are still Brazilians and foreigners who label and stereotype Brazil and some other Latin American countries for one or another bad experience they had, forgetting how rich the country (Brazil) is in LANDSCAPES, MUSIC, CULTURE, FOLKLORE, FOOD , GOOD CITIES, HUMAN RECEPTION, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, and support from SOCIAL SERVICES, among many other things and positive points - the reality of the world and the horizon of hope has already SHOWED that there are incredible and better countries, really better, than the U.S.!!! There, U.S., as in any other country around the world, there are positive and negative aspects of everyday life...!!! Everyone makes their dream of your own place.
I know a lot of people who made millions in Brazil with property and in the hospitality industry, specially in the northeast where tourism really goes up a level. It really depends on the individual.
Hi Rebecca, I'm Irish as well and planning to move to Brazil for family reasons, my son was born and lives there with his Mam. Would be interested to know more about some of things you mentioned in the video like the visa process before and after you arrived there? How long was the process of setting up accounts/ID/paperwork before you got settled? And how is it now for you after more than a year of living there? Would you have any advice for a new mover? Thanks, appreciate your video!
Hi Rebecca, thanks for the video. It would be great to hear more about the naturalisation/visa process you went through. My wife and I are in a similar position, I'm British and my wife is Brazilian and we live in the UK with two young children. Any further advice or tips you could provide would be really appreciated. Look forward to the next video. Obrigado.
@@rebeccahitchcock Is it really? would you mind sharing your thoughts or making an updated video on it? I was considering leaving London to head to Brazil for a few months with potential of an extended stay.
@@dean8147 please check OUT Brazil. Because many have left UK for a reason. AND Checkout Paraguay and Peru . Are u a digital nomad/ expat. Do u have money on the side?
SUS: the quality depends on the city - and even the neighborhood - when it comes to immediate care. If you live in a richer city and especially in a middle or upper class neighborhood, it's much better. But, regarding specialists, you're in the best of the worlds, unless you compare it to very expensive health insurance plans, those that include Albert Einstein or Sírio-Libanês Hospital (in São Paulo, I mean), as our public hsopitals have doctors from the top universities in the country.
If you want a place here in Brazil with low prices, security and a high HDI, come to the south of Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina, it's a great place to live!
It has gotten expensive as far as real estate , given the influx of American expats. Seek elsewhere in less heralded towns. And beware coastline development on unspoiled beachfronts. While laws might not prevent outright ownership ( free and clear ) , it prevents you from building if the area is not thickly settled. Specially if there is native vegetation . The Federal Government is using prosecutorial powers to go after three illegal settlements through the MPF. There are a few cases under docket already.
O Brasil tem muitos problemas, mas também tem muitas coisas boas, um bom clima, Alimentação ( Frutas e variedades de alimentos), temos tecnologia de ponta em várias áreas, mas o melhor do Brasil é o seu povo ,em sua maioria hospitaleiros , amigáveis, ajudadores etc, acho que todas as pessoas do mundo tinham que morar um ano no Brasil, nosso estilo de vida é que mesmo em meio as dificuldades, a falta de grana e outras coisas, ainda seguimos em frente. Nossa qualidade de vida e viver a vida

Thanks for the video and all the information! So are you learning portuguese after or before you moved there? And do you find any difficulties in communicating with others after moving to a new country? Btw boa sorte no Brasil e aproveitar :)
So I had already learned some Portuguese before moving, have picked up most living here. The people are so kind in patient with me when I’m unsure how to say something ❤
I now exactly what's you filling about quality of live , I Brazilian but leaving in Ireland since 2002 and will have a dream to end my life in Brazil 🇧🇷 I deserve success
Rebecca be careful with the so called "mongrels", Brazilians who love to complain and say terrible things about their own country to foreigners. Don't let them contaminate your mind and feelings. If you ask them, they say everywhere in the world is better to live than Brazil, even Ukraine. Keep a positive attitude and things will work great.
I agree with you. I see many opinions generalizing Brazil. talking about education, which is bad, and the SUS. I'm living proof that public education depends on the place and the city, it doesn't lose to private school, another thing, I get everything through SUS, exams, appointments, medicine and even a dentist. But I know this is not true everywhere.
Don't you dare to speak about Ukraine in such a tone. Ukraine is a really nice country, and we are not to blame for having mad nazi as a neighbor. At least, all of our people know how to read and to write, we have no favelas and we don't have such high ratings of teen pregnancies. And our country is functioning despite the war. So tell me, why does peaceful and nice Brasil has such awful level of poverty and illiteracy?

From personal experience: Moving to a new country is difficult. But it can be a good thing to do when you're at a good place and time in your life, you're open to new experiences and adventures. That's why most people move when they're young and free of baggage; not sure how it will be for someone with the added stresses of having small children with learning disabilities. Knowing the language and customs before moving will make it easier to adjust. Otherwise, the culture shock will be too much. And that's why so many don't make it. Be realistic. It may not be much of difficulty if your husband is well off. Or you will risk becoming disgruntled. It'd be good to hear you speak Portuguese. By now you and your children, should be fluent. Good luck!
Yes if my children had learning difficulties I don’t think we would have moved, we are fortunate to not have that obstacle. No I’m not fluent after 4 months, but I have a good grasp of the language. I don’t think there’s a deadline by which someone should be fluent. Things that may be a challenge for you may not be for another. So far we are not going anywhere 😊
SUS is not the same in the whole country in same regions, states, towns and citities, it works in a different ways. Fortunately in my town (in the countryside of Minas Gerais it is good), my mother has diabetes then she has all de medicine, insuline, glucometer, the needle, from SUS, her diabetes is under control thanks the SUS program . The public dentist it woks pretty well in my town as well.
I will never put down SUS because when I developed a heart arrhythmia and my son super Ill we received treatment straight away.:. And as an Irish person that’s unheard of in Ireland
Hey, I am diabetic. She can fix it if it's type 2 with carnivor diet. She needs to stop eating carbohydrates and sugars and slowly she will not need insulin.
I am Brazilian living in Ireland for the past 26 years 😀😃. Please enjoy the fresh food, weather, the health system for me 😘🤗😘. It is a beautiful country. Have you tried pão de queijo? Pastel? Caldo de cana? It would be lovely if you made a vídeo in Portuguese. The Brazilians will love you even more 😂 and lots would follow you. 😉
In 2007 we moved to Brazil. Me, a Brazilian, and my wife and children US citizens. In the beginning, the first year, all was great, all was beautiful. We lived a an upscale beach semi-private place called Riviera de São Lourenço, near Bertioga. As we moved there during the winter all was fine. Then came summer, when the place went from zero to one hundred. Traffic, crowds, and children driving around the place in their daddy`s Mercedes, because I found out the rich in Brazil believe they have more rights than the law dictates. In addition, I found out my teenagers were skipping our house after we went to bed to attend the many beach parties and gatherings with other teenagers, where boose and some drugs were plenty. That and the furious rust that attacked our belongings, as well as mold attacking our clothes, made me decide to move to Serra Negra, a small city up in the hills of São Paulo state. After one and a half years in the small town, fed up with the way people behaved, with the Brazilian bureaucracy that made everything difficult, with how hard it was to protect our children from eventual stuff, we just packed up and moved back to the US.
I live in the netherlands , my wife is from Salvador Bahia , my wife arranged my rights in Brazil being married . Might look for holiday house .No permanent stay , just few months or less. 5:28
São Paulo , particularly in the Greater São Paulo, and Campinas is fine. Greater ABC region excells at it. There are programs addressed for this condition. ABC means Santo André , São Bernardo , São Caetano. Add Campinas , Ribeirão Preto , São José dos Campos , Taubate , São José dos Campos, and Curitiba -PR to your destination; list.
Me again. I noticed the barbed wire on top of your wal, something that we don`t really see in the US, except in prisons. Is it common in Ireland? If not, how do you feel about it?
No pretty non existent in Ireland, it doesn’t make me feel any way to be honest. It’s everywhere here so sometimes we just need to adjust to the local norms. And anything that adds security can’t be bad right? 😊
She lives in a condominium with private security. Barbed wire is seen in condominium houses sometimes when the walls divide the garden and the regular streets outside of the gated area. It’s very unusual for houses to have that inside of the condominium
Hey Rebecca I’m currently 16 nearly 17 but very soon maybe when I’m 18 or 19 years old I wanna move over to Brazil basically to enjoy life and also play my football over their and basically I just wanted idk just advice because I’m really Keane on moving to Brazil
Hi, how are you? My name is Lashgar, and I am also thinking about living in Brazil. It is a wonderful country and you will find a variety of nationalities from the world.
does anyone know if being married to a brazilian allows me to do the resicence process in brazil without having to come back to the uk? or if I must do it before traveling to brazil?
You don’t need to go back if you are married but it’s sometimes a lot easier in your country (Uk) than in Brazil. The bureaucracy in Brazil can take forever. You can get Brazilian citizenship if you live in the country for, at least, 4 years under residence authorization for an indefinite term (permanent residency). But if you are married to a Brazilian citizen or have Brazilian offspring, then the 4 years fall for 1 year living in the country with permanent residency. Also, if you are from a Portuguese-speaking country, the time might fall to 1 year too.
Thousands of Europeans have moved to southern Brazil in recent years, ua-cam.com/video/2o6EMSHuVPQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ROme-TlCc9JMkwMP generally to Santa Catarina. There are places in Brazil that are safer than Paris, Rome, Berlin, etc.
Thanks you so much! I Wish u all the best! I ask you a thing for my coysin; If a girl or a woman would like to live in Brazil forever and She is alone,no support there would you encourage her more to come or not? As you told It depends so I ve told you well her situation thanks,safe condominiums where can be found?, are the means of teansport good nd safe? The food Is genuine?,Is It easy for a girl or a woman to find a steady job in Brazil? I mean every kind of job? The salaries are generally lower than in Europe? And the lifecosting high? Thanks!
Olá respondendo a sua pergunta. A segurança depende de cada cidade , há cidades mais ou menos seguras .Moro em uma cidade de 600mil habitantes no interior do Estados de Minas gerais muito segura. Sobre o salários vai depender de sua formação profissional , mas vc como falante do Inglês já possui uma vantagem , além de poder trabalhar até mesmo de casa , criando um curso de inglês ou trabalhando On LINE . Os estados de Minas Gerais , Espírito Santo Santa Catarina , Mato Grosso , Goiás Paraná , Rio Grande do Sul , são bem seguros . Venha a turismo passar uma temporada para conhecer e quem sabe
I'm Irish and will retire to Brazil , I've been going there for work for years - am happier with the private healthcare, weather cost of living in Brazil than Ireland /Europe
I'm thinking of moving furniture to Brazil from the United States in Southern California area I'm mostly do it for my retirement so I like to know about the banking system in Brazil so I can gain access to my retirement income from the United States I know that Citibank here in the US has international banking in Panama I was also wondering if there's a Citibank in Brazil so I could transfer my retirement income to.

Unless you are married or have a significant business/large bank acc it’s very hard to get a visa to Brazil. When we were moving to Brazil we learned very quickly that moving a lot to furniture… IE a shipping container is wayyyyyy more expensive than selling your stuff and rebuying in Brazil.
HEY, BRASIL has many high quality factories that build all kinds of furniture, mostly in the south. ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to bring your old stuff, you are starting a new life, buy NEW stuff here for less than it cost in the US,,,, BAD IDEA. AS for money transferring, just have deposits made into your US account and WISE it to your bank in Brasil. Using an ATM, you will lose a lot of money with the exchange rate and fees. VERY FEW Citibank offices here, have only seen them in Sao Paulo, not convenient if you live elsewhere. You will use your BR bank debit card for everything
Citibank in Brazil is NOT connected to CitiBank in the US. It will get you any advantages. Just western Union yourself money or get a Wise card. Plus, shipping your things will be a nightmare, things just don’t work so easy in Brazil
Citi sold its Brazilian operation to Banco Itaú. The closest you have to a multinational bank is Santander . As an American citizen you are entitled to a direct fund transfer. Oddly enough, the paperwork is processed in Portugal.
What did you and your husband do about work when moving to Brazil? Does your husband work remotely for a company in Ireland or did he find a job there in Brazil?
Decent and varies on a state by state, town by town. Reason being , how resources are managed and how towns suplement delivered quality on their own. Also, the presence of non profit organizations creates a huge impact.

For those lifestyle beachcomber greenhorns fresh out of the boat dreaming of a beachfront property… Beware of coastline development on unspoiled beachfronts. While laws might not prevent outright ownership ( free and clear ) , it prevents you from building if the area is not thickly settled. Specially if there is native vegetation . The Federal Government is using prosecutorial powers to go after three illegal settlements through the MPF. There are a few cases under docket already. A sand beach, mangroves , and a setback with brush vegetation should be a tell tale sign. There were reported environmental disasters on these rich folk enclaves where properties adjacent to hills were landslide ( Sao Sebastião , SP as a prime example ). There are plenty inescrupulous Real Estate Brokers who can gang up with notaries and validate illegal dream real estate developments . In seeking coastline regions, settle only for thickly developed and grantfathered development rights.
Listen, about safety. Brazil has 5,500 cities. And only cities which have more than 1 million people have relatively bigger safety problems. There are about 15 cities in Brazil that fit in that category. And Brazil has 41 cities with between 500 thousand and one million people and Brazil has 278 cities between one hundred thousand and five hundred thousand inhabitants. Adding these cities up you have 348 cities, meaning that 5,166 cities in Brazil have less than one hundred thousand people. As a whole, Brazil is a very safe country and in cities ranging from one hundred thousand to 1 mllion people the safety is kept under a satisfactory level. In cities that have more than one million inhabitants, this issue depends essentially on who governs that given city. Cities in Brazil that have always been more conservative, like the biggest city in the Western hemisphere, São Paulo, that has 20 million people, the level of safety is better than the level of safety of Rio de Janeiro which is our second biggest city, but Rio de Janeiro has about 8 million people. So São Paulo which has more than 3 times the population of Rio is far safer than Rio. And why is that? It is because Rio has been governed for the past 50 years by left-wing politicians whereas the city of São Paulo has been traditionally governed by right-wing, conservative politicians. What is the difference? Well, the difference is that the police in São Paulo tend to fight crime and shoot criminals, while the police in Rio de Janeiro protects them, "because they are victims of our burgeous, capitalist and imperialist society". In numbers, this means that the city of São Paulo has about 8 murders per every one hundred thousand people per year, whereas Rio de Janeiro, that has 3 times less population than São Paulo, has 30 murders per every one hundred thousand people. Even though this might look shocking at first glance, the fact is that Philadelphia and Chicago, in the US, both cities that combined must have the same population of Rio de Janeiro, they have the same murder rate, i.e., believe it or not, 37 murders per every 100 thousand people. So, the most violent city of Brazil, by far, Rio de Janeiro, is relatively safer than Philadelphia and Chicago! Now, I live in a city that has 10 thousand inhabitants, and the last murder that happened in my city took place in the year of 1960, because John Do got his wife in bed with the next door neighbor and shot them both. And this episode is still provoking shivers in the population. In my city the great safety problem is how to deal with the foxes. They are incorregible chicken robbers and no matter how much effort the local police spends in trying to arrest those miscreants, they seem to be far smarter than our local police...
O problema do brasileiro é que somos PÉSSIMOS em promover o país para estrangeiros, então todos acham que isso aqui é um imenso Rio de Janeiro e o resto é só mato (Floresta Amazônica). O Rio é bom para os turistas que ficam uma semana na cidade, na zona sul, e depois vão embora. Aquela cidade chegou num ponto de não retorno. É insalubre viver lá, assim como é em Detroit e Oakland, por exemplo. O interior do Brasil, onde eu moro, é extremamente pacífico, nunca fui assaltado e me sinto bastante seguro, mas isso as redes de TV não mostram.
Para dizer a verdade, cheguei a conclusão que ser péssimo em propaganda é bom. A propaganda é seguida por aumento de custo de vida e especulação imobiliária. Isso quando não começam a vir os "mohamed" querendo impor sua forma de vida, fazer merda como estão fazendo na Europa. Já temos problemas o suficiente.

Hi! My name is Carlos. I'm Brazilian, from São Luís - Maranhão. Welcome to Brazil. Your history is very beaultfull(and you too). I will subscribe in your channel. Tell me how is my english!
I don’t think that because of the safety measures they take in condominiums, makes Brazil bad. I have not experienced any hostility of any kind, I can honestly say I’ve only encountered genuine lovely people
Some fellow Brazilians says "don't come to Brazil" because they always think 'the grass is greener' on the other side and don't realize how amazing and blessed they are to live in a country like Brazil, despite all of its flaws (and there are some). I'm Brazilian and i absolutely love my country! Welcome to Brazil!
I’m from California, worked as a CT tech in a Regional Trauma Center. Me and my wife are in our late 50s. Living in São Paulo. We pay for private Healthcare through Prevent Senior for 1/3 the cost we would pay for an HMO in California, but you don’t get three times better care in the US. I’m impressed with the delivery of care through Prevent Senior. I’m impressed with the facilities. I’m in love with the doctors. Far more empathetic than counterparts in the US. Wait times for routine exams can take 1 or 2 months, but if you plan ahead it’s no big deal. Now I can’t speak for the rest of the country.
Só daria a dica pra pular fora da Prevent Senior.... tem coisa melhor no mercado. Até o Sus é mais seguor
Anyone who has to wait months and years for surgery and appointments in Canada's "free" health care system, will appreciate how good and efficient a two-tier system really is...
What do you mean? Is their health care bad? I know nothing about Canada, so i would love to understand their reality.
I am leaving the UK to live in Brazil in 4 months with my Brazilian wife, so thank you for this information.
Best of luck! Im sure you will love it once you've had time to adjust!

U BLESSED. Congratulations. How's it going? Are your children going school/Collegel there?
"SUS isn't good" said the Brazilian who never had experience with health care in other countries. My father had cancer, it was very bad and we had the best treatment ever and I say "we" because they offered psychological support from the hospital to the family. His situation it was very critical, his oncologist would stop by his bed time to time just to chat with my dad and make him laugh. It's impossible to put into words how grateful I am to that doctor.
The system is great, some doctors can be shitty but not the system. I live in The Netherlands now and here we do not even the option of private doctors and the system I'm facing...
I hope you don’t think I’m putting SUS down, because I’m not, compared to Ireland a supposedly “1st world country” our health care system is so SO terrible you have no idea. I received the best healthcare in Brazil
here in Belo Horizonte, the SUS works very well. I get everything through SUS. I just have to thank you, there's even a free dentist.
being only free, I can only thank this system.
Sus is not bad. It just not work at all. Only if you have a ton of luck, have ties to a politician or you are famous. Tip: don't get hurt in Brazil if you not have a health insurance.
@@rebeccahitchcock Rebecca you should put SUS down there is a brainwashing over how good SUS actually, it is simply like a butchery, a horror shown no one should ever be part of .

I am Brazilian. My family came from Portugal many centuries ago and we were farmers, especially coffee farmers. When my grandfather died, the family split up and each of my uncles went to different places in search of a new life away from the farm. So I lived in Bahia when I was a child, then I lived in São Paulo and when I was 11 years old I lived in the Leblon neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Today I live in Brasília, Águas Claras and I am a retired health worker from the SUS.
What can I say to all the foreigners? There are several Brazils in one Brazil. Let's start by talking about the poor regions, which are the Northeast and the North. The South region is the richest, most organized, with better schools, a good level of education and public services. The reason is that in the 18th century Brazil encouraged the arrival of foreign settlers because the Earth is continental in size. You can't compare some places that have an excellent quality of life and are in the South Region, such as Balneário de Camboriu, Florianópolis, Ilha do Mel, etc. The Brazilian Northeast region was tied to sugarcane production, sugar mills and everything that was backward for a long time, and for this reason, it became a poor region. The capitals of the Northeastern states are violent and dangerous. The Southeast region is made up of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and other states. The fact is that the capital of Brazil was Rio de Janeiro for a while, but in 1960 it was strategically transferred to the center of Brazil, because the country is huge and needed to keep a capital in the center. So, in an architects' competition, the capital was created called Brasília/Federal District, which has a good quality of life. My experience with Rio de Janeiro was living in a good neighborhood, but not being able to walk down the street without being mugged and the place is very violent, and I will explain why. Geographically, Rio de Janeiro is surrounded by hills and the high rent prices forced migrants from the Northeast region, who migrated to Rio de Janeiro, to live in places that were initially uninhabited, such as the hills. There, the poor workers lived in zinc houses, which were later moved to brick houses, but without any infrastructure. With the increase in migration, millions of favelas, as these very poor houses are called, emerged. The middle class, the children of the middle class, used drugs a lot to have fun and a small number of favela residents saw drug sales as a way to survive. This led to violence, because drug trafficking brings violence and is linked to robberies, armed robberies in the streets, at any time, and shootouts with the police or between rival drug trafficking groups. After I moved from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, when I was 11 years old, I was mugged several times and when I left Rio de Janeiro for Brasília/DF, I went through a period of adaptation because I was very suspicious walking on the streets and driving a car and I had to adapt to the calm of Brasília and I gradually lost the insomnia of having lived in Rio de Janeiro, a violent place due to these contradictions or conflicts between social classes.
I currently still live in Brasília, DF, and you should be very careful when choosing the state you are going to live in. I believe that those of us who have studied, who have invested a lot in our studies and education, want to live well and living in a condominium is better, but as long as it is in a good region, with quality of life, people who think the same in terms of fighting to be in a peaceful environment, with different people who think like you and want to educate their children. I have 4 children, 1 engineer, two dentists and a 3-year-old girl, because I love having children in the house. The quality of life, even here in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, has changed because the Brazilian Northeast region, due to the lack of opportunities to keep the people from the Northeast there, brought about the sprawl of Brasília. If before we used to walk down the street without any problems, nowadays we live only from home to work and to the condominium, taking care to know where we are going and at what time, to avoid any dangerous situations. But if you are careful and live in a condominium, there is no danger of crime here, as is the case in some good cities in the South Region. But I have that saying that to live well, we have to pay to be in a good condominium. The same goes for schools; the quality of public schools in Brazil has fallen for decades and currently the best schools are private ones, and then there are the costs with tuition, materials, tutoring, transportation, etc. But private schools are better, the level of education is better than public schools. The latter has fallen in quality and still has overcrowded classrooms with students, on average 40 to 60 students, and this overcrowding makes it impossible to teach children and teenagers. Regarding the public health service, it is good for children. But for adults there is a color-coded classification of health problems that can wait and others that cannot.
As a European living in Brasil ( in a rough city when it comes to robbing you for your money, mobile phone with a gun ….has that happen to me and my wife after a year but we did not give anything to them )…for me I can’t compare: Brasil is all year warm up Northeast which is absolutely amazing weather, the people all over Brasil are super friendly, food healthy and amazing taste, gorgeous country, gasoline €0,90, acomodation way cheaper and higher quality with pool, etc in the condominiums! Schools I do private online and pay $9000 per year for 3 kids because the public are too noisy and rough I heard, so they do activities outside school which is amazing…Brasil is very organized with great health care!! I think if I take out the violence which actually is all over the world all in all, I don’t think for me I could live in a happier, fun place!! The culture overall and people is amazing❤️🇧🇷

Hi Rebecca, nice video, and a nice channel you have! I’m Norwegian and moved to Brazil about 18 years ago. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I would like to comment about one thing you said that I don’t really agree on. Moving to Brazil to make serious money is absolutely possible. In fact there are so many possibilities to make serious money in Brazil if you can handle the bureaucracy and make the effort to learn some Portuguese. Also, you need to have some knowledge of business or real estate and a starting capital to invest of course. However, most people, with some cash in hand and some patience to do some research can make a lot of money in Brazil.
Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on your channel and of course on your adventures in Brazil!
That’s interesting, thanks for sharing your opinion!
@@patricksweeney5308depends on what you are looking to do.
I agree. I’ve made a ton of money in Brazil and I came with only 170 dollars back in 2005. I have an apartment both here and in Colombia. I spend most of my time on the beach and work roughly 30 hours a month.

Hey Rebecca! Usually, mostly Brazilians that never left the county would complain about sus. I've already lived in America and now Australia for yeas as a Brazilian I'd say Brazil is great in many aspects but lack in others hence why lots of Brazilians try to go abroad when they can.
Seeing those videos lately and making me appreciate every day a little bit more this place we cal home.
I wish you guys have the best life there. Very cute the video with the boys trying Brazilian snacks. Keep it up!
Interesting 5o hear your view in living in Brazil. Hope you post more videos talking about your experiences. Cheers!
This is a fascinating topic! I’m Brazilian and have been living in Europe for nearly 15 years (13 years in England and now in Sweden). My wife is Swedish, and she loves Brazil. We've given a lot of thought to life in general, and we believe that Brazil offers much more happiness than Sweden, especially considering the incredible weather (which, unfortunately, is often terrible here in Sweden). However, the one thing that makes us hesitant about moving to Brazil is the crime rate.
I know that many smaller cities, particularly in the southern part of Brazil, are quite safe and well-developed. But we are drawn to the Northeast-specifically Natal or João Pessoa-because of the beautiful beaches, warm and welcoming people, and rich culture. The challenge is that Northeastern Brazil faces several issues, such as poor infrastructure, higher crime rates, fewer job opportunities, and a weaker healthcare system compared to other parts of the country.
So, we find ourselves weighing the choice between staying in Sweden, where life is stable but not as fulfilling, or taking a chance on moving to Brazil and seeing how things turn out.
There are positives and negatives everywhere...that being said, I want to move to Brazil.
Brazil, like the US, is huge, many cultures within one country. Living in the Northeast, South and/or Southeast for example can be completely different. I recommend the city of João Pessoa - PB, which is a capital, to try to see if the person will get used to the customs, environment and day-to-day life in Brazil.
Public health care and education in Northeast States is substandard. Southeast States , and MidWest , are better.
@@serafinacosta7118 Ceará has the best public education in the country, while Rio de Janeiro has the worst public healthcare. Your statement doesn't align with the public data on education and healthcare. As I mentioned, all states have their problems and advantages. Public safety is also another factor that varies greatly from state to state. My recommendation is: go, experience it, and form your own opinion.
@@WallaceAnderson Ceará might be an outlier. And let’s not forget this might apply to large municipalities. Most other northeast states do not stack well against Southetn States on public health and education.
If you have already money to mantain you, Brazil is a paradise !

I've heard that brazil is better socially. But not economically. So it's all about priorities. A lot of people prefer to be socially happy. Once they realize money doesn't necessarily give them the fulfillment they need.
there is plenty of opportunities here. Much of what you see on the internationl media about Brazil is some sort of crooked reality to allign with that country's vision for Brazil. If you are getting your information about us from US media, or EU media, you'll probably have a painted picture exclusively of poverty and corruption. But it's not that bad at all, like they are selling it to you.
Many people live good lives here, and there is much more to that "social" aspect than it meets the eye. It's not simply about getting along and being cheerful, etc... It's about the culture of friendship, aid, and care.
@@mendronesg interesting !

Brazil has dozens of great options to foreigners to live here. Personally, I think if a foreigner have some right monthly wage, he or she needed to think about living a small town because some things in the town are easier than in the big cities. Some cities in all South Brazilian, Sao Paulo, Rio and where I have lived, Espírito Santo, there are a lot of cities in mountains. Som of them are located "next" to the sea. By car I take an hour from my city to the beach.
I know a few Brazillians from ES. Vitoria seems pretty. Is it an expensive place to live? If i ever move to Brazil, I would only do so if i live close to the ocean
Is it easy to find job there ?
And language, you ought to speak portuguese ?
God Bless you all Rebecca. Be well
Welcome to Brazil. I wish you be happy here!
Achei o video por acaso e amei!
My wife and daughter are both Brazilian. I married my wife in Brazil and we stayed there as a married couple for 7 years. We left during COVID because things were falling apart there. But now we think aout going back. We miss it a lot.
My question for you is: what do you guys do for work? How do you make a living to afford to live there? I have been looking for ways to make money from the outside of Brazil while still living in Brazil but have a hard time. Thanks!
Be local, enterprise local. There are a lot on unment opportunities if you do your own homework.
I mean, given the import duties , there is plenty out there you can make that will cost an arm and a leg to be imported outright. I can go on and on.
Just make sure you research the addressable market, do your field research , start on a small scale.
And stay in a geographic area with a decent customer base with decent mean disposable income , which means , no beach towns , no far back in the woods.
Every day I stumble upon a lack of this and that, every day I figured why it might not work.
Existem diversas formas de ganhar dinheiro no Brasil , se for empreendedor por atuar em diversos ramos ,, comércio , transporte , compra e venda de imóveis ou veículos prestação de serviço , seguros ou se tiver uma reserva , pode viver dos juros do rendimento.
The SUS works much better in small towns. Because in big cities, hospitals seem overwhelmed.
Brazil is an amazing place to live, whether a family has children or not. There are, for example, thousands of missionaries from the U.S. who came to Brazil, where they lived in neighborhoods not rich, middle class or even lower social class and I have NEVER heard a report of these missionaries (from U.S.) complaining about something bad that has happened to their children. What can be seen is that many of these children of missionaries, when adults, want to return to Brazil and not lose the connection. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to "complain" about the sea air in coastal cities in Brazil, as this depends on EACH type of beach, the local climate and care with belongings. It is possible for someone has an apartment/house on the North or South Coast of São Paulo State and they have NEVER had problems with "mold", "rust" or "humidity". This depends only on the care someone has with furniture and objects. In new york, for example, a persistent infestation of bed bugs is known, which drives away many tourists who come into contact with the local pest when traveling there (new york). In addition to places in that city (new york) that you cannot go at certain times of the day and night. It's been a few years now that I've been following news from newspapers, cases that are on TV and North american blogs about violence in the U.S. where there are brutal and violent crimes that happen in small towns as well as in bigger cities in that country (U.S.). It's just that people of so-called "developed" countries economically PREFER to stereotype and label OTHER countries, not the U.S., where (U.S.), let's face it, drug use is the rule, not the exception (what kind of example did these former presidents of the U.S. set the youth there?). In fact, some U.S. presidents admitted that they used drugs in their youth in media interviews and autobiography (I have NEVER knew a president of any Latin American country say something absurd like that!!!). In addition, I've seen here on this digital platform foreign vloggers (tourists) who visit Brazil and praise the Brazilian health system (free and universal, paid for by taxes) when they need hospital care or medication!!! Unfortunately, there are still Brazilians and foreigners who label and stereotype Brazil and some other Latin American countries for one or another bad experience they had, forgetting how rich the country (Brazil) is in LANDSCAPES, MUSIC, CULTURE, FOLKLORE, FOOD , GOOD CITIES, HUMAN RECEPTION, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, and support from SOCIAL SERVICES, among many other things and positive points - the reality of the world and the horizon of hope has already SHOWED that there are incredible and better countries, really better, than the U.S.!!! There, U.S., as in any other country around the world, there are positive and negative aspects of everyday life...!!! Everyone makes their dream of your own place.
I know a lot of people who made millions in Brazil with property and in the hospitality industry, specially in the northeast where tourism really goes up a level. It really depends on the individual.
And lost the shirts of their backs too. Specially in the Northeast.
Hi Rebecca, I'm Irish as well and planning to move to Brazil for family reasons, my son was born and lives there with his Mam. Would be interested to know more about some of things you mentioned in the video like the visa process before and after you arrived there? How long was the process of setting up accounts/ID/paperwork before you got settled? And how is it now for you after more than a year of living there? Would you have any advice for a new mover?

SUS: the quality depends on the city - and even the neighborhood - when it comes to immediate care. If you live in a richer city and especially in a middle or upper class neighborhood, it's much better.
But, regarding specialists, you're in the best of the worlds, unless you compare it to very expensive health insurance plans, those that include Albert Einstein or Sírio-Libanês Hospital (in São Paulo, I mean), as our public hsopitals have doctors from the top universities in the country.
If you want a place here in Brazil with low prices, security and a high HDI, come to the south of Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina, it's a great place to live!
FLORIANOPOLIS is the #1 city for migration inside Brasil
Toooooo cold
It has gotten expensive as far as real estate , given the influx of American expats. Seek elsewhere in less heralded towns.
And beware coastline development on unspoiled beachfronts. While laws might not prevent outright ownership ( free and clear ) , it prevents you from building if the area is not thickly settled. Specially if there is native vegetation .
The Federal Government is using prosecutorial powers to go after three illegal settlements through the MPF. There are a few cases under docket already.
O Brasil tem muitos problemas, mas também tem muitas coisas boas, um bom clima, Alimentação ( Frutas e variedades de alimentos), temos tecnologia de ponta em várias áreas, mas o melhor do Brasil é o seu povo ,em sua maioria hospitaleiros , amigáveis, ajudadores etc, acho que todas as pessoas do mundo tinham que morar um ano no Brasil, nosso estilo de vida é que mesmo em meio as dificuldades, a falta de grana e outras coisas, ainda seguimos em frente.

Thanks for the video and all the information!
So are you learning portuguese after or before you moved there? And do you find any difficulties in communicating with others after moving to a new country?
Btw boa sorte no Brasil e aproveitar :)
So I had already learned some Portuguese before moving, have picked up most living here. The people are so kind in patient with me when I’m unsure how to say something ❤
I now exactly what's you filling about quality of live , I Brazilian but leaving in Ireland since 2002 and will have a dream to end my life in Brazil 🇧🇷
I deserve success
AND you are living where ?
Brasil is so varied ; from snow and freezing to sweating all year in the north
Yes, you are right. I am in Aracoiaba da Serra, SP
I’m in Praia de pipa. It is beautiful here. I extended my stay through August 31st
Bem vindos ao Brasil
Viva o SUS! ❤ Hope you and your family have a great experience living here!
Hello, welcome to Brazil, I hope you have a happy and comfortable life here and that you are welcomed. Greetings from the state of Paraíba =)
Rebecca be careful with the so called "mongrels", Brazilians who love to complain and say terrible things about their own country to foreigners. Don't let them contaminate your mind and feelings. If you ask them, they say everywhere in the world is better to live than Brazil, even Ukraine. Keep a positive attitude and things will work great.
Itchy Mongrels = Bolsonaro Lovers.
So true! We grow up listening that Brazil is the worst place in the planet and most of us have to leave the country to find out that this is NOT true!
I agree with you. I see many opinions generalizing Brazil. talking about education, which is bad, and the SUS. I'm living proof that public education depends on the place and the city, it doesn't lose to private school, another thing, I get everything through SUS, exams, appointments, medicine and even a dentist. But I know this is not true everywhere.
Don't you dare to speak about Ukraine in such a tone. Ukraine is a really nice country, and we are not to blame for having mad nazi as a neighbor. At least, all of our people know how to read and to write, we have no favelas and we don't have such high ratings of teen pregnancies. And our country is functioning despite the war. So tell me, why does peaceful and nice Brasil has such awful level of poverty and illiteracy?
@@melaesther2527Meu amigo é sério que você está querendo comprar os níveis de pobreza do Brasil com Ucrânia ? O Brasil tem mais milionários que toda população da Ucrânia . O Brasil é 8° Economia do mundo a Ucrânia está em qual posição ?
A maioria parte dos brasileiros são de classe média meu amigo , vivemos bem , temos praias e mulheres lindas vivemos em paz e tranquilos .
Desejo a vocês sorte .

From personal experience: Moving to a new country is difficult. But it can be a good thing to do when you're at a good place and time in your life, you're open to new experiences and adventures. That's why most people move when they're young and free of baggage; not sure how it will be for someone with the added stresses of having small children with learning disabilities. Knowing the language and customs before moving will make it easier to adjust. Otherwise, the culture shock will be too much. And that's why so many don't make it. Be realistic.
It may not be much of difficulty if your husband is well off. Or you will risk becoming disgruntled. It'd be good to hear you speak Portuguese. By now you and your children, should be fluent. Good luck!
Yes if my children had learning difficulties I don’t think we would have moved, we are fortunate to not have that obstacle. No I’m not fluent after 4 months, but I have a good grasp of the language. I don’t think there’s a deadline by which someone should be fluent. Things that may be a challenge for you may not be for another. So far we are not going anywhere 😊
SUS is not the same in the whole country in same regions, states, towns and citities, it works in a different ways. Fortunately in my town (in the countryside of Minas Gerais it is good), my mother has diabetes then she has all de medicine, insuline, glucometer, the needle, from SUS, her diabetes is under control thanks the SUS program . The public dentist it woks pretty well in my town as well.
I will never put down SUS because when I developed a heart arrhythmia and my son super Ill we received treatment straight away.:. And as an Irish person that’s unheard of in Ireland
I'm from Belo Horizonte. I agree with you !
Hey, I am diabetic. She can fix it if it's type 2 with carnivor diet. She needs to stop eating carbohydrates and sugars and slowly she will not need insulin.
He got it right. It varies. And SUS is a work in progress. It is relatively new , from the early 90’s.
I am Brazilian living in Ireland for the past 26 years 😀😃. Please enjoy the fresh food, weather, the health system for me 😘🤗😘. It is a beautiful country. Have you tried pão de queijo? Pastel? Caldo de cana? It would be lovely if you made a vídeo in Portuguese. The Brazilians will love you even more 😂 and lots would follow you. 😉
In 2007 we moved to Brazil. Me, a Brazilian, and my wife and children US citizens.
In the beginning, the first year, all was great, all was beautiful.
We lived a an upscale beach semi-private place called Riviera de São Lourenço, near Bertioga.
As we moved there during the winter all was fine. Then came summer, when the place went from zero to one hundred. Traffic, crowds, and children driving around the place in their daddy`s Mercedes, because I found out the rich in Brazil believe they have more rights than the law dictates. In addition, I found out my teenagers were skipping our house after we went to bed to attend the many beach parties and gatherings with other teenagers, where boose and some drugs were plenty.
That and the furious rust that attacked our belongings, as well as mold attacking our clothes, made me decide to move to Serra Negra, a small city up in the hills of São Paulo state.
After one and a half years in the small town, fed up with the way people behaved, with the Brazilian bureaucracy that made everything difficult, with how hard it was to protect our children from eventual stuff, we just packed up and moved back to the US.
Thank you for sharing your story! Sorry you had such a hard time. I’m definitely apprehensive of the teenage years for sure!
Devia ter ido pro sul ou Espírito Santo.
U should have gone to non turistic cities such as Sorocaba Sp or Jundiai Sp tottaly different style and quality of life
Adeus
Deverias ter ido para o estado de Santa Catarina ( San Cat)......aqui é outro nível.De Criciúma SC Brasil
I live in the netherlands , my wife is from Salvador Bahia , my wife arranged my rights in Brazil being married . Might look for holiday house .No permanent stay , just few months or less. 5:28
I would love to hear more about autism in Brazil and what kind of services your child receives there!
I will definitely go deeper with this but please be prepared it’s not great here 😬😬
São Paulo , particularly in the Greater São Paulo, and Campinas is fine. Greater ABC region excells at it. There are programs addressed for this condition.
ABC means Santo André , São Bernardo , São Caetano. Add Campinas , Ribeirão Preto , São José dos Campos , Taubate , São José dos Campos, and Curitiba -PR to your destination; list.
And Piracicaba too.
It's a person to person experience. Some people will love, some people will not. Brazil has several safe places, health care is ok.
Me again.
I noticed the barbed wire on top of your wal, something that we don`t really see in the US, except in prisons.
Is it common in Ireland? If not, how do you feel about it?
No pretty non existent in Ireland, it doesn’t make me feel any way to be honest. It’s everywhere here so sometimes we just need to adjust to the local norms. And anything that adds security can’t be bad right? 😊
She lives in a condominium with private security. Barbed wire is seen in condominium houses sometimes when the walls divide the garden and the regular streets outside of the gated area. It’s very unusual for houses to have that inside of the condominium
Hey Rebecca I’m currently 16 nearly 17 but very soon maybe when I’m 18 or 19 years old I wanna move over to Brazil basically to enjoy life and also play my football over their and basically I just wanted idk just advice because I’m really Keane on moving to Brazil
Hi, how are you? My name is Lashgar, and I am also thinking about living in Brazil. It is a wonderful country and you will find a variety of nationalities from the world.
I am now one of your followers 😊
does anyone know if being married to a brazilian allows me to do the resicence process in brazil without having to come back to the uk? or if I must do it before traveling to brazil?
You don’t need to go back if you are married but it’s sometimes a lot easier in your country (Uk) than in Brazil. The bureaucracy in Brazil can take forever.
You can get Brazilian citizenship if you live in the country for, at least, 4 years under residence authorization for an indefinite term (permanent residency). But if you are married to a Brazilian citizen or have Brazilian offspring, then the 4 years fall for 1 year living in the country with permanent residency. Also, if you are from a Portuguese-speaking country, the time might fall to 1 year too.
Hearing the birds in the background wow.
Hey, thank you for the interesting information :)
I‘m curious, what Job do you guys have?
Lots of greetings from Germany 😚🫶
My husband is an executive chef, I’m a full time mom as I have two children on the autism spectrum x
Thousands of Europeans have moved to southern Brazil in recent years,
ua-cam.com/video/2o6EMSHuVPQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ROme-TlCc9JMkwMP
generally to Santa Catarina. There are places in Brazil that are safer than Paris, Rome, Berlin, etc.
Thanks you so much! I Wish u all the best! I ask you a thing for my coysin; If a girl or a woman would like to live in Brazil forever and She is alone,no support there would you encourage her more to come or not? As you told It depends so I ve told you well her situation thanks,safe condominiums where can be found?, are the means of teansport good nd safe? The food Is genuine?,Is It easy for a girl or a woman to find a steady job in Brazil? I mean every kind of job? The salaries are generally lower than in Europe? And the lifecosting high? Thanks!
Olá respondendo a sua pergunta.
A segurança depende de cada cidade , há cidades mais ou menos seguras .Moro em uma cidade de 600mil habitantes no interior do Estados de Minas gerais muito segura.
Sobre o salários vai depender de sua formação profissional , mas vc como falante do Inglês já possui uma vantagem , além de poder trabalhar até mesmo de casa , criando um curso de inglês ou trabalhando On LINE .
Os estados de Minas Gerais , Espírito Santo Santa Catarina , Mato Grosso , Goiás Paraná , Rio Grande do Sul , são bem seguros .

I'm Irish and will retire to Brazil , I've been going there for work for years - am happier with the private healthcare, weather cost of living in Brazil than Ireland /Europe
I'm thinking of moving furniture to Brazil from the United States in Southern California area I'm mostly do it for my retirement so I like to know about the banking system in Brazil so I can gain access to my retirement income from the United States I know that Citibank here in the US has international banking in Panama I was also wondering if there's a Citibank in Brazil so I could transfer my retirement income to. Also I like to know is there a mailing system can Brazil in case I need mail sent from United States to me and Brazil can I receive mail and what documents do I need put in for a 6 month or longer to live in Brazil please make videos on these subjects have be most please
Unless you are married or have a significant business/large bank acc it’s very hard to get a visa to Brazil. When we were moving to Brazil we learned very quickly that moving a lot to furniture… IE a shipping container is wayyyyyy more expensive than selling your stuff and rebuying in Brazil.
HEY, BRASIL has many high quality factories that build all kinds of furniture, mostly in the south. ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to bring your old stuff, you are starting a new life, buy NEW stuff here for less than it cost in the US,,,, BAD IDEA.
AS for money transferring, just have deposits made into your US account and WISE it to your bank in Brasil. Using an ATM, you will lose a lot of money with the exchange rate and fees. VERY FEW Citibank offices here, have only seen them in Sao Paulo, not convenient if you live elsewhere. You will use your BR bank debit card for everything
Citibank in Brazil is NOT connected to CitiBank in the US. It will get you any advantages. Just western Union yourself money or get a Wise card. Plus, shipping your things will be a nightmare, things just don’t work so easy in Brazil
Citi sold its Brazilian operation to Banco Itaú. The closest you have to a multinational bank is Santander .
As an American citizen you are entitled to a direct fund transfer. Oddly enough, the paperwork is processed in Portugal.
And sell your furniture , unless they are heirloom pieces.
I am brazilian and I couldn't live outside of a condiminium. Inside a codominium it's as safe as any other first world contry

What did you and your husband do about work when moving to Brazil? Does your husband work remotely for a company in Ireland or did he find a job there in Brazil?
My husband found work here, I work remotely.
Im brazilian but i love ireland,i was living in galway i love ireland and irish people!🍀🇧🇷🍀
And we love you too!
It is only worth it for a foreigner to live in Brazil if he has income in his country of origin.
Health care in Brazil is good, and it's going to get even better, it's a priority for the new government!

KKKKKKKKK 😂😂😂
A saúde é boa para quem pode pagar um plano de saúde, porque se depender do SUS , é rezar com muita Fé para não morrer na fila do atendimento .
Decent and varies on a state by state, town by town. Reason being , how resources are managed and how towns suplement delivered quality on their own.
Also, the presence of non profit organizations creates a huge impact.

Beware of coastline development on unspoiled beachfronts. While laws might not prevent outright ownership ( free and clear ) , it prevents you from building if the area is not thickly settled. Specially if there is native vegetation .
The Federal Government is using prosecutorial powers to go after three illegal settlements through the MPF. There are a few cases under docket already.
A sand beach, mangroves , and a setback with brush vegetation should be a tell tale sign. There were reported environmental disasters on these rich folk enclaves where properties adjacent to hills were landslide ( Sao Sebastião , SP as a prime example ).
There are plenty inescrupulous Real Estate Brokers who can gang up with notaries and validate illegal dream real estate developments .
In seeking coastline regions, settle only for thickly developed and grantfathered development rights.

Listen, about safety. Brazil has 5,500 cities. And only cities which have more than 1 million people have relatively bigger safety problems. There are about 15 cities in Brazil that fit in that category. And Brazil has 41 cities with between 500 thousand and one million people and Brazil has 278 cities between one hundred thousand and five hundred thousand inhabitants. Adding these cities up you have 348 cities, meaning that 5,166 cities in Brazil have less than one hundred thousand people.
As a whole, Brazil is a very safe country and in cities ranging from one hundred thousand to 1 mllion people the safety is kept under a satisfactory level. In cities that have more than one million inhabitants, this issue depends essentially on who governs that given city. Cities in Brazil that have always been more conservative, like the biggest city in the Western hemisphere, São Paulo, that has 20 million people, the level of safety is better than the level of safety of Rio de Janeiro which is our second biggest city, but Rio de Janeiro has about 8 million people. So São Paulo which has more than 3 times the population of Rio is far safer than Rio. And why is that? It is because Rio has been governed for the past 50 years by left-wing politicians whereas the city of São Paulo has been traditionally governed by right-wing, conservative politicians. What is the difference? Well, the difference is that the police in São Paulo tend to fight crime and shoot criminals, while the police in Rio de Janeiro protects them, "because they are victims of our burgeous, capitalist and imperialist society".
In numbers, this means that the city of São Paulo has about 8 murders per every one hundred thousand people per year, whereas Rio de Janeiro, that has 3 times less population than São Paulo, has 30 murders per every one hundred thousand people.
Even though this might look shocking at first glance, the fact is that Philadelphia and Chicago, in the US, both cities that combined must have the same population of Rio de Janeiro, they have the same murder rate, i.e., believe it or not, 37 murders per every 100 thousand people.
So, the most violent city of Brazil, by far, Rio de Janeiro, is relatively safer than Philadelphia and Chicago!
Now, I live in a city that has 10 thousand inhabitants, and the last murder that happened in my city took place in the year of 1960, because John Do got his wife in bed with the next door neighbor and shot them both. And this episode is still provoking shivers in the population. In my city the great safety problem is how to deal with the foxes. They are incorregible chicken robbers and no matter how much effort the local police spends in trying to arrest those miscreants, they seem to be far smarter than our local police...
Brazil is the best country on Earth!

O problema do brasileiro é que somos PÉSSIMOS em promover o país para estrangeiros, então todos acham que isso aqui é um imenso Rio de Janeiro e o resto é só mato (Floresta Amazônica).
O Rio é bom para os turistas que ficam uma semana na cidade, na zona sul, e depois vão embora. Aquela cidade chegou num ponto de não retorno. É insalubre viver lá, assim como é em Detroit e Oakland, por exemplo.
O interior do Brasil, onde eu moro, é extremamente pacífico, nunca fui assaltado e me sinto bastante seguro, mas isso as redes de TV não mostram.
Para dizer a verdade, cheguei a conclusão que ser péssimo em propaganda é bom. A propaganda é seguida por aumento de custo de vida e especulação imobiliária. Isso quando não começam a vir os "mohamed" querendo impor sua forma de vida, fazer merda como estão fazendo na Europa. Já temos problemas o suficiente.

O SUS que o presidente Lula implantou no Brasil melhorou o atendimento da saúde e foi uma cópia se não me engano de um sistema de saúde inglês e sim melhorou a vida de muitos brasileiros mais humildes,agora tem algumas coisas que precisa melhorar mas isso é com tempo 11:42
SUS is so good that people don't even need to see the doctor if they are in a critical condition, they die waiting for surgery.
It varies by locale. It is a state by state , and city by city case. From excellent to substandard.
