I said that it is currently Heinneken, and he said that it is the worst Dutch beer and that he does not drink it under any circumstances. As we say in Brazil, "Santo de casa não faz milagres", Something like ¨a saint in his own home does not perform miracles.

      Brazil is great for those not earning in Reais. Inflation is rising 100% in the real price tag the income is small. And well the guy in the video is living in santa Catarina. I'm living in santa Catarina also. Is the only rich state in the entire country with better paychecks. The rest of the country is broken and the crime is raising. Living in santa Catarina, Itajaí, balneário Camboriú and Itapema and Florianópolis are better than living in the rest of the country

      ​​​​​​@@ftdecastrolondonOf course general statements won't apply to every single situation. But Brazilians are very open and very interested in foreigners, on average, compared to Europeans and many parts of the US.
      Especially since it's such a huge country, most densely populated areas are very far from the borders, and the country is one of the most linguistic homogeneous in the world (I think 99.5% of 1L or 2L Portuguese speakers), so there's always some novelty in watching people speak a different language.

    I'm a Brazilian living in Stoke in the UK who misses back home so much. A lot of the points you made have really resonated with me. Santa Catarina is great, I've lived in Gravatal which is really safe and beautiful. A lot of these smaller cities are real hidden gems, if I had a UK or US pension I would definitely be looking into living towards the country side of Santa Catarina. Amazing mountains, nature, waterfalls, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world close by, plus very affordable to buy property and low cost of living. Add good free public healthcare and public safety, and the only thing to complain is the lack of nightlife in the smaller towns.

      100% would work. Bakeries are huge in Brazil and we love novelties. I recommend São Paulo. We do have French bakers in Brazil so look them up. BTW, most of the wheat on this side of the Atlantic is absolutely horrible (doesn't matter the country), so it'd be a differential if you used French flour. You can also bake your stuff and sell them at other people's shops instead of having your own. Don't listen to these other replies, they're biased against the current government.

    Moro no interior de Minas Gerais, apesar de minha cidade ser bem maior que essa, tem preços semelhantes, em menos de 1 km a partir de minha casa tem três supermercados de atacado desse formato. A qualidade de vida é muito boa, a violência é baixa. Vejo pessoas dizendo que o governo só investe no sul, isso depende da região em que moram. Aqui é muito bom.

      Veja Santana(norte) como exemplo, 92,9 mortes por 100 mil habitantes, isso é um número absurdo de alto! Ou então Camaçari(nordeste), 76,8.

    Andy, what a great location you found there to spend your life. You have a good sense of what you can get for your $ and your will to live in new place, start again. I have been to only a few parts of Santa Catarina, but I have researched a lot because I am a geography enthusiast so I love spend time checking places out. That’s why I started following you. I’m interested in this kind of lifestyle. Simple but a place with good people. Good services. Good prices. Good neighbors. A least modest city administration. And that’s it. I hate Skol. I buy beers in the R$3,00 category and I’m also satisfied. This place is about 10% cheaper than the place everyone in Goiania think it’s super cheap. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

      Most of which is the violence myth. Unfortunately we do have terrible violence statistics, but "fortunately" for tourists it's really mostly between gangs and in a country this big it's really easy not to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
      Also, the gangs are more politically conscious than people realize, many of them have legal businesses of all sorts that profit from tourism, and they are particularly concerned about not having dead tourists become international news.

      ​@InMyBrz The cost of food is too high for Brazilians.
      The average wages in the US are almost $5000 per month, while in Brazil are between $400 and $600 per month. Also, the unemployment rates in the US are around 4 to 5%, while in Brazil it's around 8%, but they don't count people that gave up finding a job, among other things, meaning the effective income of most households can be very low. Then there's the high cost of electricity, gas for cooking, fuel for cars, pos subcompact cars costing 15k dollars plus taxes, any small pos sedan costing 21k dollars, public transport being crap in most places and expensive for a family, most of the roads in most of the cities are full of potholes, some "moon craters", etc.

    I'm Brazilian by bith and recently I got my Italian passport and unfortunately my country is now in the hands of thiefs, a lot of censorship and no improvements the best way for young people between 18-30 is to get out of here, guys get a Portuguese, Italian or whatever passport you can and get out here work hard, study English, because since I was born people told me that was going to be a good place to live and that never happened. Everyone has your own reasons and some people can't just leave some thing behind like a sick parent or something like that but if you are young listen to me pls I just want your best. Nice video @Andy in South Brazil btw I like when other nationalities come to my country and like it.

    Brazil must be only criticized by Brazilians. But everyone's insights are usually welcome.

      Most locations in SC have more than one giant grocery store ; Fort Atacadista, Imperatriz, Angeloni, Brasil Atacadista, Carrefour, I personally like Carrefour the best.
      They are all over Brasil even in the north.
      Some of their stores were taken over from Walmart when they failed
      If you shop at Koch long enough you will hate the store, they plany games with prices, one day an item is r$10, tomorrow it can be r$15, that is a 50% increase.
      Their fruit section stinks, they throw the NEW box of fruit ON TOP of the old ROTTEN fruit already in the bin. Very poor employees and management. They work 6 - 10 hour days and get 1 day off

    The only problem with Brazil is that it is a cyberpunk country, literally, it is a country that does not hide its poverty or its wealth, it also throws in your face the reality that "if you are poor, it is harder to have money, but if you are rich, it is easier to generate money". Americans 🇺🇸 when they move to Brazil, they celebrate, precisely because they discover the CDB, which generates ≈1% of their monthly income safely and without losses, 250 thousand USD is 2.400-2.500USD per month, 1 million USD is 9.000-10.000USD per month. Brazil is a country where the rich get richer and the poor work like slaves for crumbs and to support a corrupt government that they themselves voted to have.
