I was in Fortaleza for a month. I really liked the people there but it's one of the most unequal cities I have visited. Outside of Meireles, Aldeota, Varjota, Dionisio Torres where the tourists and top 5% live, people are really struggling to survive with the cost of living. Also, the social class system is very strong there. The Beira Mar is so white but the further you go from the best areas the darker the skin complexion.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, inequality is noticeable in Fortaleza, especially outside the central areas. It’s an issue that affects many cities in Brazil.
I spent 3 months living in Fortaleza in 2024. There are very few Americans there. The rents around Meireles are now comparable to Florianópolis, Copa, etc. The nightlife, restaurants, and beaches are fantastic. IMO speaking Portuguese is a must as very few people speak English. Dating was on easy mode . Beira mar has one of best ciclovias in Brasil. I deeply enjoyed my time there and it remains on my list of retirement options. It is hot AF, so you need to like heat to live there permanently.
Sounds like you had a great time! I agree, the beachfront and nightlife are amazing. Learning Portuguese definitely helps in navigating daily life in Fortaleza. And i totaly agree about the ciclovia.
Brother, how are you?I saw your lot of video and in South Africa.I want to come in Brazil.I think I'm December time of January.I don't know and please.Can you send me a whatsapp number for contact
Hello, i dont recommend jobs because the wages here are low, very low... and yes there are plenty of accomodations cheap, you can find on OLX.com or vivareal.com
Finally, I was wondering why you never recommended any big or small cities in Ceara, as good option for long term stays. Besides cities in Ceara, would you recommend any other cities for long term stays in Northeast Brasil?
For long-term stays, Fortaleza is great, but I’d also recommend João Pessoa in the Northeast for its affordability and quality of life. But its not a big city as fortaleza.
Well… the problem is your health insurance would be more expensive because the age. But 1,5k i would say is enough. 1k maybe but you would have to save a lot on rent.
@@brazilian-native I live in Sao Paulo. I am a retired 66 year old USA expat. I use the free national healthcare in Brazil. And I live on less than my US social security monthly $1400
@@brazilian-native Why are people so worried about health insurance. Accident insurance yes, but other than that, people should worry about leading a healthy lifestyle, not the insurance.
To open a business in Brazil, you'll need an investor visa, which allows foreigners to live and work in the country while managing their business. You'll also need to present a business plan that demonstrates how your venture will contribute to the local economy and create jobs. Consulting an immigration lawyer can help ensure everything goes smoothly with the process.
@@brazilian-native Thank You. Chat Gpt told me "Varjota is great for food lovers and provides a safer, upscale experience." Any other areas that aren't too expensive like Aldeota we should know about? is Mucuripe any good? thanks bro
@@Black-Circle dont trust on GPT for research man LOL! Varjota is one of the most dangerous neighbourhood...mucuripe is another area not so safe... if you wanna a cheap neighbourhood with safety thats something very hard to find. But try the FATIMA neighbourhood, its a middle class too, nice neighbourdhood... out of this ... the other neighbourhood i can think that is cheap, not so safe but have a lot of utilities nearby is São gerardo.
Is the NFL popular in Brazil? I saw there was a NFL game between Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers in Sao Paolo Corinthians stadium. The US Media said the NFL teams and fans were banned from wearing green in the Corinthians stadium. But in the live game on TV many Brazilian fans and the GB Packers team were wearing green. Philadelphia Eagles usually wear Green too but wore black for the game.
The NFL is getting more popular in Brazil, but still, soccer is the main sport here. A lot of Brazilians are starting to like American football more, and games like this one help a lot to make it bigger. About the green thing, it's kind of a joke here because Corinthians has a big rivalry with Palmeiras, and Palmeiras’ color is green. So, in the Corinthians stadium, people usually say you can’t wear green, but it’s not a real rule, just something from soccer tradition. That's why maybe some people said it, but in the end, like you saw, the fans and the Packers team wore green, and it was fine. The Eagles wearing black, I think it was just their choice for this game.
Hell no, Football is NOT popular in BR. I would probably guess that less than 5% know the rules of the game & how it's played, let alone even know what it is. . .. But, it probably gained a few fans from that game tho
Hello, thanks for your video. I'm from Nigeria and will be in Brazil soon. Please will like to know if pastries business and skin care products will be profitable in Brazil. I'm a baker and I also produce skin care products.
Hello Chinonso, thank you for reaching out! Both the pastries and skincare business have good potential in Brazil. The food industry, especially for baked goods, has a strong demand, with Brazilians enjoying a wide range of pastries and snacks. If you offer unique flavors or specialize in certain types of pastries, there’s definitely room to succeed. Regarding skincare, it's a growing market, and consumers are becoming more interested in natural and high-quality products. If you bring something distinct, such as organic or specialized skincare, you can also find a niche. Both fields can be profitable, especially if you target the right audience and location. Best of luck with your journey to Brazil!
@@ChinonsoOkereke-jx7ju Yes, São Paulo is definitely a strategic place for business. It’s the financial hub of Brazil, with a strong economy and a large consumer market. Other cities to consider are Rio de Janeiro, which attracts a lot of tourism, and Florianópolis, known for its tech scene and quality of life. Belo Horizonte and Curitiba also have growing business opportunities in various sectors.
What do you think about greater Santos? (Guarujá, Praia grande, Mongaguá, Itanhaém) What about greater Itajai? (Barra Velha, Penha, balnerio cambariu, itapema) I’m looking for daily beach & surfing lifestyle in an urban area for city commodities & night life. I’m looking for a place in Latin America that offers a similar lifestyle & weather as Los Angeles/Southern California or Las Palmas De Gran Canaria. Any recommendations? Maybe you can do a video about it 😃
Hey @Giofasho, thanks for your question! The Greater Santos region, including places like Guarujá, Praia Grande, and Mongaguá, is a fantastic choice for a beach lifestyle. These spots offer great surfing opportunities and are close to São Paulo, which is perfect if you're looking for city amenities and nightlife without being too far from the ocean. Itanhaém is another great option with a more laid-back vibe but still offers the convenience of urban living nearby. Now, if you're thinking about Greater Itajaí, you'll love spots like Barra Velha, Penha, and of course, Balneário Camboriú, which is famous for its vibrant atmosphere and some of the best beaches in southern Brazil. Itapema is also a lovely place, balancing a relaxed lifestyle with a good dose of city commodities. Both regions offer a lifestyle similar to what you're looking for-sunny beaches, good surf, and urban convenience. You could definitely live comfortably here with your budget. I'd say they compare nicely with places like Southern California or Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in terms of weather and lifestyle. Maybe I could do a video diving deeper into this, thanks for the idea! 😄
Good video. However, I'll disagree on number 2, lack of high quality products. I work in product sourcing in Brazil for many foreign companies, and most of my clients agree that Brazilian products rank highly in terms of quality. This is across categories. I agree with everything else that you said though. Brazil is definitely where the outside world should be looking at.
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your perspective, especially since you work directly with sourcing. It’s good to hear that your clients recognize the quality of Brazilian products. Maybe it’s something that’s improving more in certain sectors, or just not as widely recognized yet. And yes, Brazil has a lot to offer to the world!
@@brazilian-native I have a question for you... do you perceive that English-speaking foreigners have had a growing interest in doing business with Brazil, in a general sense, over the past 3-4 years?
@@fromrio2roi I see a lot of restaurants in my city, Fortaleza, being opened by foreigners. Also, along the beach, many hotels are owned by foreigners.
@@brazilian-native I thought it was just me, but I'm glad to see that you're noticing the same thing too. Down here in the south, I've been seeing a lot of Canadians and Europeans setting up shop here. Interesting times!
Hello! It's hard to pinpoint the exact percentage, but a study from the Cervantes Institute estimated that around 4-6% of Brazilians have some proficiency in Spanish, especially in border regions or through formal education. However, it's not as common as one might think, even though Spanish and Portuguese are similar languages. Let me know if you'd like more info!
I'm Brazilian, from Rio de Janeiro. Let's go through the basics: - There are foreigners who arrive here waving passports, Stop! We like relationships with foreigners, but we prefer that in serious relationships they move to our country. Reason: Family; - We only leave our parents' house after marriage, preferably living close to them; - Sex and showing affection is normal for us.
Fuck SP, come you all to Mato Grosso bascially the brazilian texas wich is much more safiest and rich than any cities on this video; by the way i suggest Lucas do Rio Verde as a great place to live; Virtu Plusquam auro
hey man. Do you think you could do a video that offers advice for people who travel to Brazil and are staying more than 2 weeks. Like any websites better than airbnb for a one bedroom apartment for 1-3 months in brazil. Short term. or is airbnb the best way to go for foreigners. I ask because I might travel city to city...one month here one month there. is couch surfing still a thing lol
I think you can live comfortably anywhere in Brazil with a budget of 2k/mo, the difference is that in some places the rent is cheaper and the quality of living is better, like in the cities that you mentioned, but even in the most expensive places like Sao Paulo and Rio you would still be able to live with that budget with no problem
PPl in big cities pay more expensive in rent, transportation (because longer distances), services are more expensive, food many times its more expensive and the list Goes on…
Sure! Among the cities you've listed-Salto, Indaiatuba, Brusque, and Votorantim-Indaiatuba is more likely to have a significant Muslim community and mosques. It's a larger city close to major urban centers in São Paulo state, which often have more diverse populations. You might find mosques or Islamic centers there where the Muslim community gathers. It would be a good idea to check local directories or community websites for the most up-to-date information.
@@brazilian-native indaiatuba is a city of sào paulo state am I Right? Can you please make one video for the Muslim community or Muslim religion or mosque to live mostly. Do you have any real estate agent contact no who gives a good room or studio apartments
@@brazilian-nativepara quem é muçulmano o melhor seria morar na fronteira, próximo a tríplice fronteira. Em São Paulo , onde meu irmão mora , tem mesquita e uma grande comunidade muçulmana. Mas precisa ser verdadeiro, infelizmente São Paulo é infestado pela extrema direita. Então no sul do Brasil seria mais tranquilo para o cara.
Eu vi um outro comentario mais p cima perguntando sobre mulsumanos, maravilha a Europa esta sendo destruida e agora vão vir p o Brasil tbm, o Brasil ja está uma💩, se tivermos uma invasão destas pessoas vai ficar 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩!!!
I live comfortably on USA$1500 in Sao Paulo. My Brazilian husband and I visited Salto last weekend for the first time where his sister and her family lives.
