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.
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?
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 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.
