wonderful job Sly. You did it great!!! Many, many thanks!!!

God bless you Sly and thank you for the tips.

Thank you for doing this travel series on Brazil, Sly! I think it may be one of the best one's you've done so far💪🏾👍🏾

Very informative, thank you

Very informative, I always appreciate when you do these reviews.

Hey Sly! Spot on regarding your tips! Thank you for presenting the city in such a great way, not necessarily starting with the beaches but ending there where Rio life is represented at its best. Almost 20 years ago, I stayed in both Leblon and Ipanema, during the three trips I took to Rio while living in Salvador. I loved the city but always felt that something imminent would happen as it was not so safe back then, but you'd quickly would forget about it while enjoying all the city had to offer. Take it easy!

Amazing informative video, Sly! I am going to Rio for the first time for Carnival and enjoy your videos. You have a terrific oratorical speaking voice and cadence. BTW - Looooove the hotel, motel, Holiday Inn reference! Verrry Slyyyy! 🤣🎶🤣🎛️🤣💯 Have a good one and safe travels!

Thanks. Great Info.

I think I commented on this before but I'm back again as I am days away from heading to Rio. I like your videos because you still always include information to be informative. Too many videos these days show you stuff, but they are just showing it. No tips, no helpful hints. And your summaries are always filled with tips of do's, don'ts, and recommendations. It is much appreciated Sly.

thank you for the tips

Very good video and tips. A lot of tips. Nice walking video as well.

Que trabalho agradável, ser guia turístico de uma cidade como o Rio de Janeiro, preciso de um emprego desse.

As always bruh. Great content and info. Blessings👍

i lived in Rio de Janeiro, nice place, just watch were you going make some local friend and sure you be fine! enjoy your trip!

Nice appetizer

Great tips. I try to always know how to say at least 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' in the language of the place I'm visiting and always carry a little cash in case a place doesn't take cash. I'm going to have to find a canga! Enjoyed the tips and the beautiful views. Thanks!

Great tips!!

Good tips :) Looking forward to my Rio trip in September / October

Great video.

Nice. I love. Rio Brazil love

as a brazilian i love the video!

Good job!

Great tips, thanks - I'm returning to Brasil and didn't know Ubereats stopped, so great to know about Rappi. IFood didn't work for me either, probably because payment cards weren't Brasilian. One tip for the CPF issue is to find a friend who will let you use their number. I did this to buy some things online which wouldn't let me through without the CPF. Now I have one of my own (there is a CPF For Foreigners who spend a bit of time there).

Haha , I've been hooked on Acai for years ! Acai bowls or Acai smoothies 😊

Muito bom o video

Solid tips. The only thing I would change is the time to be there. We were in Rio for 9 days and I felt shortchanged. I think for me, you should plan to stay in Rio for a full 2 weeks your first time. It allow you to get all the tourist attractions out of the way and still be able to enjoy the entertainment and varias beaches they have.

Pacing yourself is great advice. I was there about 8 days and I was so drained by the end lol

nice vid mate, heading Rio from the UK for one month I go rio then to manuas to do amazon tour :)

I was literally just thinking about this. And it popped up.

I miss it there!!! S/O Mabs great place to eat and watch the games (basketball) gr8 service and some delicious Caprihinas and Suco!!!! Visiting Brasil has changed my life!!!

Great video

Good tips

I went a few years ago and two weeks was about right.

Sly bro dude! You rocked it like a boss! My name is Willy Soto and I’m a Puertorrican who now lives part time in Florida USA 🇺🇸 and part time in Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷 babyyyy! Bro! Everything you mentioned in this totally awesome video is right on the money and I just wanted you to know that I will be showing this video to all my friends and family in Brazil 🇧🇷 and they are going to love the fact that you did not mention anything about crime happening there. Everyone else’s videos are constantly talking about someone being mugged or robbed and My wife and I hate it when instead of talking about positive things that Rio have to offer, they just ruin the video experience for someone who’s thinking about taking a trip to Rio and when they do get there,you can see the look in the tourists eyes that they are scared and so they will not be enjoying their potentially best trip of their lives. In conclusion…this is the most informative and well explained video I’ve ever watch. Parabéns mano🤙🏽

Great channel

Lagoon is beautiful neighborhood!!!

Rio é uma cidade maravilhosa

In 2019 my friend brought her boss (American) to her wedding. I was responsible for taking them to Cristo and etc. I did the translation and etc and by the end of the day she said “Lucas I don’t know what I’d have done here without you” hahaah nice tips. I’d say: be careful and stay out ot downtown.

Os brasileiros são muitos receptivos com pessoas de fora, fiquem tranquilos, somos mais simpáticos do que aparentamos.

As usual I agree, especially with... - Rappi for the win! I ordered a space heater and it arrived in 45 minutes. - Know a couple of phrases in the local language helps. - I won't even consider a trip if I can't stay for at least 20 days.

😊🙏👏🏻

Hotel, motel, holiday inn!

Sly, how can I get a life like yours? You are living the dream. Man your content is very informative and to the point.

Great video! 👍 I tried to use your Airbnb link but it seems that it does not work anymore. I think they have cancelled the affiliate program.

Greetings!! I heard it's a bad ideal to exchange money at the airport because of the fees. However is it possible a good idea to do if you are uncomfortable and willing to get that out of the way?? Just curious, your thoughts?

Go to the west side of Barra da Tijuca and a busy place full of beautiful people

Açaí is 🔥

What are the best ways to use the internet if you need a reliable network to work from your apartment while in Rio? Thanks

Hotel motel holiday inn lol I caught that

We call it A Paréo in France!

Brasil ❤

Great video Sly. Do you prefer Rio de Janeiro or Salvador Bahia?

Just stay at the Sheraton. It’s a nice hotel. Has a beautiful view of the ocean and some near by areas. It has a private beach. 4 restaurants in/on the hotel’s property. It’s near most the popular spots to visit. And it’s safe and pretty affordable. (Which US money is like quadrupled in Rios $100 is like $400 there for example) Just got back from my two week trip. I enjoyed it immensely with my wife. But, I wouldn’t walk around alone outside the hotel. I wouldn’t flash what I have or bring anything important. I’d stick to tours with safe touring companies. And I wouldn’t go anywhere without a decoy wallet (have your money hidden on you) so that’s about it. From someone who’s actually visited it recently. Good luck! And don’t be stupid!

On the money bro, also be careful with your wallet and phone - Rio has a rep for a reason.

Hello how did you get phone services? SIM card ? Without cpf

Thanks Sly how much are Cangas?

Where are you at the end of the video?

You said cash. U.S. currency or i need to switch it to their currency?

10 Well, this morning, I want to talk about the subject: "If you are a Christian, then who is your Prophet?" For many of you, it is the first time you hear this question! And yet it is a question you could have heard every day, but the devil has removed it and replaced it by: "If you are a Christian, what is your church?" We are in the fifth dimension with marabouts, Catholics, Rosicrucians, Protestants, evangelicals, Branhamists and voodoo practitioners. And now, by habit, we all speak the language of the fifth dimension, we think and see things after the fifth dimension. 11 When I saw the other side of the curtain in the vision of 1993, a detail had escaped me when reporting it. Perhaps time had not yet come to speak about it. I have recognized the lot of Methodists but as for the other groups, I asked: "These ones, what church do they belong to?" And someone answered me: They are Catholics. And I said: “These ones over there, what church do they belong?” And he answered: They are Baptists. Then, they are Pentecostals, Presbyterians or others. And when I saw another group again, I asked: And those ones, which church do they belong? And they answered me: They are from such and such church. 12 Andwhen I saw the city surrounded by a Cloud, I said: "What about those over there? What church do they belong to?" And I was told: "No! You don’t ask that question there, it is on this side that you can ask such a question!" And I was told: There also, there are several Groups but it is another and only one question and it is: "Who is your Prophet? Or who is their Prophet? ".[Ed: The congregation says, Amen!]. And on the other side, there were no Catholic, Protestant, evangelical, Branhamist churches. And I was told: "what church do you belong to? It is on this side that you can ask such a question. But over there, only one question is asked and it is: Who is their Prophet?" nobody says: "what church do you belong to?" but "Who is your Prophet?" 13 The city was spreading farther than eye can see and there were gates and on the gates and lintels and the Frames of the gates and posts, were names of men as in Revelation 21:12-14. Not church names but men names. They were not in time or in a generation but they were in the eternity. And in the eternity, the peoples of each generation or each epoch had one and the same Prophet. Whatever the country or the place of the world where those elect were, whatever their country, continent, race or language, they had the name of one and the same Prophet for an epoch! 14 At a certain epoch, 800 years before The Lord Jesus Christ, the sons of the devil were scattered and had lot of leaders: some bishops, some reverends and so on, as we see it today. But the sons of God had only one leader, Prophet Isaiah. Whatever the place where the sons of God were, their prophet was only one all over the world. And it was Isaiah the living prophet of their time. From generation to generation that was always so. And the prophet of each was the prophet of his time. 15 And in the eternity, for one and the same epoch, two people cannot have two different prophets. There was no other building but only one Building was there and spread farther than eye can see. I understood that the two places that I saw are on the one hand the Paradise and on the other hand the region of the lost. WWW. Philippekacou. Org

2nd

So I was gonna use those shared orange electric bikes, when I go later this month. But when I went to sign up for the app, foreigners can’t sign up for the bikes. Weird business plan? Hopefully I can still use those Lime scooters!

FYI “local language” is Portuguese

Do you need a Visa to travel there ?

Anyone going Rio in May ?

Would you ever visit Tokyo?

If you're still there and want some good tips, hit me up

If you would stay for a month, what city in brazil would you choose?

Use common sense. Don't make yourself an easy target by showing valuables, or being distracted by the "scenery". Cell phones are the hot theft item at the moment. iPhones are VERY expensive in Brazil. If you choose to go out late at night clubbing or whatever stay in a group. That's your safest bet. If a hot girl wants you to leave with her, do not go by yourself. This is a common scam. Outside you will meet her "friends".

The 'local language' is called Portuguese. You didn't actually mention it. You just called it 'the local language'. 😂 REALLY great video though!!! 👍🏻

if your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend

Blank haha. The inner kid came out. Yup, don’t stay in Copacabana. Did it twice and will never stay there again.

Whenever I mention these places such as Leblon to Brazilians, they can't understand what I am saying . . . aha

My God. Just look at the women 😍. I'm coming for 2 months 🤣🤣🤣

How’s the safety ? When I was there in 2014 petty crime was rampant but i heard bolsonaro cleaned it up a bit

sad sad sad......🤐🤐😑😑😑😒😒😒beautyfull country but very dangerous people sad.....sad
