That's good to know. Can you recommend me a nice small town to live in? Once settled, I would like to rent a place in a middle class neighborhood (for LATIN AMERICA standards) Thanks

Yeah Brazil is very large, its the same in the U.S. such a large nation the lifestyles are not the same depending on where you live.

That's not very far from the average in Brazil.

@@lephilosopheinconnu3952 Hi Quique, I'm from the state of São Paulo so that's the only state that I can talk about. There is a small town right next to the city of São Paulo called São Caetano do Sul, it's the the city with highest HDI in Brazil and it's close to all the Highlights from São Paulo. I think it's a great choice if you want to experience part of the southwest Brazilian lifestyle.

@@lephilosopheinconnu3952 Hey man, I can give you 3 options Franca (in the state of São Paulo), Cascavel (in Paraná) and Uberaba (Minas Gerais) those are all around the same number of people (between 300 to 500k) and are considered to be very nice cities to live in

Favelas have been around long before MW2 lol. That video game lyfe perspective.

How can you move there? What does it take?

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!!

I defently enjoyed watching the interview. Hopefully we’ll see more videos about other big cities, e.j. Cape town, Berlin or Caracas. The last-named city would be so interesting but it’s very dangerous there.

@@mariannegtner great suggestions! Id like to have more time there next time as well, so that I can get a greater understanding. Cody, his girlfriend, and her family were very inciteful though. I just finished editing a taipei video, it'll be up soon.

Uma parte muito grande do Brasil é bem pobre. Se não favela, quase favela. E como ele disse, essa é a experiência do brasileiro típico, não a sua vida na bolha. Acho que o gringo aí entende mais do país que você mesmo, que deve ser como eu, vivendo no meio do top 20% mais rico do país.

talvez seja porque os videogames americanos mostram favelas como en modern warfare o mad max 3 e esse garoto parece que joga muitos videogames jaja

Talvez porque nossas Favelas (desconsiderando a questão do tráfico, violência policial, etc) acabam surpreendendo muitos estrangeiros: a maioria têm serviços públicos (energia, água), Internet, Comércio, as Pessoas trabalham, etc. Chequem em Bagladesh ou Kinshasa, periferia de Nova Iorque ou Detroit (que para o Estado não existem) e vão descobrir o que é favela no sentido lato do termo...

Os gringos acham que o Brasil só tem favela,não sabe como o Brasil e um país Bonito

Infelizmente o Brasil eh pobre. Logo favela é a primeira imagem que vem na cabeça deles

Hi! Brazilian here. American expats usually find it easier to get jobs on English language schools (even if they don't have a lot of education in teaching). At the school where I studied there were two americans and a german. If you have a college degree, it will take some time to validate it, but if it's not a protected profession that needs certification (lawyers, doctors, architects, etc.) and you speak good Portuguese, you can actually get a job in your own field. Either way, if you get a job like that here, it's unlikely you'll have to live in a favela since it'd be enough to rent a small apartment in a "better" area.

I'd download google translation. On the app you can download entire languages. That's what I always do when I visit a new country. We met people in Rio who spoke pretty solid english but a lot of rio is tourist from all of the world and english is a great international language.

Hi It's me Cody

Loco_coco93 is his instagram

Thank you! Any drone shot in that city comes out amazing

Yea I know man! Haha cody was a phenomenal host too. You would of cracked up at his setup down there

Thanks! I have a mavic pro 2 for the drone footage and I believe at the time I was using my note 10 for the video. I've got a nikon z6 now though

Glad to hear you enjoyed them. You will have to watch the one with patton lol its a good one

Watch this video where you keep my underwear. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pq2Pjaaozs_Rk30.html

I agree with you, but I believe cody was saying the average Brazilian lives similar to how cody himself lives. Could still be untrue but cody doesnt live in a favela. His neighborhood is fine with lots of nice and friendly people. Sorry if that came off the wrong way

you're absolutely right

Thank you 👍🏿

Global Vagrant you’re cool irmão

You are wrong. The average Brazilian lives just slightly better than this neighborhood.

What’s it like ?

@@MBACCOMEDY huge cities , lots of buildings and skyscrapers , but he is in the poor area

This crazy young man chose to live in one of the poorest slums in the city! Its not average at all, its way below average for São Paulo!

I got back 2 weeks ago. I was in copacabana and barra for 10 days. Don’t believe the media and other BS. GO NOW. The dollar is strongest now and everything is cheap. Don’t be flashy and don’t be scared nothing will happen ENJOY

@@vlo9647 Thanks for the reassuring advice on safety. But, long travel isn't recommended and what about Rio hotels and restaurants? Big question there regarding Co-Vid transmission. American Airlines and others don't have non-stop flights from Miami right now. I live in Denver, CO. So, I'll have to wait it off. All in dining is closing tomorrow since the second wave is becoming a big concern in Colorado. Where are you from?

@@robertlamb759 the travel bum channel doing amazing daily vlog. worth to take a look

I'll see if I can get cody to give u an answer on that.

TJBellamy99 I would say Brazil is probably one of the most diverse countries on earth. There’s a ton of African and African American immigrants that really seem to enjoy living here. Brazilians are very welcoming people. My friends here are all friends with black, white, Asian and all other sorts of people. So I would think you’d really enjoy it. 😊

I just watched a video about how african American woman are coming to Bahia to find they're roots.

Hahaha vlogging in a favela might be a good way to get yourself in trouble

Raja Bhaiya Brazil Wale how to get robbed

Haha me too

People say it is dangerous, so watch out for yourself. Locals will warn you to not be on your phone face timing bc it makes you a target. Dont be walking around drunk at night dressed like you have a lot of money and acting stupid. I think if you are just visiting and not acting like a fool you should be fine. Our only interactions with people there were very friendly, but of course that doesnt prove it's safe. It's a really cool place hope you get the opportunity to see it. And maybe travel with a friend. Will make it much more safe

Vaishnav Inabathula if you’re from India 🇮🇳 or USA 🇺🇸 y’all don’t need visa no more!

1. Brazil is big, depends on which city you are. But for the most part, yes. 2. Depends what your skillset is. A common job for recent arrivals is as an English language teacher. 3. It certainly doesn't help. But Portuguese is easy to learn, trust me when I say it. I've seen Americans who were here for about a year speaking fluently. 4. Quite easy if you speak Portuguese and have a job. But if you want a shortcut, have a Brazilian baby. ;)

Yea, cody is in the outskirts though. Go downtown and it is very nice.

yeah i live in floripa and its very chill

@@leonardoduarte7855 very beautiful area. good luck

He is in one of the poorest slums, way below average for São Paulo city!

It depends on where you are. The area where cody lives is pretty dirty, but downtown sao Paulo and parts of Rio were incredible. Yea, like that beach. Epic views too

Don't be fooled by scammers, Sao Paulo doesn't have beaches anywhere near it. It's a 2 hour trip to the coast, and the weather is almost always cloudy there. Look into other states and cities like Florianopolis, Salvador or Fortaleza. Besides, even if you want to get to the Sao Paulo coast, you will rely on public transportation that leaves you in a terminal far away from the beach, not connected by other public transport lines, just to force you to spend on taxis. That's how scammy this place is! If you want to be carried to the beach itself, you will have to rely on "clandestine" vans that departure from the Jabaquara metro station, and they also cost half the price of the conventional public transport! The problem is that they have to constantly hide because the state want so desperate to extort taxes from them. Argh this place... There's better uses for your money.

That neighborhood is a lower income area , its pretty much a guetto .... its funny how this guy thinks that brazil is not a western country ... lol ... go figure ...

@@FeelingShred All that you say is totally wrong and deceptive! You must be very ignorant or really stupid: Beaches are one hour from the bus station on an excellent road. As there are many beaches near São Paulo, there are many bus lines taking you to the beach area you want. But this stupid guy took the bus taking him to the port area of Santos, away from the beach area! We use to say, when the brains are not good, the body suffers! How stupid one can be!

Haha it was the middle of the world cup when I was down there and chile had just won a match

Lol thanks man

Thank you! He was working in the paper industry in the United States doing NDT, but last I heard he was doing drone footage of parties and assembling furniture part time in sao Paulo.

Bom dia ya’ll 😂

I believe travel to Brazil is still banned. At least till the end of july

@@globalvagrant1392 thank alot man looking to go to Recife for 5month

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the video.

è a parte mais pobre de Guaianazes, um dos bairros mais pobres de São Paulo!

Nah,Australia's got snakes, reptiles, spiders, and many more...What are you talking about? 😂😂

Hi Nilson! I see some good points on your comment. Are u from Brazil?

@@charlierodriguez5329 Yes Charlie ! I´m from Sao Paulo city , Brazil. Where are you from ?

Hey! I hate to be speaking for Cody but that is where his girls family lives, so he just ended up living in that area near all of them.

@@nilsonpompeo3322 Thank you for your quickly answer. I'm from Bogota, Colombia. Im planing to travel and live for some months in Brazil. Would u mind telling me which is a good neighborhood to live in?

I'd have to ask Cody lol I'm not super familiar with Brazil unfortunately. I'm planning on visiting him again this month though

Awesome! Thank you for the extended hand. My friend cody is still living there maybe you will see him around soon 😉

Off the top of my head I'd say that would be plenty, but I havent actually lived there. I'll see if I can get cody to comment on here

I would say that with that amount of income you should be able to live comfortably but I’m not totally sure, the price of living in Copacabana is more expensive than other places in Brazil. But $r4900 a month is a lot for Brazil so I think you’ll be fine. Good luck!

@@loucococo274 Thanks man

It sounds like the perfect plan to me. I'm working on my perfect plan too

@@lephilosopheinconnu3952 let me just say something since you say you wanna move to South america, you should probably not come with a bigoted and judgemental attitude like you have now. If you call people "dumb asses & crack heads" without even knowing them here it would not get you in a good situation. The Culture here is the opposite of that. So if you really are that judgemental in real life I feel sorry for you once you get here. Good luck

No, its not good for expats because he is living in one of the worst and poorest slums of São Paulo! Way below average!

Yea hahaha you get used to it pretty quick

TimeTravel3r me as Brazilian i think it’s disgusting also! I’m my house we don’t do that! I don’t live in the favelas! More like the projects in USA

KKKKK! But this is not the average real São Paulo! Its one of the poorest areas, below average, on the levelof a favela. In São Paulo this is not real average area!

It was winter though haha

Reclama não e eu que tenho que ir pra escola faça chuva ou faça sol de calça jeans

Yeah.. because I was an idiot and was saying it wrong haha

Cody has a job in Brazil making REAL. I was just visiting Cody from the USA.

Thanks for the feedback! Cody isnt an expert on anything Brazil, but I guess that is what he had heard about the favelas. I'm sure he, and I, could have been wrong about some things. No motive inside Brazil lol cody just lives there so I interviewed him to learn more about brazil and share his experiences.

0 8 Hi! Follow me there @manoel._.netto

Please. Don’t do this.

Holy crap man hope your friend is alright. Where were you???

She lost a kidney shes all good now. We were walking up to visit Christ the Redeemer, it happened at these ghetto bathrooms just below. A chick tried to jump her in the bathrooms and that girls bf tried to jump me haha 0 stars for me.

@@oustandingsitter6106 That's not funny. some people rely on these comments.

I wasnt making a joke.

you must take into account that rio de janeiro has a bad history of crimes for a long time, the opposite of são paulo, which is a mega city, has a reasonable and acceptable level of security and most of the rest Brazil and the South of the country is a good example.

I'm not sure about that particular area where cody lives, but sao paulo is a financial city. Downtown has a lot of good jobs in finance and business. Cody lives in a bad area

There's far better neighborhoods that cost affordable prices for sharing apartments or even renting rooms on guesting houses (private room but shared kitchen and bathroom) like barrio Ipiranga, Mooca, all near metro and relatively walkable from downtown. The outskirts are not that cheap in comparison.

Isso não é verdade!

Yea, I realized that right after the interview 😒

@@globalvagrant1392 all good man. I been to Brazil many times so I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

@@nicksvlogcastchannel361 yea, that was my first time there. I'm excited to get back over there and do a follow up with cody
