Since I'm a native Brazilian i think i can speak up here. Going to live in Latam? Stay away from big cities such as São Paulo, Rio de janeiro, Salvador and etc. If you have options go south and stay either in Florianópolis or any city where the number of inhabitants is lower than 500.000. There are some cities in São Paulo state that are absolutely gold such as Jundiaí, Vinhedo, Itupeva, Itu, Holambra... You'll be better off going south, but the Southeastern states are ok. Curitiba is nice, Florianópolis is also nice and the cities that lies arround. There are indeed lots of nice places in Brazil specially if your money is in some offshore company with a big swiss account associated with it.

The truth is that Andrew knows nothing of Brasil outside of what he is told, reads or gleaned from a short visit to Rio. Andrew does not know the South of Brasil nor any other states in Brasil. I have been here for approaching 20 years now and live in the South. Andrew is nothing more than a general contractor and knows what he knows. One thing I know with certainty is as far as LATAM and South America in general . . . he, personally, just book smart enough to sound like he knows anything about this region when in actuality his real world experience here is essentially of little significance.

@antoniocampos56386 ай бұрын
@clintfalk Free healthcare is usually bad anywhere, because it's actually expensive (nothing is free) and run by the Government (so mostly inefficient and in some cases catastrophic). Free healthcare in Brazil can be pretty bad (mostly), but still better then most of Latin America, but if you can actually get proper care for major diseases (transplants, major surgeries and cancer treatment even) after moving up the line, then it can be one of the best in the World in some cases. But that's if you can get moving on the line (foreigners might get some help with that, like people that knows important people, etc.), so many middle and upper class have private insurance or just get private services paying full price, since it's far cheaper then in the US or other developed countries and if properly chosen can have a good service, in some cases, better services. So this healthcare is bad thing only applies if you're a poor average Brazilian relying in the public healthcare or if you're too dumb or ignorant to get good services in the private sector.

It is the second largest metalworking hub in Brazil, behind only São Paulo. Administrative headquarters of multinationals such as RANDON CORP, AGRALE, NEOBUS, MARCOPOLO and many others. City founded in the 19th century by Italian immigrants and entrepreneurs. It is an excellent city to live and undertake.

As a 30y.o. chilean citizen I wouldn't recommend Santiago as a liveable city, nowadays is a very dangerous city, crime is getting worse day after day bc our poor justice don't punish enough to stop crime, instead of that our justice system boost the criminal giving them even pensions in some cases, it allows criminals to avoid jail if they show a fake medical certificate about a disease so they can take vacations "at home" which is not fulfilled most of the times, the criminal is back at the streets in a couple of days until he gets caught again to be released later. If any person, turist or visitor, chilean or not, gets assaulted by a criminal is almost certain you will no get justice ⚖️.
