luskira 22d

there are some that its less risky

luskira 22d

and there are places that google maps and uber dont know are dangerous and can cause you to die like this

jeniapus 22d

Dam son

luskira 22d

i have cousins who are uber drivers in rio, not even they know all the places that are dangerous

luskira 22d

that said if you stick to zona sul(copacabana, ipanema, leblon) you dont have to worry as much

jeniapus 22d

What about botafogo?

jeniapus 22d

Its ok to stay there?

luskira 22d

also safe

jeniapus 22d

What isn't safe?

luanmuniz 22d

Lapa

luanmuniz 22d

Gloria

luanmuniz 22d

Centro

luskira 22d

zona oeste(west zone), Niterói, vargem

rodsch 22d

it is, just dont let your guard down, dont be distracted on the streets.
and dont leave the Zona Sul bubble

luskira 22d

lapa is safe if you go to parties with friends and stuff but its def more dangerous

luskira 22d

if you find yourself in Zona Oeste you will probably die haha

luskira 22d

Duque de Caxias(where i grew up) is a big city but also dangerous in some parts

luanmuniz 22d

Dont go to Duque de Caixias hahahah

luskira 22d

i highly recommend ilha grande

luskira 22d

there is literally nothing to do there

luskira 22d

I recommend Petropolis and Teresopolis too

jeniapus 22d

Its a city in Brazil?

omtare 22d

I thought I read niteroi had highest standard of living in Brazil.

jeniapus 22d

What's to do there

omtare 22d

Haven't been there mind

jeniapus 22d

Other than drinking coconut water😂

luanmuniz 22d

They have different vibes from the rest of Rio tho, Petropolis and Teresopolis are small cities more away from the big city

luanmuniz 22d

They are more chill places

omtare 22d

One of best beaches in world, amazing hike across the island

jeniapus 22d

Oh really, its between rio and Sao Paulo right?

jeniapus 22d

Didnt expect that much people to comment me😂 i thought ima send a msg here and get answers when i leave brazil

omtare 22d

It apparently is regularly in list of worlds best beaches. Dunno how accurate the list is, but it's definitely one of my favourites

jeniapus 22d

Your there now?

omtare 22d

I wish

omtare 22d

Probably too hot for me now anyway

lsousa 22d

Overall Niterói is safer than Rio, disagree with that
Same as Rio: stick with poch area and you are ok

lsousa 22d

Old data. Not anymore but still safer than Rio

rcsligar 21d

Anyone in Jericoacoara?

tonyjara 20d

Anyone by any chance going to websumit Rio?

jeniapus 20d

Anyone in rio and wants to hang?

luskira 20d

It’s in Rio de Janeiro

luskira 20d

Beaches, hikes, waterfall

jeniapus 20d

😂

jeniapus 20d

I saw that

jeniapus 20d

Naughty boy

jeniapus 20d

😁😁😁😂😂😂

vike27 20d

Hey all, I will be in Florianopolis for the next 4-5 months. Anyone else in Florianopolis?

danielgabarra 18d

Anyone in Belo Horizonte?

omtare 18d

How is safety managed?

nthnjns 18d

Are phones expensive in Brazil? Thinking of grabbing a cheap esim phone when I pass through Hong Kong next week as a backup for my inevitably stolen phone in Brazil...

jasmien 18d

Import taxes are high here, so you're probably best off to buy one in HK.
Theft can be avoided with precaution, don't think it's as bad as people hype it up to be

nthnjns 18d

Thank you! Looks like I can grab a Pixel for 230 USD in HK so it will be nice to have a backup just in case :)

jasmien 17d

That's a pretty good price for one. Passing by Rio by any chance?

nthnjns 17d

Haha yeah at some point:)

luskira 17d

Yeah you will need a burner phone for rio

luskira 17d

Hahaha

luskira 17d

But not all places are that dangerous

vasconcelos 17d

Pixel phones dont have 5G outside their official markets

luskira 17d

You can get an entry level Samsung here for 700 reais (about 100 dollars) that has 4gb ram, 128gb space and with card payment via approximation

luskira 17d

All you really need to walk around, catch Ubers, pay stuff and look stuff up online

Plus with a huge ton of battery to last you two days

nthnjns 17d

Thanks

nthnjns 17d

Yeah I just want a cheap esim phone

cwiesey 15d

Hey hey 🌞 anyone else in Pipa currently? Me and a friend are here!

arnina 15d

Hello! Are there any good groups for expats living in Rio, especially ones who have been/will be there for a while?

rcsligar 13d

I was just there, now in jericoacoara

mrtn010 13d

I will be there from 11th March for a week or two. Any tips what areas to look for accommodation?

arthurfd 12d

Are there any Italians here who were able to extend your stay in Brazil for more than 90 days?

branaust 12d

just touched down in Rio! anyone interested in scheduling a meetup?

fancynomad 12d

Anyone gonna be in Rio for carnival? 🎉

jeniapus 12d

im also here

branaust 12d

yep i’ll be here !

micko8 12d

Hi everyone,
I'm staying in Florianopolis 3 weeks in February:

Remote Work 🧑🏼‍💻🤖👽
Surf 🏄
Networking 🍻

That's my little program.

I would be glad if you guys could share with me some hostels with co-working. I'm struggling to find them in the city...

Thank you and hopefully see you soon!

margacamps 11d

Hi!! someone knows this coworking in Rio? Any opinion?

https://crearespaces.com/brazil/rio_de_janeiro/draper_startup_house_by_lawi

branaust 10d

i’m staying in barra, Rio and can’t seem to find a single cafe close by that i can work from. where do nomads typically go to work around here?

lsousa 10d

create one!

micko8 10d

I don't know if I go to Rio or Florianopolis from now untill mid march. Is that the expensive high season?

rm 10d

High season is more like January. Floripa should be OK by now. Rio will be crowded during carnival days. March is fine for both

pierrefrederic 10d

Hi folks, anyone in Salvador or will be here during Carnaval?

pierrefrederic 10d

Also - looking for good coworking spots in Salvador if any of you have recommendations

lsousa 10d

Carnival is until March 8 this year. I would say until mid/end of March Rio will be crowded

lsousa 10d

There are always "blocos" after carnival end date and everyone knows about it nowadays, people stay longer

rcsligar 10d

People looking for a chill surf destination should look at Jericoacoara, nice mellow waves and also kite surfing. Town is kind of touristy but so is Pipa, personally I like the vibe here better than Pipa

lsousa 10d

def. don't go to any capital this time of the year if you are looking to a chill place. 100% probability of being crowded due to Carnival (already)

florianpr 9d

Hello people ! Hope you are well :)
Anyone has experimented high-ticket sells in brasil?
It works well ?
Could we charge in US dollar ?

Thanks you

jcoutz 7d

Barra has 0 walkability , I don't recommend for tourism really

jeniapus 7d

hey guys
trying to decide where to go after rio
i have around another month in brazil

luskira 7d

anyone in sao paulo?

jhughey 7d

We get in on Sunday and are staying in Botafogo until the 2nd. If anyone wants to do a meetup, let us know.

rodsch 6d

what are you looking for exactly?

lucaspass 5d

I am

andersongrowth 5d

Hey, guys!

andersongrowth 5d

Anyone in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina?

danielgabarra 5d

I'm going to return next week

harrietasdf 4d

I’m here too!

jonyale 4d

Great to hear! Would you say that about the people regardless of the state? I get the impression it’s pick your preference: north for friendliness and culture; south for safety. Hoping South (eg Curitiba) has what you love about the people

jhughey 3d

We're in botafogo for a few weeks if anyone is interested in meeting up. Also welcome any and all food and cocktail spot recs. We eat/drink anything. Partial to a fun vibes

torroledo 10h
