I lived in southern Brazil for nearly three years.

I rented apartments. I drove the roads. I shopped at the same supermarkets every week. I learned Portuguese. I dealt with Brazilian bureaucracy, healthcare, housing, and everyday life.

And after all that...

I LEFT.

So was southern Brazil actually a mistake?

Not at all.

In fact, there are a LOT of things I love about living in southern Brazil. Home ownership can be surprisingly attainable, private healthcare can remove a huge financial burden, the food is incredible, and cities in places like Santa Catarina and Paraná can offer a lifestyle that feels surprisingly familiar to North Americans.

But there are also some things that don't show up in the typical "Brazil is amazing!" videos.

In this video, I'm breaking down 5 pros and 5 cons of living in southern Brazil based on my own experience and conversations with Americans, Brits, and other foreigners who have actually built lives here.

And Con #5 is the one that eventually gets to a lot of foreigners living abroad.

I'll also share some of the experiences I've had with people I've interviewed in southern Brazil, including Robert, Saravan, Jody, Sam, Nicole and Alan—and explain why some foreigners decide to stay while others eventually decide it's time to leave.

In this video:

🇧🇷 5 PROS OF LIVING IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

Home ownership is back on the table
Southern Brazil feels surprisingly European
You stop doing the math on healthcare
Walking becomes part of your social life
Fresh local food and incredible weekend options

🇧🇷 5 CONS OF LIVING IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

Portuguese eventually becomes unavoidable
The cold—and the way Brazilian homes handle it
The CPF and how much of Brazilian life revolves around it
Brazilian driving can test your nerves
The challenge of building a real social circle as a foreigner

After nearly three years of living in Brazil, I've learned that loving a country and deciding not to stay there forever aren't necessarily contradictory.

Southern Brazil may be an incredible place to live—but whether it's the right place for you depends on what you're actually looking for in the next chapter of your life.

If you're considering retiring in Brazil, moving to Brazil, or simply wondering what everyday life is really like here, I hope this gives you a more honest picture.

White middle class of southern Brazil is not anything near what most brazilians would consider "average". Most people don't have access to that. That is considered a hell of a privilege and white people from the south have more access and generally speaking, more money. So no, nothing like average. This is quite beyond what the average Brazilian will ever have.

As casas no Brasil nenhuma é projetada para o frio mas ele existe e se faz presente no outono até metade da primavera nas regiões Sul, parte das regiões Sudeste e Centro-oeste. Por exemplo, minha cidade apresenta um clima tropical mas nos meses de outono-inverno as mínimas a noite ficam entre 15⁰C o que parece confortável até você perceber que tudo a seu redor estará nessa temperatura além da alta umidade relativa do ar que faz TUDO parecer ainda mais frio e molhado.

I lived in the Netherlands for 10 years as a Researcher, and my opnion about there, it is not the best. My sister has been living in London for 30 years, and works as a charge nurse- deputy ward manager ( high level position), and her opnion about UK is not the best. Therefore, our opnion can be relevant because we have entered to work in highly skilled jobs in Europe, not to wash plates. Good salary but It is impossible to save money. If you want to buy a house in these countries, you Will pay It up to the death. That's Crazy!! Brazil may not be perfect, The Netherlands and UK are also not. Even though, the Netherlands and UK are considered richer countries, they have big issues to deal with which are not show by private press for selling the Idea of the perfect countries. The maxima is if you ARE not happy abroad, come back to your country. Brazil is from Brazilian, especially in the Northeast, the best place over the world...

I was born and raised in the south of Brazil. The only real con is the climate, yes, the cold is a pain. 1. CPF: just request it, it's not like applying for a green card. 2. Traffic: in the capitals (Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Florianoplois) it can be more aggressive, but in small towns it is ok, even very slow sometimes. 3. Language barrier: few people speak English, even Spanish, it has some similarities, but it is a completely different language. But if you move anywhere else in the world, there would be a barrier.<br><br>4. People are more reserved, yes, but the problem is the hypothetical Brazil that is sold. Not everyone is friendly, and not everyone is closed. It depends a lot on where you met the person, context and everything else. But again, it's no different from other parts of the world. Or would an American quickly make friends with a Brazilian? I don't think so. So basically, I think the problems listed are problems of living abroad (anywhere in the world) and not only in Brazil.

I live in Rio and love the country. He seems to be searching for the version of Brazil that requires the least surrender of his North American expectations. Don’t come to Brazil looking for "the least Brazilian version of Brazil". Brazil can be chaotic, noisy, contradictory, warm, frustrating, spontaneous and extraordinarily beautiful. Sometimes all of those things before lunch. Learning Portuguese is only the beginning. Living here also means allowing Brazil and Brazilians to change you a little, rather than trying to find a Brazil that requires you to change as little as possible. So my advice to anyone watching this and seriously considering Brazil: travel around before deciding. Spend time outside the expat bubble. Take a bus. Go to a feira. Sit in a boteco. Walk through an old neighborhood. Talk to people. Visit the South, certainly, but also experience Rio, Minas, Bahia, Pernambuco and other parts of the country if you can. Then choose the Brazil that speaks to you, rather than simply the one that feels most like home. Maybe he'll take a lifetime looking for a home that only exists in his imagination. If you cross a continent only to recreate the life you left behind, you may miss the best reason for crossing it in the first place.

I’m with you, Eric. It does take a while to pierce that cool exterior of the people in the south of Brazil. We moved to Curitiba two years ago and it’s a slow process to build friendships; at least in Curitiba. It certainly is a different culture down here than in the state of Rio. When I met my girlfriend from Rio, I was concerned about the safety In Rio and heard all the good things about the lifestyle in Curitiba and so we decided to come check it out and we bought a new condo under construction in the first 10 days we were in Curitiba. We don’t have many regrets; we do love the city and especially its’ beautiful parks. The other aspect that you didn’t touch upon in this video is that there is some racism here and my girlfriend who is morena has experienced some racism unfortunately. Now truth be told, racism can exist anywhere, including Brazil, but our personal perspective is that the racism is more active in the south with the predominantly white population compared to places like Rio de Janeiro.

I am an Italian-born naturalized Brazilian, and one thing I always explain to anyone thinking about moving here is that Brazil is not just one country; it is many 'Brazils'.<br>I live in the Northeast, and the climate, cost of living, and lifestyle can be completely different from the South. Florianópolis is wonderful—I have a son who lives there, and just the day before yesterday, they had hail the size of tennis balls. Natal is a completely different reality.

Moved to Brazil in 2008 from the U.S. (Got out while the gettin was good. It was a huge struggle as a 40 year old. Lived in Bahia, surfed a lot, opened a business that failed but found success in São Paulo. Finally settled in a sweet spot on the southern edge of São Paulo city. Im super happy. Learn the language, build friendships in the community. Brazil will take care of you.

It surprises me that you, being American, finds the southern Brazilians to be reserved. I don't think anyone in Brazil, in the entire country, is half as reserved as Americans. I have lived most of my life in the US, in several states, and hearing a neighbor or anyone invite you to their home takes a very long time.

I moved to Santa Catarina Brazil last year. I have mixed feelings about it. I got a beautiful 81 acre farm up in the mountains with spring water, views, 9 beehives, fruit trees, low property taxes, and nice neighbors. But the bureacracy has driven me crazy. Complications with my purchase forced me to return to the US last year to get some documents apostilled so I could finish closing on the property. I've had 2 contractors come by and offer to renovate my house, but thanks to the help of my neighbor I know they were both trying to rip me off and included a hefty 'this gringo must be rich' tax in their estimate. Took 1 week to open a bank account, 1 month to get a cell phone number, 4 months to get my drivers license. And the guys on "motos" in Floripa drive me crazy... I've already been hit twice in Lagoa da Conceisao, and got chewed out by another guy on a moto in Jurere while driving around... these guys think they own the road. But the thing that has really annoyed me is how they tax my social security if I stay more than 6 months during a 12 month period. I also recently found out my son will have a major headache on his hands if I die while owning property in Brazil... the transfer process to him will be a pain, and he will have to pay substantial inheritance tax. For now I've resolved to only live in Brazil for about 4 months. I'm planning on spending the rest traveling to Pategonia and Europe and hanging out in my favorite place in Colorado, which is where I've been for about 2 months now.

The only place I've ever seen someone overtake on a corner is in Bahia! Interestingly, I now live in Portugal and they drive the same way. They drive right behind you super close and they also constantly go over the line in the middle of the road, so you have to hug the curb when you drive, dreadful drivers in both places LOL
