Probably depends on the country. My girlfriend is from Brazil and from what she says, Brasilia (the capital), the northeast, Rio and the south of Brazil are all pretty much completely different in terms of culture and how people behave. Apparently in some parts of Brazil they speak German and the buildings are built in an old German style. In the north near where the Amazon empties into the Atlantic its about 80 to 100 degrees fahrenheit all year and sticky with jungle humidity, in the west it's a dry prairie and in the south it snows. And that's just one country.

That is a question in which the individual perception is dependent.

But in general is a beautiful and vast country, with large cultural differences depending on the region, but in general is also equal.

I live in the south in the city where I was born. I spent 13 years living in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the two largest cities. Mega-cities, mega problems.

Maringá - Paraná


A beautiful city with approximately 400,000 inhabitants.

A little cold in winter but overall it's hot. Especially with climate change caused by geo-engineering I think.

Beautiful places and places where poverty and mainly ignorânia prevail.

It is much more complicated than that my friend.

Let's say your girlfriend made a very brief summary. We have the north near the equator and the south near the Arctic, there is no way that regional cultures are equal. And the middle between them.

The west for example is a major producer of grains in the country in addition to producing one of the largest cattle herd in the world. It is not as dry as it was said.

And being the vast farms is the wetland. A savanna flooded with more than 250,000 km long.

The South, Southeast and Midwest is more influenced by European and Japanese who migrated to the country early last century.

You must first decide what you prefer. beaches, mountains, forests, savannah ???, has it all.

Naste.

Costa Rica (though that's central America) or something like that would be nice, I just like it warm and sunny. The darkness (winter blues) here gets to your head, even if it's not that cold yet. Better to make your move before the masses or at least plan it... Just saying.

I live in Cuenca, Ecuador. My wife and I have lived here for two years. This city is in a valley in the midst of the Andes at 8,000 plus feet. There are mountains all around, but no snow. We are only about 2 degrees South of the equator. Cuenca weather is a little cool to be called eternal springtime. Ecuador has four major climate zones: amazonian, mountain, coastal and island. People here are very friendly towards North Americans, but don't mind poking a finger in "Uncle Sam's" eye whenever they can. In 2010, the US CIA tried to get the current president killed by his own police. The population is young in Ecuador. It is a very small country with little money. There have been a lot of investments made in the country's infrastructures, and Ecuador is greatly in debt to China. Food is generally inexpensive and healthy. GMO food is controversial and must be marked. In the last two years, the banks have been pushing young people to get credit cards and get heavily into debt.

South America is a pure jewel in nature the people are realy different than in europe its more a together than a seperation the mentality is realy different but the continent is big and i didnt see all yet, can only talk about colombia, ecuador, peru and bolivia.

the only way to find out is buy a ticket and pack your backpack ! Lets go :)

depends on where you go, I lived in Guyana for a few years, not so nice. If you removed the people, who have turned it into a dump, it would be beautiful. Gorgeous nights though.

Thank you all for sharing :)

There's something magical about it, like in every country but every country has something unique about it...

Hi all,

I am going to move next year...either to Cornwall or somewhere in South America...

I am wondering about work...which I will have to do for money...

I am still not physically well (have ME and POTS) but I am going to try my best with diet and other forms of cleansing...as well as, perhaps, other therapies that I can do at home. I can't work at the moment but hopefully soon.

So it's not so easy for me to get up and go at the moment, but I have to go fairly soon.

I don't know if it comes across on here that well, that socially I am a friendly, helpful, easy going, peaceful and nurturing person (most of the time), I care a lot about other people (sometimes too much, and see and feel too much), and so I would like to work in a caring profession, or if not in an ethical place where that is valued.

just putting it out there..

Forgot to mention, I have a degree in nutrition and love cooking (raw or cooked)...I would love to work in that...
