Work Abroad

Work in Brazil http://www.flickr.com/photos/nmacca/

The robust economy is making Brazil a little more expensive to live these days but you can still live well in villages in the North East of Brazil like Jericocoara for about $500 a month. There are internet connections but they may be limited to the local internet café. In places like Rio de Janeiro you can live a great lifestyle but you’ll be spending around $1000 without even trying.

Rio de Janeiro is nice....but expensive http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaysha/

In the cities the infrastructure is good, in the villages it can be a little hit and miss but it’s always warm and there are plenty of other foreigners who have come to forget the first world.

Foreigners are only allowed to stay in Brazil for 180 days each calendar year. But if you overstay all you have do is pay a fine of a few hundred bucks.

Try the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba or Floreanopolis in the south, beaches in Bahia like Trancoso and Ariel d’ajuda for a traveler feel, or bohemian beaches like Pipa, Canoa Quebrada or Jericocoara in the north east of Brazil.
