brazil lifestyle and culture @lifestyleno1.com
There’s lots of touch lots of feeling it’s a it’s a very intimate culture and that’s one of the great things that we love about it it’s also a family-oriented culture where the people are are very close knit with their family they don’t have very many kids like one maybe two children per family but it’s uh they’re they hold their kids and their family very close to each other Number three, our kids are bilingual which is amazing that was a big goal for us that was something that was really important living in another country we wanted them to learn the
- language and there’s no better way to do that than to actually live in that native environment so our kids are
- fluent in Portuguese that’s been an incredible opportunity for them and Portuguese is very latin so it’s a great
- base for learning other languages in the future.
Brazil is the largest country in South America and the most populated country and because it has the most people living in brazil out of all the those in South America if you speak Portuguese you can do very well in business and communications here in South America Number four, free public health care health care in the United States is crazy expensive and it’s free here in Brazil for brazilians permanent residents for even travelers if you’re passing through Brazil you have access to free health care which is incredible, so you have the option of choosing private care and finding private doctors for things that you need and sometimes that is a
- good and better option it just depends on what you need and your preferences and that does cost you out of
- pocket but it’s a fraction of the cost cheaper than the United States. For example uh before we moved to Brazil
- i think it was the day before Maycee, she broke her arm and we didn’t have insurance in the United States so
- we took her to the emergency room we waited at the emergency room they gave her an x-ray and afterwards
- they gave her a brace they didn’t even put her into a
uh into a cast and they said uh come back in a week to to have a checkup we couldn’t come back in a week because our flight was the next day we got on the plane we flew to Brazil uh a few months later a few weeks later we got a bill in the mail for six thousand dollars just for an x-ray and a sling for her arm nothing else no other care was provided and here in Brazil, Maycee has also broken bones and she and we’ve taken her to the public hospitals and we go in we have to wait a long time that’s true uh but you also have to wait a long time in the United States so we
waited a long time they they put us through gave us an x-ray and then they put a cast on her right right then and there after they saw what was wrong and it was free we didn’t have to pay anything we’ve also paid for private health care here in Brazil and it’s pretty good it’s it’s inexpensive relatively and you go in and you sit down with the doctor and they spend the entire hour sitting down and chatting with you to see what’s wrong to see how they can help and they really get to know you
in the united states it’s uh 10 minutes it’s it’s in and out it’s a as quickly as they can possibly get you in and out and you don’t you don’t feel like you have that connection with the doctors in the United States as you do here in Brazil and they they ask you to come in for a follow-up visit and and that’s included in your in your first visit so we use a combination of private health care and also the pro the public health care here in Brazil. This is kind of a hot topic so let us
- know your thoughts and opinions in the comments about your experiences with brazilian healthcare. Number
- five, cost of living in brazil is very affordable! We live in a very nice home we eat very well and we we put our
- kids through homeschooling, private schooling, we have our own teacher and all of this is very affordable and
- we could not live we could not have this lifestyle the same lifestyle that we have now in the United States so
- we really enjoy the elevated lifestyle that we live here in Brazil I would say that our our
rent is for sure less than half of what we’d be paying in the United States and we wouldn’t have all the luxuries that we have here as well so there’s actually a lot of places in Brazil that are cheaper than Rio de Janeiro which is where we live so leave in the comments where’s the best place to live in Brazil is it the north the south where’s the cheapest place to live because even though we live in Rio de Janeiro which is one of the most expensive places to live in Brazil and
