Hello everyone, I'm Jim. I am an American that moved to Brazil. As an expat I am learning what it is like to live in another country. What the rural life in Brazil is like. Small community living. Sightseeing and exploring the smaller quaint cities. Things to do in the state of Santa Catarina. If you are thinking of moving to Brazil and you want to live in the country, I hope to shed some light on what life is like. Getting here is the first step, and that involves residency, buying land, possibly bringing pets and establishing your CPF and bank accounts.
