I’ve been to Salvador many times! DM with questions. I have a friend who lives there now and I would happy to hook you up with her. The city feels like Nee Orleans in Brazil. Amazing architecture and art and music scene is one of the best in the world. What is not to love?!?

Florianópolis! Incredible! Party. Beach, good food. Europe in Brazil, it's safe and there are many tourists. It's expensive. But it's amazing, it's a safer Brazil. Santa Catarina - Florianópolis, Balneário Camboriú, Jurerê Internacional.

Posted: December 21, 2025The boardwalk in front of Iracema beach is peaceful, beautiful, and has a wide variety of foods. However, you need to be careful with the cars, as they drive at high speeds and do not respect pedestrian crossings. The beach is not suitable for swimming and is also dangerous.

Overall, the trip was great. I traveled with my sister and her partner, and even though we sometimes went out together or separately, I felt pretty safe, always sticking to the quieter areas I knew were quieter. In the afternoon and at night, you can walk around Copacabana or along Rio's waterfront. However, I don't recommend going to Celarón at night. Many people say it's a great place to party. I've also heard many terrible stories about being mugged, intimidated, or otherwise attacked. You should definitely visit the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon, as well as Praia Vermelha....

São Paulo is not really safe, you must pay attention to your luggage, purse, cellphone all the time when you're walking, mostly in touristic places and at night. When you are by yourself, avoid using your phone in the street or earphones, so you don't risk losing your phone.

Florianópolis is a safe place when we're talking about robberies and assaults, but not 100% safe when we're talking about violence against woman. Stay together is our best way to keep safe and care about ourselves.

Its not the safest city in Brazil but it's cole to the countryside so it's not that dangerous, nothing compared to São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro for example. You have to be careful but you can hold your cellphone while walking on the street.

In Brazil in general, and also here in Porto Alegre, where I live, it’s important to keep your belongings very close to you at all times, like your phone, bag, and wallet. Stay aware of the area you’re walking in and pay attention to the people around you. If you notice someone watching you too closely, something might happen. It’s safer to walk around if you’re accompanied, not all areas of Porto Alegre are like this, but to be on the safe side, having someone with you is better. Avoid walking alone at night, especially in downtown Porto Alegre. Stick to busier, well-lit areas. During the...

I love meeting new people and I'm looking to help girls who need tips or are staying here in the city! It's a little dangerous for outsiders here, but it's beautiful and a lot of fun! I'm an actress in training and I love art as a whole, it's full of it here! I don't speak English fluently, but I'm willing to make new friends even with this obstacle ;)

Hi I am Sara, passionate for slow travel and getting to experience the world. I believe that the most important exchange is the one that happens between 2 human beings open to share and to listen to each other. I would be pleased to learn from you and contribute to your path as well 🤗 I studied business and have worked for different companies over the years, while dedicating time also to volunteering in education and environmental causes. Recently, I realized I no longer want to work just for profit — I want my work to have real meaning. I’m now hoping to find a paid role in a nonprofit organization. In the meantime, I’ll be living a new adventure as an au pair in Europe, making time to explore, learn new things, meet amazing people, and keep volunteering whenever I can. 🥰🌈

Hi, I’m Ana, a 27-year old Brazilian girl who has her heart open to what life has to offer. I’m a Sagittarius moon and sun, so you would expect me to have wheels on my feet, but I’m also a Scorpio rising, which gives me the interest to get to know people deeply. (Yes, I love astrology and would love to read you your birth chart for fun.) I’m interested in getting to know people from around the world, so hit me up if you are in São Paulo, but I’m also going to Europe in July and would love to meet up or even stay with you for a few days ☺️ I’ve done couchsurfing before and always had a wonderful experience, so I hope you feel comfortable to stay with me too!
