Brazil is one of the most magical places I’ve ever visited. It resonates so much with me as a person - the music, food, people. Everything is so colorful and warm. I visited Salvador da Bahia, Buzios, Morro de São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro. I would recommend brushing up on some Portuguese before you go, as it’s not always assumed that people know English. Salvador doesn’t have any nonstop flights from the USA, but you should go nevertheless, Bahia is beautiful - the people, the beaches, the music. I definitely felt safe, but don’t carry your phone around openly or wear any gadgets or flashy jewelry in cities, as this leaves you susceptible to thieves.
Posted: December 18, 2023I have positive memories of Brazil, but we didn't go out in the evenings. In the Amazon, it was quiet and peaceful, without people. In Fortaleza - it's a typical resort and quite decent (even in the evenings it was peaceful). In Rio, we limited ourselves to sightseeing during the day and time on the beach, avoiding the slums. In Paraty, it was very touristy, with many people from Europe.
Posted: October 4, 2023It was my first time travelling alone. I spent a few days in São Paulo and a few in Rio. It was an incredible journey, and Brazil is a beautiful country with delicious food, great entertainment, and friendly people. I was cautious during my journey for safety reasons, but I never felt in danger (I was with a Brazilian friend and we stayed in safe places). I can't wait to return and discover more of this country.
Posted: August 4, 2023I fell in love with Brazil during my visit in November. I was in Sao Paulo and Rio and I definitely recommend seeing both of these cities. I traveled with my best friend and we felt very safe. She was running in the morning, and I was walking alone for a few hours one day and felt very comfortable. Coming from New York, I found everything to be very affordable, from hotels to meals and transportation. The local residents are incredibly friendly and made us feel at home.

I traveled with a volunteering organization. It’s a beautiful country with the most welcoming locals. Beautiful beaches. I stated in Rio de Janeiro, I’d definitely go back.
Posted: April 13, 2023I was in Brazil for 10 days. I went there with my best friend to Manaus (Amazon), Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls (both sides). I must admit, I had some concerns about this trip: mosquitoes (despite yellow fever vaccination), fear of robbery, choice of food and slippery paths around the waterfalls. But none of this happened. We both enjoyed the trip very much and have a much more positive opinion about Brazil. I had been to Peru, Argentina, Chile before and was interested in visiting the largest country in this region and I also wanted to see the statue of Christ the Redeemer.

I’m in Rio for a month (April) and looking for friends! :) I love travel and adventure, shopping, museums, yoga, café dates and bar nights, and chill beach days! I’m hoping to explore Rio with some other lovely women!

Hi there! I am Verena, I am 30 years old and I am living in Germany. I am open minded and love to meet new people and get to know more about different cultures. I am very interested in having some adventures and doing active things like hiking, biking, climbing and other sporty activities. Besides, having some drinks, relaxing at the beach or doing some party/dance belongs to my favourites as well. Cheers, Verena :)
