This month, I had the honor of being a wedding guest at the most spectacular Sao Paulo ceremony. Are you planning on visiting soon? Here are five key takeaways from my adventure.
- Bargain Like a Boss. In Brazil, negotiation isn’t just an art; it’s a way of life. Even big-name stores like Zara and Lacoste are open to price haggling. Channel your inner dealmaker and score incredible savings on fashion, souvenirs, and more. It’s a wallet-friendly paradise.
- Cozy Rooms, Powerful Wi-Fi. While Brazilian rooms might be compact, fear not, digital nomads – the Wi-Fi is top-notch. Even airport lounges are equipped with dedicated work pods, ensuring you can work or relax in top comfort. Don’t forget your adapter!
- Affordable Indulgence. Prepare your taste buds and credit cards for a treat. Food, drinks, and Uber rides come with shockingly low price tags. Imagine a 20-minute Uber trip for just $3 or a hotel cocktail for $2.50! In Brazil, luxury doesn’t break the bank.
- Lost in Translation? Not Anymore! English is not the norm here, and you’ll definitely need the Google Translate App as your best friend. It’ll help you bridge language barriers and navigate Portuguese with ease. Conversing like a local has never been simpler.
- Warmth Beyond Words. Brazil’s people are as warm as its weather. Prepare to be charmed by the genuine friendliness of the locals. Striking up conversations with Uber drivers or baristas is par for the course. Embrace the Brazilian spirit.
Bom viagem!
