At First Brazil Feels Perfect… Then Reality Sets In

When I moved to Brazil, I thought I was just changing where I lived… I didn’t realize I was stepping into something that would slowly change how I think, how I live… and even who I am. After almost 10 years living here, I can clearly see the stages I went through. Some of them were incredible. Some of them were frustrating. And some of them… I honestly didn’t expect. In this video, I walk through the real stages of moving to another country, from the honeymoon phase… to friction… to isolation… to finally building a life that feels like your own. This isn’t about travel. This is what it actually feels like to build a life in another country. If you’ve ever thought about moving to Brazil, or anywhere, this will give you a more honest picture of what that journey actually looks like. If you’ve lived abroad, I’d be curious… 👉 which stage are you in right now?
