Moving to Rio in 2 weeks!!

Hi Steve,

Welcome to Expat-blog, you'll love Brazil I'm sure - after all, we all do!

I'm a Canadian who has been living in Brazil for over ten years now. During the years I have lived in several Brazilian cities, Manaus - AM, São Paulo - SP, Belo Horizonte - MG, Porto Seguro - BA and now I have recently moved to Macaé - RJ which is about a three hour drive north of Rio.

I learned Portuguese back in Vancouver before coming to Brazil, became fluent in 7 months, through a lot of study and many hours online. In the ten years here I have perfected my fluency to the point where I do complex translations and also teach the language to other foreigners. If you have Skype and are interested maybe we can set up some classes to get you on your way with the language. Have a look at my webpage, you might find it of interest.
