Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site and found it purely by accident but have loved reading all your conversations about Brazil and particularly about Goiania.
I am a British citizen (originally from Bulgaria) and my husband is Brazilian. We live in England and have done so for the past 15 years. In the last few years I think we really got fed up with the cold weather and after visiting Brazil a few times we decided we want to move.
My husband comes from a very small town about 1 hour drive from Goiania. Naturally he wants to live there as he has a business to run with his father but I worry as to what I will do in such small place. I also have a 12 years old daughter who needs to go to school and later university hopefully so I can't really see her doing much in such a small place. I am thinking about Goiania but do worry about safety as mu husband keeps saying it is very dangerous.
We have enough cash to buy a house in Brazil outright so there will be no rent or mortgage to pay.
My biggest worry is finding a job. I have a degree in English Literature and Criminal Justice and years and years of Call Centre experience. I don't want to teach English as I just don't think I will be a good teacher. What other jobs could i do in Goiania that require English language? Are there any international companies which hire English speakers? The only other thought I had is to open a shop and sell clothes from UK. I love fashion and make up so maybe something in this sector. Any ideas and tips would be much appreciated
