Hello,

While moving to a new country and discovering new cultures is definitely an exciting adventure, everybody experiences it differently. It can be particularly different for women, in both positive and negative ways.

What are some positive aspects about being a female expat in Brazil?

What are some challenges in Brazil that women face, and what are the ways to overcome them?

How is a woman's role viewed in Brazilian's culture and society?

Is it relatively safe for a woman to live in Brazil?

How would a woman go about expanding her social network in a safe way?

Are there any resources available for women to help with their expatriation (e.g. books, articles, support networks, etc.)?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

Hi Pricilla,

Interesting post. I think a lot depends on your personal situation. Are you coming to live in Brazil with your family or as a single woman? Are you going to be working and in what type of area?

Best wishes,
Nikola
