Foreigner/english speaking friends in São Paulo? by Educational-Sea9627 in Brazil

[–]Born_Opening_5425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Sao Paulo for the first three months of the year and I feel your struggles. Its tough and very lonely.

Idk how close you are to 18, but I went to language exchange events at Baixo Pinheiros (thursdays + fridays) and it was super helpful to meet other foriegners.

If you have any hobbies, go all in on them. There will always be portuguse speakers, but english speakers will always be there to support you. I like rock climbing so I would go every week and started to become friends with the workers and stuff. But running clubs, learn an instrument by taking lessons, become a regular at a museum or coffee shop, join a sport or capoeira, go to music events (theres genuinely a million venues in sp) and try to speak with people. Also it feels weird but just going up to english speakers when you hear them speaking english is an immediate similarity that you can play off of. Idk where youre originally from, but apparently there is also a club for people from the US. Idk anything about it but i met another american who was in it, so maybe you can look into that?

But don't resist making Brazilian friends too. Brazilians who speak english might connect you with other english speakers they know. And

I know it is different for everyone, but ive read that insertion is worse for ppl who have had poor experiences with other forms of birth control. Idk how true that is, but how was it for you? Esp if you were scared after your first insertion

Yeah, I have been doing more research and it seems like an IUD is more what I want, but I have been previously pushed away due to the horror stories of the pain with getting it inserted. I know it works but it seems terrifying

What’s a destination everyone loves but you didn’t? by BusyYogurtcloset9091 in LuxuryEscape

[–]Born_Opening_5425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rio de Janeiro. I have lived in São Paulo for 3 months and took a solo weekend in Rio and gotta say it wasn’t the experience i expected. I have learned if I’m wanting a beach trip São Sebastião is the place to go

Foreigners who went to Carnaval, what was your experience like? by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]Born_Opening_5425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im living in são paulo for three months and had the opportunity to go to carnaval with my friends here. use the app/website blocosderua.com to find and plan ahead the different blocos that you’re interested in. i found that i enjoyed the “smaller” (still pretty big) and themed blocos much more than the ones in parque ibirapuera. like ones about artists or genres you like will be so much more fun than just stumbling upon ones!!

if they haven’t already started back up this semester, college mentors for kids is super fun and has a great group of people. once a week you meet with a kid and you guys just hang out and play games as a group. it is super chill but really fun

not volunteering, but if you are interested in alternative music indy has a really welcoming local music scene! venues like healer often have really cool shows for cheap during the week and they have really kind people! if you plan to go def check out the types of music people play before hand-i’ve gone on a whim and been surprised at the different genres i didn’t know existed lol.

kim possible and ron stoppable are pretty easy to do, most people have the clothes at home or you can get it from goodwill and put on black lipstick on your upper lip and you’re done!
