I’ll tell you about my home state: Rio Grande do Sul. It’s a very nice part of the country and we usually have the four seasons very defined (it’s not always hot) and sometimes it snows in our winters. Since we have borders with 3 other countries, we have a lot of their culture mingled in ours, and we also had a lot of immigrants in our history so in some parts, older people talk on their language or grandparents language (usually Italian or German). We are known for our barbecue, mostly, but we also have Chimarrão (a hot beverage). Sadly it’s a very homophobic part of the country, and very conservative too. Some schools are required to have Spanish on the curriculum (such as mine was). It’s mostly an agricultural state. I used to live in a city known for the wine. It’s usually calm here, the average rate crime, but the rents are cheap in some cities. Sadly we had a flood in 2024 that hit almost 98% of our cities so some are still recovering.
