My wife and I were looking to do something similar now that I’m retired. I came here to read about your goal of setting up a permanent “Base Camp” in Spain so that you could continue your travels and enjoy life to the fullest.

Related: Why we didn’t like Rio de Janeiro Have you been to Brazil? What was your experience? But this was our experience and I think its important to tell it as it is.
Maybe our experience would be different if we returned tomorrow. I’m sorry to be negative and I don’t mean to offend any Brazilians reading this. It is a beautiful country.Īgain, this is just my opinion based on 2 1/2 weeks travelling within a small part of Brazil. My dislike for Brazil has nothing to do with the geography. I loved the combination of mountains/ocean in Rio province and was impressed by Iguazu. Despite my comments, there was incredible geographical beauty in all the places we went.“ Caipirinha” is an amazing drink and I loved it.Yeah: dead, reincarnated, and gay – the only way I’ll come back to Brazil. Maybe I’ll come back to Brazil if I’m gay in my next life. Lissette suggests that Brazil would be a great place for a single woman. Surprisingly, it’s the Brazilian men who are very good looking.Colombian women are still the hottest Latin ladies in my books. I’ve seen tons of photos of beautiful Brazilian women but they must have all gone indoors when we were there. Brazil was the one place where I felt that I could be mugged in broad daylight and where locals and authorities wouldn’t even budge to help you. I can count on one hand the number of people who would respond with a smile or who weren’t brusque in their manner. I would ask someone a question and they would respond but would do it addressing Lissette (maybe because she’s brown?). But when I, as an individual, have some Brazilian woman intentionally hitting me with her luggage cart (twice) at the airport, I start taking it personally. I know Brazilians are upset about the Visa fees imposed on any Brazilian citizen wanting to visit the USA.We can all look at other countries and disagree with their policies or politics. My best theory is that it’s political, specifically anti-American sentiment due in part to the whole Visa situation. Is it because Lissette and I are a mixed raced couple? (I don’t think so because Brazilians are pretty mixed anyway). Is it because I’m Caucasian, and that they confuse me as being an American? (I’m Canadian). I’ve thought about it a lot, wondering what it could have been.
