Your Problem can be very easily resolved. Jump on a plane and go, you will never regret it.....you may never come back too.
. Brasil has so much to offer, it's a incredible country. But don't go to Rio try something different like Florinopolis or Bahia. I am woking my way back to live down there again. I enjoy the culture and people. Plus my wife's family is down there so it's easy.
