You will not stay alone. The Floripa Long-Term 1+ Year Expats community is already waiting.

Past the one-year mark, members carry the kind of knowledge that only comes from actually living through a rainy season here: which office in Centro moves fastest, which pediatrician answers a call at midnight, and which festa junina is worth the drive. Friendships formed at this stage tend to last.
Group vibe
Rooted, protective of newcomers, quick to name the obvious scams before anyone falls for one.
