Sam Kaufman- Ask A Gringo: Let's Talk Brazil 🇧🇷

Thinking about moving to Brazil or spending time there—but not sure where to start?

When I was in your shoes, I had a thousand questions and no one to ask. That’s why I created this service: to give you the real answers I wish I had before moving.

Since moving to Brazil, I’ve built a channel with over 180,000 followers teaching people about Brazil — from hidden gems and cultural tips to what life here is really like. I’ve also helped countless gringos take the leap and make their Brazil dream a reality.

Whether you’re planning a long-term move or just testing it out, I’ll help you skip the stress and feel confident about your next steps.

What are some common topics we cover?
📄 What visa do I actually need, and how do I get it?
💰 Can I really live here on $1,000 a month — or is that a myth?
🔐 Is Brazil safe, or am I going to get robbed the second I land? (Plus tips on how to actually avoid getting robbed and stay street-smart here)
🌆 Where’s the best place to live based on my lifestyle?
🏠 How do I rent an apartment here without being Brazilian?
💻 Can I work remotely from Brazil — is the internet reliable?
🗣️ Do I really need to speak Portuguese, or can I just wing it with English and Google Translate?
❤️ What’s dating like in Brazil? Is it actually different from the U.S. or Europe?
🤝 How do I make friends with Brazilians — will I fit in?
🏥 What’s the healthcare situation — do I need private insurance?
🤯 Will I feel culture shock, and how do I deal with it?

If you’re nodding along to any of those — you’re not alone.

This one-on-one call is fully customized to you. We’ll talk through the topics you care about most, whether they’re on that list or totally unique to your situation. No question is too specific, and no topic is off limits.

Book a 30- or 60-minute one-on-one call.
I’ll give you the honest, experience-based guidance I wish someone had given me when I first came here.

✅ No fluff
✅ No outdated advice
✅ Just honest help from someone who’s actually done it

Let’s get your Brazilian journey started with clarity and confidence!
