Why I left the big city to move to the beach!
I had the great fortune of hearing about this group from a friend of mine in London who told me to check this place out and I’m glad I did. It seems to have a really cool community and plenty of good posts.
Just a little a bit about myself. I’m a British guy living in Brazil in a small place called Iriri (yes that’s a difficult name to say!). You can see a picture of one of the beaches below. I’m actually from London but five years ago, I decided to take the big step of moving to my wife’s home town in Brazil. I didn’t know much Portuguese and I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into but from my only holiday here, I liked the people and the place!
Just so you get an idea of where I am. I live about a 6 hour drive from Rio de Janeiro. The nearest city is about an hour from where I am. So I’ve decided to move to a place as different to London as possible. Some people might think I’m crazy but I got tired of living in a big city. Everything is about work, work, work and that’s partly because everything is so damn expensive in London! It's still a great place with some amazing places to visit but not for me at this time in my life.
There are some places where life goes at a slower pace and that’s why I moved to Iriri.
I run an English school with my wife and during the summer months, we rent houses and manage a hotel. This has all come about through a bit of luck and a willingness to try new things. I fell into the Cryptocurrency world because my brother was obsessed with these currencies although it took me a while (2 years) to take them seriously. But now I understand what they are and how they work, I’m really keen to spread the word. My brother even helped me to set up a GPU mining rig.
Aims of this blog
- If you have any questions about Brazil and living there, feel free to ask.
- If you have any questions about virtual currencies, I also know a bit about those too.
- If you have any questions about learning English or Portuguese, then I can help too!
What can I help you learn?
Before I start making more content, I would love to hear from you about what the topics you would like to learn more about. What do want to know about Brazil? Is it as dangerous as the news says it is? Are Brazilians football crazy? What questions or concerns do you have about the region or visiting here? Thank you in advance for your input！

Thanks @abroadlife. I found your intro post interesting and useful. I used it to help me write my one! Yeah we should definitely help people understand these countries better and support each other.
Hello Andyman... Tell us about your experience with cryptocurrencies in Brazil... Are many Brazilians aware of Bitcoin, etc? And please tell us how "safe" do you feel? Are there many thieves, as we saw in Rio during the soccer championship? And tell us about how do you like the music, samba, bossa nova, etc.
Hi @rejuvenation. These are all good questions. I will make a post about it soon!
