Life in Retirement - Trading the Grind for the Good Life

Life in Brazil

After 62 years in the United States, I’ve made the leap to Brazil. Moving here has been a huge change, and I thought it would be fun to share some of my experiences in a multi‑part series. My goal isn’t just to say “the beaches are gorgeous” or “the food is incredible” (though both are absolutely true and deserve their own posts). Instead, I want to paint a picture of what daily life feels like, what you can expect, and how I found myself here.
