About Braziling

Brazilians writing the guide we wish our friends from abroad had.

Brazil is one of the warmest, most beautiful countries on Earth, and one of the most misunderstood. Most of what people read about it is either a brochure or a horror story. Neither is the Brazil we live in.

Braziling is honest about safety, clear about money and paperwork, and full of the small things that make Brazil, Brazil.

What we do

  • Free, in-depth articles about travelling and living in Brazil
  • A free phrasebook with audio for Brazilian Portuguese
  • PDF guides for first trips and for moving here

How we make money

Braziling is free to read. We earn money by selling our own guides and through affiliate links to services we use ourselves. That never changes what we write: if something isn't good, we say so. Read our disclosure.
