I have spent three years in Brazil off and on since 2005. I'm now trying to stay here permanently, and work as a translator and interpreter. I like Curitiba as a city, as it has access to good farmers' markets and food, is a nice size, relatively safe, etc. I do have a partner (Brazilian), and we spend quite a bit of time apart as he travels frequently. I'm hoping to meet other expats and Americans.
I joined expat.com on 20 November 2011.
