I'm just curious, I am moving to Parana and I have family down there already.聽 Whenever I read about Brazil the information comes mostly from states North of Parana like Rio and Sao paulo.聽 Very rarely do I find people from the south such as Santa Caterina, or Parana, or the famous city Curitiba.聽 I have been told this is because the living standards are higher there and country has a more European attitude so there is less negative things to say about it and less Americans live there.聽 My husband says his state and city are not like other famous Brazilian cities with bad reputations. I'm not saying its not the same country but different regions of a country can be substantially different is not even totally different.聽 I know here in the US that is true.聽 So its hard for me to get an accurate perspective on the area I'm moving to.聽 Any Brazilians below Sao Paulo state on here?

Hi Skarrlette, just wondering, are you still in Parana? I am asking for a Brazilian friend who lives in Toledo. She is looking for english conversation tutoring and I said I would search to see if I could find any english speakers around there.

Thanks! Lauren.

@skarrlette hi

im Brazilian I currently live in Oklahoma but I was born in a Small town in Paran谩 state and what you said it鈥檚 true about south of Brazil!

living expenses are much higher and people are more and people do have a different attitude! That can be positive and negative at the same time where

North and central people are friendly and happy south people can be very reserved about dangerous small towns are always safer!

Hi.. I currently living in Porto Alegre - RS. I'm studying law here and SC is the nearest state from here and I visited SC Couple of times and find it a bit reserved but friendly people if you interact with them, however you need to be patient and initiate the conversation yourself! If you can speak Portuguese then it's very easily doable.
