Well, I did it. Sold all my stuff and car in San Francisco after living there for 8 yrs. Then took 3 suitcases back to New York, left them and got one backpack and a one way ticket to Rio. Crazy to compress all one's belongings to one backpack (with some gadgets/gear) but feels great.
Hopefully I'll be out of country for 6-12 months.
Right now I'm in Sao Conrado (10 mins from Ipanema) but I look forward to getting an apt in Ipanema and staying here for a month or two, doing some brazilian jiu jitsu, learning portuguese and chilling for a bit.
I've been speaking to people in Spanish and in exchange I can understand like 70% of the Portuguese spoken back to me.
I know speakeasy will be here shortly, but if anyone else is passing through, make yourself heard.
