Wife and I have always planned to eventually buy property in Brazil, but with all this lockdown craziness we recently started looking a bit harder, just in case things start to really go even more sideways here in Canada that they already are...
Brazil is crazy too but there are still many places that nobody really cares about and seems to be escaping the politics for the most part. We have friends in similar small towns where they say covid just doesn't exist, no lockdowns nothing, even if on paper the state says so. You can grow food there all year round, surf all year round, a place with a bit of land and maybe even mostly off-grid in Brazil is sounding sweeter and sweeter.
The question is - where in Brazil? It's a big country, lots to consider. Well after many years of exploring and researching, I think I am finally considering a location.
I have not been there yet but have travelled up and down the coast pretty far, I've been through Bahia and know more or less what it's like. I know the coast in Sao Paulo state too, how it's different, and I've been further north as well around Natal where it is much more dry, less forest, less mountains, and no surfing
Itacare is far enough away from major cities, but close enough to airports etc so travelling to and from Canada is not so brutal. It's 1.5 hours away from a major airport, Ilheus. I'm guessing from Toronto I would land in Sao Paulo, connect to Ilheus, then 1.5 hours drive. I can handle that a couple times a year.
Wonder if there is any jiu jitsu around there.
Anyways
change my mind, lol
ITACARE, BRAZIL
