Yo, yeah lmao we’re definitely staying within the continental US.

I do hate to hear about the crimes rates in Brazil. I feel it’s a beautiful country with a beautiful culture as well. Always hoping the best for these regions and I think we will see them improve within our lifetimes so long as people continue to educate and spread awareness.

Oh, not. Brazil definitely have some peaceful places. It's a freaking huge place. Bigger than USA without Alaska. But cities like Rio, Salvador and Natal, are definitely not of then. It's like judging USA just for Detroit or new Orleans. Definitely dangerous places too, but not representative of all USA right. But yeah, I agreed with you. We deserve some peace hahahaha

Very true! Yeah I should’ve worded that differently and specified that high population cities are what fit the description. It’s easy to forget how large Brazil is as well, I never think of it being bigger than the continental US but yeah it surely is.

TIL Brazil is way bigger than I imagined. I thought maybe 2 New England. Maybe The size of France or Spain. South America looks a lot bigger in general with the size of Brazil under reconsideration.

What cities you looking at? Before Covid I traveled close to 100% for work and have spent a lot of time in most US cities

Las Cruces NM, Richmond VA, Ann Arbor Michigan, Chico California, and Tucson Arizona (deffo bottom of the list). We’re just looking for a 1-2 bedroom to establish ourselves. We’re leaning towards Las Cruces NM but crime makes us pretty weary. We don’t plan on having kids or anything like that and we have two cats. Around 52k income and I’m in between jobs currently but make anywhere from 19k-30k in the service industry and we have like 6 thousand saved up with another 3-4 thousand by the time we move.

The future is in medium small cities. The big ones are too expensive and dangerous. Unfortunately.
