I've done a fair bit of traveling in Brazil.As a result I have a word of advice.
Don't.
What makes you say that?
My research indicates that both Brazil and Aregentina are both amazingly “modernized and/or westernized” and that most places there are relatively safe.
I’ve also heard a fellow with some savings and a good work ethic can make a great financial life there.
Convince me why I’m wrong.... (seeking views and information)
