Have been considering moving to Brazil, but worried about crime, please advise?
I have been thinking about a couple of things. One is just buying up property (beachfront land) in Brazil (Natal area) and the other is maybe moving to Brazil. If I moved to Brazil I would have to live in either Rio or Sao Paolo as that is where the work is for me (most likely Rio). I currently live in China where violent crime is almost non-existent and I quite enjoy this. I do want to move though and Brazil is one of the few places that is up and coming and I can make good money and property prices are coming up etc. It's just the crime. Should I be so worried about it? What is your experience?

Singapore would be the safest.

You should take risk! Whole life is full of risks, you are not a coward and you shouldnt worry about that. There are millions of people out there, and most of the Brazilians quite nice people

Brazil is definitely an emerging country with a good economy. There is crime everywhere. You need to get a realtor to help you find a location that is safe. The poorer areas are less safe. Put yourself in a nice district and take care you don't get lost. I like China too. Very little crime. Jobs on cruise ships would be a good experience just to travel and see the world. I met someone on a cruise who was so excited because after six months he was cruising to Europe. The cruise companies give you time to explore and get to know many places.

Why Brazil? They certainly don't need nor want you over there? Why not to stay in your own country, that's the place where you should always be?

I live in Brazil 17 years. but I live in central-western' Brazil. The city of Natal is very beautiful and has a lot of crime. The cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is really very dangerous. Come to Brazil, but will live in medium-sized cities.

Why would you buy property in Natal & then move to Rio? Have you looked at a map of Brasil or are you day dreaming?
