I've met some Awesome guys in Brazil using Grindr. One guy I still hope to meet again! I remember him telling me he was only in Brazil for a short time to earn some money. On my final night in Brazil he came to visit and had a friend tag along with him. That was a night I will never forget. I can still remember almost every inch of their bodies and if I try a little, I can remember their voices.. Grindr never failed me when it came to meeting guys, be it free or for $. I am sure when I return, Grindr will be the first app I will be using. My favorite ways to meet guys over the internet in Brazil.

Great advice! My first stop is Sao Paulo but I am sure your advice can be considered universal for the most part. ⭐ (Gold Star)

In 2019 during my visit to Brazil, I used upgraded my (USA) T-Mobile service for international use. I think it cost me an Extra $25 USD to allow me to have 3G internet on my phone while in Brazil. It worked fine for the most part but it lost signal in the Subway. For those of you that didn't know, if you use google maps to guide you while on the subway, if it has internet connectivity, I till tell you waht direction to walk as you are underground headed to your train and it will tell you what stops the train is at and when to get off the train. It's pretty helpful for me with my vision problems... I am wondering what the local Sim Card's offer? I will be in Brazil for a little over 2 weeks in Sao Paulo and Rio. Any advice or reference links you could share on local Cellphone service would be appreciated.

I just booked my tickets to Sao Paulo and Rio for October so I am thirsty for any info on SP or Rio nightlife.

Can anyone offer up some advice on getting the required covid tests before your flight out of Brazil? Im wondering how difficult it is to get or how much legwork is required? Or is there an abundance of testing sites all over the tourist area that can provide the testing documentation needed?

Just before covid the price for beers in the gogos was approaching 500 baht... Have the prices retreated any?

What happened to the update? I could use a bit of a Rio heat memoir.

I love paying taxes

Right now I have only looked at long-term Airbnb rentals and a few property rentals on Viva local. I found some very nice furnished places for less than $30 a day if rented for 3 months on Airbnb. As far as my health goes I am flexible on that but they will not be getting it as their private home because I will be coming and going with little notice. But they will be expected to maintain the lawn and stay on top of any minor repairs. I am not sure if I will ask a friend or a family member to take on that burden. This morning when I woke up I was thinking of just living at home and taking monthly trips to wherever the wind blows. That may be my first year of retirement. Im also wondering what work I can do from my laptop to keep myself focused and my mind active? I may try to do something in the crypto field since it's a new growth area. As for now I'm still at the chalkboard taking note of the best ideas and suggestions.

Thanks to some investments in crypto currencies, I am in the position to consider an early retirement and I am thinking of spending a good portion of my time in Brazil. This idea has me wondering if there is any advice from others in the Gay community on Retiring in Brazil? I have not decided if I plan to spend most of my days in Brazil or spend it hopping around the world from country to country every 3 months? Something like 3 months in Thailand, 3 months in Brazil, 3 months in Vietnam & Cambodia and 3 months in the USA... At this point I am simply exploring my options and wondering out loud what I should do before I put a serious plan together. I know it may seem like I am rushing things and a month ago I would not even think about it retirement for another 5 years or so but after watching my investment grow and one of my investment buddies just announce his retirement today.... It has me wondering what I am waiting for? I don't like to take risks and I know I could lose half my investments and still be ok. I would not even need to touch my investments for 2 or 3 years from the un-invested savings I have. Still, I am worried about the unknown, but I think I just want to be sure I am ready and besides, the best time to enjoy life is NOW.... Right? Well, right now, besides all that stuff from above, I am trying to figure out my monthly Budget as well as my housing budget. If I can get a better deal on a 4 month lease in a building and it works out that I can get a Visa that works well related to the lease then I would bend to that advantage and go with the flow... I plan to keep my house here in the USA. I am not sure if I will lock it down while I am away or if I will allow a friend to live in it for me and just pay the utilities they use and maintain the place so that I will have a place to come back to when I am in the USA for my short stay. I may even keep my car... But that may change. At this point, I am too young to touch my 401K and there won't be any Social Security coming my way till I am at least 62 and I would have to consider getting my own medical insurance. All that being said... For those of you who have quit your jobs and retired to Brazil, what advice do you have?

I prefer the boy from Ipanema

Being in a Brazil sauna and not allowed to engage with hottest guys available while Dear Boyfriend is working.... This must be what Hell is like...

Thanks for the reports and keep them coming! I've been stuck here in the USA for over a year and had to cancel 3 or 4 trips since. I was willing to venture out until my employer read us all the riot act regarding travel outside of the country. I could travel to a few places but going to Brazil was a "No-No!" Going there could put my job at risk and going to Thailand would mean that I would spend my entire vacation in quarantine ending in time for me to fly back home. Reading your adventures is a welcome change reminding me of the possibilities that await me this summer.

I'm wondering if anyone read this thread back in 2017 and figured they would put a little money in Bitcoin and held onto it?

Doubt that would happen, but if the gay men get hugged up with the male staff... Bthat could happen. This is just a chat for shots and giggles. A bar will do what it has to to stay profitable.

I wonder how straight people feel when us gays visit their bars and shops.

This is one of the guesses from a guy on Twitter . I use Google translate to translate it to English

It was a pic I came across in my gay Twitter feed. The poster often posts army guys in underwear or flashing their endowments. He posted one hot video of a army guy in short, sitting and cutting into some meat. His legs are ooen and if you looked closely, you saw more than he bargained for haha.

Anyone care to guess what these guys are waiting for? I think this is Bangkok? [IMG]https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/ba/fb/zM4H2p34_t.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

When I was in brazil, my guard was up the first few days but days later I was strolling the dark deserts streets of Ipanema brazil. But if I keep my mouth shut I can be mistaken for a local. In Thailand I'm often asked if I'm military or police haha!

I guess I have champagne taste and Beer barrel pockets..

I've had cash and belongings stolen from me in Bangkok and Pattaya bit I got the lock box for Brazil. If I come back to Thailand I'll bring it with me since it's light and could come in handy. I also forgot to mention the times people attempted to pick my pockets in Phuket and Bangkoks DJ station.

All anyone needs is time and knowledge to empty any safe or walk away with any luggage. The lock box I purchased is used as a gun safe for the car or home. I look at it as a speed bump to slow down any potential theft. I added the motion alarm to it to notify me if it was tampered with while I was sleeping or on another room. I guess you can say I purchased peace of mind. I was with a poster here when their room safe in Pattaya stopped working. A service call was made and it took the guy less than 15 minutes to pop the safe open and put it back together as if he was never there.

While planning for my vacation I did not know if the places I was staying had a room safe or not. When I contacted the hosts of my Airbnb they would answer every question I asked but would not answer my question regarding a safe in the room. So before I arrived I ordered a lock box to keep my passport in credit cards safe.
