Living In The Favela of Rio de Janeiro - Expat Life in Brazil with Henry 'Rio' Montalto
Living in a favela of Rio de Janeiro and talking about expat life in Brazil is what we will be discussing in this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter hosted by Rafael Di Furia (@RafaelDiFuria) with special guest Henry 'Rio' Montalto aka @experience.rio on Instagram. Henry is an American who moved to Brazil and made Rio de Janeiro his home in the Vidigal community, one of the most famous Brazilian 'slums'. Henry has made a full life for himself in Rio and lives there with his Brazilian wife and their son and works as a tour guide showing the 'real' Rio. Living abroad and expat life come with their own challenges, but living in brazil as an expat in one of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro comes with a number of other challenges... but are they worth it? What are the pros and cons of living in Brazil? In the future, I look forward to talking with more people who are living in Brazil as a foreigner and to talk more about moving to Brazil.
