I've been living in Brazil for 14 years now. Re-invented the wheel with the absurd bureaucracy in this country more times than I care to remember since coming here, because there was nobody to ask for information. That's why I accepted Julien's invitation to volunteer for the expat.com Experts Team. With the experience I've gained through dealing with that great bureaucratic machine here I have become possibly the foremost source of accurate information about all aspects of life in, living in and immigrating to Brazil that there is. At least this is what I hear from hundreds and hundreds of expat.com members.

Actually I'm relatively new to Macaé (June 2012). I have lived in a number of cities since I came to Brazil in 2002; Manaus - AM, São Paulo - SP; Belo Horizonte - MG and surrounding areas, Porto Seguro - BA. I have also visited Espirito Santo and the Distrito Federal.
The Brazilian people, culture,food and history.
The bureaucracy that suffocates foreigners and Brazilians alike. The extremes of the very rich and very poor - the great social injustice in this country
