I didn't want/need to work Personal spending habits:
Well, things like food and accommodation are considerably cheaper. But one tends to go out more at night and travel in Brazil so you end up spending quite a bit here, but only because your doing it more. Nightlife, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Food, Travel, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Make sure your bank at your home country doesn't charge you a heavy transaction fee for cash withdrawals from brazilian ATMs. It varies from bank to bank. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal comments:
Actually, if you have a more powerful currency, it is a plus. Moreover, you can buy more anyway for the real. Things are already cheaper and then if you have more purchasing-power , even better. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
