1-Month in Floripa
I thoroughly enjoyed my first month and first time experience with remote year. Thiago and Cata were a fantastic team! They both went above and beyond as community leaders/managers. They both brought positive community and culture to my experience. I am forever grateful to have crossed paths in life with both of these amazing humans in the world.
Floripa is a beautiful island for those interested in beaches, surf, fishing and more. The accommodations were better than expected and offered convenience. Join the experiences to get the most of the island and visit Rio! Each experience will take you to a different part of the island and you will see it all if you join them all.
Things to note: accommodations are in the center of floripa, not by a beach or on water. If you are looking for beach life, there is a Selina near by (30mins) take a day and work from there to enjoy the beach.
The town closes down on certain days of the week, so be prepared to stay in or go to the beach/outdoors during those days.
There is a pool, small gym, sauna, laundry, coworking and restaurants in the building.
Local restaurants/shops and bars are walkable- venture out.
Uber is your way around - download the app, itโs easy.
Safety** you are as safe as you make yourself. Donโt be a target and youโll be finer than wine.
Some might read this like oh sheโs a 20 something, probably travels all time, rent free, single, women.
Nope! I am married in my 30s, have a mortgage, 2 dogs and work full time. I traveled alone, budgeted for my trip ahead of time and took a few days off while I was on my journey.
So you can do it too, I hope this helps to whoever you are that is debating the ifs/ands/buts. Positive mind will bring positive vibes.
