My first visit to Brazil where I met the coolest people on the planet!

Fun Facts About Brazilian People: 

  • Surprisingly, most of the people in Brazil live in a few concentrated areas, leaving much of the country uninhabited.
  • Primary language – Portuguese.
  • Brazil population – 194,000,000.
  • 2/3 of the Brazilian population is under 29 years of age.
  • They’re a multi-racial culture.
  • Brazilians don’t appreciate being spoken to in Spanish.
  • A few smaller populations speak derivatives of the Indian language.
  • Don’t be surprised if you’re speaking with a Brazilian and they enter your personal space or tend to touch your arm, shoulder, or hand when talking with you.
  • Family is at the core of Brazilian people – much of their social activities focus on family relationships.
  • They love to dance!
  • Business people in Brazil prefer face-to-face contact rather than the impersonal e-mail or phone call. Most times, they won’t do business with someone they’ve never met or don’t trust.
  • These people are willing to give to others, even if they don’t have much to give – very sweet and selflessly generous.
