I noticed that you said you have already been to Brazil on the group page and I was hoping if you had the time you could fill me in a little bit on what it is like. I am leaving in Aug and this will be my first time volunteering abroad, I am excited but a little nervous haha. I would love to hear any information or stories that you have

It's great that you enjoy being in Brazil. Where abouts is the place that you live in now? Is it by the beach?

At 3:43pm on May 31, 2009, sn said…: Hey Amanda. As it turns out, I signed up for Brazil for a couple of weeks! Did I read in your reply that you're moving to Brazil permanently or are you going back for another stint?

At 3:59pm on May 23, 2009, Henry Harper said…: Ola linda! Sorry I've not been back in touch for ages, been away working at a festival for what seems like a lifetime! So cool to hear you are moving to Brazil! You must be going crazy right now with excitement and anticipation! Thank you for all your info about the projects in salvador, that was really helpful. Your project sounds brilliant and its great to hear you talk so positively about your experiences. I'm thinking of going to Sao Paulo in September to do a language course and work on my Portuguese and then go up to Salvador in November/December with CCS for 3 months. What are your plans? I was under the impression that Brazil was quite a difficult country to find work in as a foreigner? Is that the case? Anyway good luck with the move, I hope its not too stressful and hopefully we'll meet in the sunshine of Salvador later this year! :) x

-Thanks!

At 7:34am on May 17, 2009, Lena Anderson said…: You know Amanda, I did receive an email from one of the volunteers I was there with who is also employed by CCS about an opportunity teaching english, but it was in the south of Brazil, and I soooo want to go back to Salvador....and the position started a little too soon for me. I do plan to take an ESL course this summer actually, and I want to be back in Salvador by January. I'm so excited for you. Have a great time while you're there. =)

At 8:04pm on May 15, 2009, Lena Anderson said…: Hey Amanda, I saw your posting about moving to Brazil. I too left my heart there when I volunteered back in December for two weeks. I am trying to make a move there by January 2010. What's your action plan when you go or are you just gonna devise a plan once you get there? I'd be itnerested to know. I think I'm too worried about having a job when I get there....that maybe I should just save up a bit and worry about work when I get there. Lemme know! =)

At 9:18pm on April 23, 2009, Henry Harper said…: Hey Amanda! Really cool to hear from you! So you have been to Salvador once before? I'd love to hear some of you stories about the project you worked in, the people you met and the other volunteers you worked with. I guess you had a pretty good time there if you have already signed up to go back! Hopefully if I get my shit together we'll meet in sunny salvador later this year!

At 8:08pm on April 2, 2009, Nicolette Drummond said…: Hey there Amanda! I noticed the comments you left in the Brazil group. Did you have time to write a travel blog or anything like that? If so, I'd love to check it out. I will be heading that way (God willing) on 9/26 for only two weeks. I have never traveled outside of the U.S. so I think this experience will definitely be a memorable one! Get back at me, k? Thanks!
