Is there corruption in Brazil? Are there drugs, violence, theft, corruption? This is
something we need to talk about. I get a ton of comments that are like, you guys
are crazy, go back to your country, Brazil is terrible, Brazil is horrible. Why would you
ever move here. I got a comment last week on our Walmart video that was the
last straw. I was like, this question needs to be addressed and we need to
explain ourselves. We came here for a few different reasons. First we wanted to
experience culture. Something very different and exciting and colorful and
flavorful. So we chose Salvador because of that reason. We wanted to expose our
children to diversity so that they have the opportunity to learn and grow and
hopefully change and help people. We also wanted them to be bilingual. I want to be
bilingual. We are all studying Portuguese. It's a beautiful language and we are
really excited to learn it. But we also came here to start a business. We will be
opening up a trampoline park in Salvador and we're so excited. We're just a few
months away from opening our doors. we came because we know the Brazilians
like to party and we came to have fun with them! I read every single comment.
I take the time to put them in the translator. Translate it to English, read
it, respond, translate that back to Portuguese. So that I can communicate
with the Brazilians and everyone who's watching our channel. It's really
important to me and I love to engage with you guys. So this Brazilian left
this comment on my video and it says: My god what drives someone to make the most
foolish decision that can be made. This family should have more responsibility
for these poor children, born in a developed country, in the land full of
opportunities. Now they have to grow up in the worst place on the face of the
earth. In a place that kills 10 times more than the war of Syria. Without education,
without health, without opportunities. Listen, the United States of America is
not perfect. There are drugs, corruption, struggle, poverty. All those things are
there too. We came here to provide a wonderful experience for
our children and I believe in the Brazilians. So this same person leaves
another comment and goes on to say: Have these parents watched the news for one day
here in Brazil? Homicides, pedophiles, rapists, drug dealers, drug addicts,
militiamen, corruption, scammers, all in great numbers ready to attack your
family. Go back to your land or go live in a country like Australia or
Switzerland. I hope nothing bad happens to you. I will put this family in my
prayers. Well the only thing I can say to that is, thank you for your prayers. We
will take them. I really think that you should have more faith in your
country and more faith in the people that live here. They think we're totally
crazy and the answer is yes! We are we are completely crazy, but here's why. We
want to offer so much more to our children. We know the United States is a
great place to live. Sure. We were comfortable there. It was
easy there but easy doesn't make you grow. Easy doesn't change you, easy
doesn't provide learning opportunities to grow and change and to help other
people. We want to show our kids that people live differently all over the
world. Let me explain a few things to you.
We are an American family from the United States. We have 5 children
and we sold our house our cars and everything we owned to come to Brazil.
We moved here 7 months ago and we plan to stay for at least 5 years.
We got permanent visas. Which was not easy to do! So if we love it, We'll stay
forever. We're leaving that open. You never know. I know that picking up and
moving our family to a new country to start completely over is crazy. But I
will tell you it has been the best experience of my life. I cried the
other day because my children were translating for me at the swimming pool.
They're learning another language. That is so beautiful and
that will serve them the rest of their lives. Also we have not had one single
problem here. We have not been robbed attacked, mugged, nothing not even one
little incident. We have been completely safe, comfortable and happy the entire
time Let me ask you a couple questions. Please comment because I really do
want to know what you think. If you had the opportunity to live in a new country
and learn a new language would you do it? Would you take your kids? How do you
think that experience would change your life? We are not sitting around. We are
getting out and experiencing everything the city has to offer. But I'm not naive.
I see problems and issues on the streets. I see it all the time but I choose to
focus on the positive. I choose to see the best things about Brazil because
that's all I can do. So to my friends in the United States, I say:
Get down here, quit being afraid of what you don't know! And come experience this
beautiful, tropical paradise that is Brazil! And to my Brazilian brothers and
sisters. I say, I love you, I beleive in you. I believe that if you work hard and
educate yourself, you can live the best life. You can live a wonderful life here
in Brazil or live anywhere in the world you want. If you work hard and apply
yourself. I don't care who you are, where you were born, who your president is. If
there's corruptions, issues and problems in your country or not. If you
want a better life, You can make that choice. You can do everything in your
own power to create the life that you love. Live wherever you choose and
live however you choose. You have to put in the work and make the choice though
and you can do it. We love Brazil so much! We have had the
most amazing, incredible, experience so far. We're just getting started
and we're not going anywhere!!
Thanks for watching our video. Staying connected would mean the
world to us. We love making new friends. Please drop by and say hi on Instagram
and thank you for joining Our Brazilian Life.
