Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Man, we visited friends in Brazil in 2019. Absolutely loved it. Fantastic country. I really hope they'll get through this tough times not too bad.

This is a great video! I’m American, but I’ve completely submerged myself in the Brazilian culture with all the Brazilian friends I’ve made here in Orlando the last 7 years and have also completely learned the language. I’m completely in love with Brazil and it’s people! I’ve been there only 3 times but plan on going back many more!

You are so right in all the advice you gave (I’m Brazilian) 🙌🙌. The only thing I’d add is that some hotels and cities are 220V (especially in the northeast) 😉. And yes, everyone should visit Brazil, it’s a beautiful country with fantastic people ❤️

[Watcher]

The best thing about Brazil is their amazing beautiful, fun people.

2:05 It's correct (to have some bills) but in big cities (Like Rio, São Paulo, Recife, etc) you probably will not have any problem to pay with credit card in almost any place...
4:15 For tourists without a local guide or friend try to buy (and check the reputation of the companies) online. Event if aren't big cities there is good options for the tourist cities (like Ouro Preto).
8:35 For most of us Brazilians if there is no rice and beans it's not a 'true meal'
8:55 I confirm that, if you're a 'walker tourist' you can buy some bottled water on the supermarket take them with you when exploring the cities, and save some money and time (instead of stop in each corner to buy water).
9:35 It's true for local mass produced beer, but nowadays it's easy to find a lot of European and American beers in almost all restaurants and bars... But probably they will be served cooler than in US and Europe.
10:35 In some cities the tip is mandatory, but it's expressed in the bill (service tax) as said in the video.
11:25 Also is worth to note that some cities use 110V and others 220V, but uses the same plug ... So if your device it's not 'auto volt', confirm the voltage before use it... You will probably find one adapter in the airport.
13:35 Bonito means beautiful in Portuguese, so you know what to expect here...
If i can help anyone, just ask here and will try my best (if youtube notifies me).

I've spent some time in Brasilia about 6 years ago. It was beautiful even though it's not a big tourist city, and Guarana is one of my favorite drinks.

Excellent job as always Mark! I lived in São Paulo for 3 years and traveled all around Brazil and I love that country.I've been to many countries in the world that I really loved but Brazil is very special to me. I recommend anyone to visit that beautiful country and I assure that people won't disappointed . Bom trabalho como sempre Mark! Obrigado!

Absolutely accurate, I'm Brazilian. May I add that, when booking Uber via the app, you may receive a message from the driver asking where are you going. That is illegal, don't answer, the driver is obligated to take you to your destination, no matter how close or far it is. Otherwise, Uber is way better than a regular cab.

Brazil is a beautiful country with an exciting culture and friendly people.

[paulissima]

Nice and respectful review of my country! Loved it!

[charliekelman]

I went to Nicaragua a few years ago and your videos were so useful, and yet again you’ve pulled through for Brazil! I am going to Rio and Paratay in May and I am so excited, thank you so much 💛🇧🇷

I think Maranhão state is the most underrated. São Luís is the most beautiful colonial city and Lençóis maranhenses the most beautiful natural place. I think youtubers just knows about the mid-south of Brazil.

[JakeMillerDoesTravel]

I’ve been wanting to go to Brazil! Thanks for sharing!

If a tourist can reach a 3 or 4 big cities or tourist places...two visits can be sufficient to get a ideia from Brazil.
There's mountains on south...beaches on northeast, the forest...some good big roads too.
They're sun October to march everyday single day on northeast...5 star's hotel 200 to 400 usd a day all meal and drinks included.

Plan all your visits and walk less on big cities for safety...don't ask info on streets...ask on restaurants, malls etc or Google it.

They're little cities that are amazing to walk and shots photos...like Gramado- RS, Paraty-RJ and some Minas Gerais historical cities and its safe too.

[AngloAcademy]

Great video. It’s amazing how much info about Brazil you managed to put in one quick video.

I am Brazilian and I can say that you did a great job.

If you are single and come to Brazil during carnival, make sure you visit Ouro Preto and Diamantina (both in Minas Gerais state).
You are going to have the time of your life !

[MarlosHC]

I'm brazilian! And...you are awsome! I love your videos!

[gorylatko]

I used to live in Brazil when I was a little kid - wonderful place. Your review was pretty accurate. Good job. Yes, they do drive like crazies, hahaha! Especially the truck drivers. And avoid foggy days on the highway - engavetamento! LOL. Loved feijoada and cerveja. Cafezinho, tambem.

[jozeildoelucialin]

Obrigado por visitar o Brasil. Nós somos um povo muito feliz.
Thank u for visiting Brazil. We're a very happy people.

[nastacho]

After being several times to brazil I decided to learn portuguese! My mother tongue is spanish and it's awful how difficult the communication gets with the people in the street. So, let's learn a bit!

[Krazy_Hatter]

I’ve been singing so many songs in Portuguese, my mom plays it when she makes dinner!
