Q. What is the standard of accommodation like in Brazil?

Category: South America » Brazil » Living in Brazil

A. Answer:

Most teachers in Brazil live in relatively new apartment blocks, with all mod-cons. These are usually shared with other teachers or ex-pats to reduce costs. In more rural areas, you may end up in a more traditional fazenda.
