Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Have you lived there before?

Question

I'm curious to know how many other foreigners have lived there, as I did. I lived in the Zona Sul for a month, then in the Zona Oeste for 4 months. I loved it and I'll do it again in the years to come.

Answer 1

I live in terresopolis, 1 hour from rio, heaven on earth

Answer 2

I'm a carioca... sadly, due to crime rates, I have to warn you not to come at the present juncture.

Answer 3

I am from Rio. But I live in Europe now. Rio is the most beautiful city in the world, geographically speaking. but the actual situation with criminality sucks and I rather stay away.

Answer 4

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much crime and corruption going on in Rio right now....

Answer 5

Yes, I lived a 4 minute walk to Copacabana for a short time and loved it.  I met interesting people and had friends from different walks of life - from the favelas to the wealthy.
