I went to Brazil about 20 years ago. What stuck me was how beautifully diverse it is. African, European, Arab, Japanese and everything in between.

I went to Bahia a few years ago. I'm currently learning Brazilian Portuguese so I can connect more to people and navigate more easily and confidently.

Thanks for sharing your video about São Paulo! While safety is a valid concern, it's worth mentioning that São Paulo has crime rates comparable to cities like New York and Los Angeles. That being said, I'm glad to hear that you think São Paulo is a great destination for Black Americans. São Paulo has a rich cultural scene and vibrant Afro-Brazilian culture, making it a fantastic choice for Black travelers. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

I always heard Brazil is the Culinary country of the world 🌎!! I've been there and I concur 😃

I went to Morumbi in Sao Paulo, around 15 years ago to film a Samba School, I absolutely loved it. On my last day I went on a tour to the Japanese district Liberdade, the largest Japanese community outside Japan.

I love how you guys spontaneously met other Americans that is the beauty of traveling. Thank you guys for sharing.

When I was in Huntsville, AL a week or so ago for a conference, one of our Uber Drivers is originally from Sao Paulo! We had a great time talking about her love for her home city! Thanks for sharing this video!

I'd say the AfroBrasil museum is probably one of my favorite museums of all time, there are so many things to see and so many history to learn there

And I need to say, you've explored somewhat 5% of what São Paulo has to offer, this city is amazing!

I'm curious to know which hotel or Airbnb you stayed at. I'm sorry to hear about the unpleasant situation with the painter. Such incidents should be reported to the property management or Airbnb customer service immediately for appropriate action to be taken. I'm from São Paulo, and this is not a usual incident. I hope the rest of your stay was pleasant.

Brasil o país mais misturado do mundo.

Moro em São Paulo, amei o vídeo. Não falo inglês a legenda nos vídeos ajuda muito. Boa viagem e sejam bem vindo ao Brasil

São Paulo is actually a lot safer than some other brazilian cities that they've been in. But the historic center of the city is dangerous. And on the subway stations that lead to it cell phones and fancy cameras get snached. But the feeling of having your hotel room violated as soon as you get somewhere must be really terrible. It got them on edge.

I SO appreciate that you guys take the time to write down names and actually research historical contributors (that we will otherwise never hear about) to the society; especially Africans. You do everything on the spectrum; from high rise touristy stuff, to art alleys to museums-that's the way to really visit a city. I wonder how many U.S. black folks have actually moved there? Using the spatula to hold the chair, priceless 🤣

São Paulo is a huge 24/7 city where you can find references from all around the world, fine transport system, lots of museums, parks, theatres, malls and the best gastronomy offering the best of each region of Brazil.

Man, seeing the guys from America stop by to say hello and be friendly had me breaking down crying. I’ve been in Japan for 6 years and it’s just so cold and painful. No one smiles and def no one hugs.
