When I lived in Germany I always left with my house keys, but here in rural Brazil, the only key I need is my cars!

(I used to live so close to the city center I didn’t need a car, and now I live so far away that I don’t even bother locking my front door).

    I don’t ask this in a judgemental way: why would you choose to live in rural Brazil over Germany?

      If you’re not habituated to cold winters, it can be difficult to live in a place that has them. I’m from New England and live in Germany, so I’m always slightly disappointed by the winter (I’m not in Bavaria), but for people who are from warm places, the cold literally hurts. You adjust to a point, but especially if you’re older or skinnier, it might be a struggle every time.
