What do people like (and dislike) about Sao Paulo?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Sao Paulo, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads generally like the vibrant and diverse culture of Sao Paulo, which offers a rich array of art, music, and culinary experiences. They appreciate the city's cosmopolitan atmosphere, with its mix of modern architecture and historical sites. The relatively low cost of living, compared to other major cities, is also a plus for many expats and digital nomads. Sao Paulo's extensive public transportation system, including buses and the metro, is generally reliable and affordable, making it easy for expats and digital nomads to get around the city. The city also offers a variety of coworking spaces, which cater to the needs of remote workers and provide opportunities for networking and collaboration. However, expats and digital nomads often dislike the high levels of crime and insecurity in Sao Paulo, which can make them feel unsafe, particularly in certain neighborhoods. The city's notorious traffic congestion can also be frustrating and time-consuming for those who need to commute or travel frequently. Additionally, the language barrier can be challenging for expats and digital nomads who do not speak Portuguese, as English is not widely spoken in Sao Paulo. This can make it difficult to navigate daily life, access services, and build social connections with locals. Finally, the city's pollution and lack of green spaces can be a downside for expats and digital nomads who value a clean and healthy environment. The noise and chaos of the city can also be overwhelming for some, leading them to seek out quieter, more peaceful places to live and work," wrote a member who made the move to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
