When considering relocation to Florianópolis, Brazil, be aware of its high cost of living, especially during winter.
The city offers a significant Russian-speaking community and familiar services. For pet owners, housing options with yards and kennels are available, with seasonal rentals potentially around 6000 BRL for a two-bedroom house. Connecting with local Russian-speaking groups can aid in finding accommodation and temporary stays. Sharing rental costs with other newcomers is also a viable strategy due to high deposit requirements.
