- In 2018 I ended up living in Rocinha in the South of Rio de Janeiro, which was the biggest favela of Brazil at the time. I got asked about safety a lot, so here is my perspective after living there.

9:17: Favela tourism
11:17: Another risk that is not crime
11:37: So, is it safe?

Brazil is the cure for all problems, especially stress related ones.
For suuuuuure!
Very articulate and clarifying video. I'm from the countryside of Brazil, next to Rio. Criminality rate is not as high here, although we do have some neighbourhoods that are very similar to the favelas. It's clear that they are formed by the same historical issues. Inequality in Brazil is so alarming that a lot of middle-class workers often don't get in touch with the poorest people, and we are encouraged to stay away from the communities. It's such a sad and complex reality.
Oh interesting! True, it’s so complex and such a unique phenomenon because of the history. Only Brazilians know what this feels like
you seem to have a lot of stories to tell! Incredible pictures too! Hope to hear more of stories about traveling to these foreign places as a young woman!Thanks
Thank you, much appreciated! And yes I have lots to share
wow this is an interesting experience,the concept of safety is a journaling topic after traveling to different counteries our view broadens as out compassion and empathy.I never really understood the fear of brazilians immigrants living in the US working with me,yet after hearing your experience I can now see their sense of safety is so unique to "western" life.Being a traveler of asia too,I felt a familiar sense of nostalgia hearing about your wanderings in young 20's, my own travels start replaying in my mind.wishing you more of the magic of favorite reflections!Thank you for expressing here!
So true! It’s different going to a favela as a tourist than as a Brazilian. I’m sure naivety and ignorance makes us tourists more open for certain places. Thanks for watching ❤
Favela especially rocinha is much better then any turkish, arabic Ghetto in France or Germany. for sure, especially for woman
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏽🥰
Very interesting and well spoken!
Stopped by your channel to show some support and love and the first thing I see is you giving Brazil some love! Love the content! Please let me know if I can ever help you with anything!
Ahh that’s so sweet thank you! Love Brazil so much. I really miss it
Your video is well edited :)
Great stuff
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Very nice experience ,I liked the video , you spoke good of my place.
Thank you! Only love 💕
interesting experience
Caralh* girl, this was some crazy stuff 😂
I’m just curious how much you paid in rent living in rocinha?
I’m not 100% sure because it’s been a few years but I think around 600 reais
Você é muito bela ❤
❤❤❤❤ indeed girl 💓😂😉
if you don't want catcalling, stop paying social wealthare to muslims in France, Germany. magesticly all they would move somewhere else.
Of course guns increase short time safety. Really prefer fear over sexual harassment? No
That’s kind of the point of the video. There was no fear for me because there was no sexual harassment. As mentioned, the concept of safety differs depending on your gender, age, race, etc. So I can imagine you’ll have a very different perspective if sexual harassment has never been such a big part of your daily life
are you French?
She mentions Belgium multiple times
Probably the French speaking part
Belgian from Flemish part!
Wow getting cat called or getting shot hmmmm .... Let me see.
It’s paradoxical, but it makes sense if you think about it. It’s about the feeling of safety, not safety itself.
always white women
❤❤❤❤ indeed girl 💓😂😉
