We Can't Leave Florianopolis - Is Van Life Over?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2023
- There is something we have needed for a long time. And we need to leave the Magic Island of Florianopolis here in Brazil to get it. Instead we are leaving "Party beach" and heading to the Southern most tip of the Island to explore new coast line and to search for toucans. With so many wonderous features we have decided this Island in the south of Brazil is a place we could live and we are finding it hard to leave. This place is special. People frequently ask, "In four years of van life travel, have you ever found a place you want to stay?"
Cheers
Snow and Curt

I never would have known how amazing Brazil is without you. Thank you Snow and Curt!
Pharmacies in Brazil can measure blood pressure and sugar levels (diabetes), if necessary.
Taking the cat for a walk while "looking for birds" made me giggle. I love how you let your cats explore, too!
That hit me too 😂
Hope you can visit Curitiba and the colonial town of Morretes. There's a train ride you can grab for it, and it goes through Brazil's most preseverd part of Atlantic Rainforest. Enjoy the south!
Em Morretes não esqueça de experimentar barreada. É uma delícia!
"REMEMBER TO CATCH A SIT WITH THE MOUNTAIN VIEWS!"
Brazil looks good on you both. It is almost like the country has the key to the fountain of youth because you both were smiling from ear to ear through the last two videos. Much Love.
It's an amazing country!! The people are kind and happy! The culture is fun and relaxed! And the nature is STUNNING!
Thank you for showing the real Brazil, the Brazil we love. You guys understood why Brazil is so cool. It's the people, it's the lifestyle. It's not about Rio de Janeiro, favelas, carnival, football or the Amazon. Brazil is much cooler than that and you guys are understanding that very well. You are very welcome here, you will have a lot of fun. Tip: If you want to meet the best people in the world go to Minas Gerais, as you love nature there are a lot of excellent destinations there for ecotourism too. I'm not from Minas Gerais, but there isn't a person in the world who doesn't like them, rs.
🔺🥰
I'm from Minas Gerais and I'm very happy when people are welcomed here, it's a cultural issue, fortunately in Minas we were born learning to receive and help people.
Just by seeing the smiles on Curt and Snow faces, you can see that they really got to know the spirit of Brazil, it's impossible not to smile in this country of natural beauties and humble and happy people. I'm waiting for you in Minas to eat cheese bread, which is better than pastel! 😁
@@GuilhermeTeixeira85 Não é melhor que pastel, :D
I mean… Rio de Janeiro is a part of Brasil…
sempre tem um pra tentar desmerecer ou diminuir o Rio de Janeiro, bizarro, sobrou até para a Amazônia kkkkk, valorize seu país, amigo. Não é preciso desmerecer um lugar para exaltar outros, sou do Rio e amo o MEU PAÍS, e não apenas o meu estado.
Kurt, pastel or pastéis (plural) are sold all over Brazil. Prawns, beef, cheese, heart of palm etc. However, I agree with you, not everyone makes it with banana and cinnamon quite like they make in the south.
I dream with it here in London Uk.
Actually, as you can imagine, I dream with all of it, especially from London 😂
Nordeste e sudeste também fazem o pastel com banana, açúcar e canela que se chama, banana real!
I would absolutely love to see Brazil!!!!!! It looks and sounds just fantastic. The birds, butterfly 🦋 ❤️, the scenery!!! The people!!!!! Just amazing. Snow you are rocking it. Curt, you are a wonderful man and your love for Snow shines!! Actually that is why I love to watch your vlogs. Take care stay safe and see you two in the next one.
When you passed by those skyscrapers, you were past Itapema already, that city was Balneário Camboriú.
My wife is from Rio Grande do Sul. It’s been years since I’ve been to Brazil and more than 13 years since I visited Florianopolis for a hot minute. Your videos have inspired me to go back. I love hiking and I appreciate your hiking vids!
Me to! I am originally from Brazil and I have been living in Canada for 33 years.
Pastel you can get any place in South of Brazil ( if it’s not all Brazil) . The best ones are from free market that’s happens once a week . ( feira livre) ask some people where and when you can see a feira livre .
The more you go North the more dangerous it is. Close to Rio has another magic city named Paraty.
@@augustalopes4926ela não está errada, em termos de segurança, isso é um fato. Eu amo o nordeste, norte, todo o Brasil tem lugares lindos. Mas é importante conhecer os locais, saber o nível de violência e crimes até para se cuidar mais ou menos…
Floripa is one of those places I've ALWAYS wanted to see. Thank you so much for taking me there, what a gorgeous piece of paradise! And the Brazilian people are some of the nicest we've ever met anywhere in the world.
Way to go guys... We call this home now we left Orlando same time you did but we did it by plane... and set up here. like you we left Construction Sr PM jobs to retire here. Have many tips for you if you ever have interest, BTW Floripia is the place to be to get all your paperwork if you decide to stay...
😍Brazil hasn’t stopped delivering for sure!! I’m so glad y’all got your spare tire!! Yay!! That green 🦋 too - wow!!! 10:38 ps…I’m getting a ticket and will be down for a visit to follow y’all around 😅 (I could only wish!!) what a beautiful little beach town!! always love your videos… saúde guys!! 😊
What a fabulous video! So far, Brazil seems great. You two make everywhere seem great by always finding the positive. ❤
Thank you! 😃

Good info
YOU ARE AWESOME! We so appreciate the amazing info.
Wow Good to know :)
❤😊❤😊 As a RN who specialized in cardiac care. I can tell you snow that you look great doing so much better and you probably wouldn't expect to . It gets frustrated because I know you get short of breath. As you're doing the right thing.
Thank you! I do get frustrated when I have super tired days... But, it's much better than the alternative ♥️☺️
When you decide to retire the Van, you can find a marvelous place to live in Brazil. Floripa is just one of several amazing places we have. Enjoy it.
Well! you just missed "bombinhas" right before itapema, bombinhas is the best town by the santa catarina coast line, but anyway there's a lot to see on the way up, we are going along. Enjoy it!
We Brazilians are so glad to see you guys hanging around in our homeland. Hope you enjoy the best of Brazil and have a great time here
You need to know Ubatuba in São Paulo, there are several beaches, many turtles, nature, go to the Island of Cabbages, access is by boat, leaving Picinguaba, is very worthwhile. And then head to Parati, south of Rio de Janeiro, sure they were as delighted as Florianópolis.
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel tem nada a ver, até em Florianópolis pode acontecer, só não sair da rota turística. Parati é cultura e belezas naturais, obrigação passar por lá.
You guys look great and I have to believe the surroundings have a little to do with that. I have never heard of this island but it looks so beautiful that I wish I could go. Thank you for showing the people as well. Brazil is filled with magic. Thank you again.
btw if you love pastéis (plural for pastel) you should try them with sugar cane juice (“Caldo de Cana”), it’s a street food staple anywhere in Brazil. but make sure to get the salty ones (not the sweet ones you’ve been getting) because the juice is very sweet already!
hello guys, you are very close to my state Paraná, I have a tip for you, you need to visit Ilha do Mel, one of the most beautiful places in the south, the island is a natural reserve, it has two "encantadas" beaches and "Brasilia".Brasília is the best! ❤
Very gorgeous place it's one of my favorite so far on your world adventures happy y'all got a new rim n spare I sure it's a relief just Incase the birds where just beautiful to see stay safe BLESSED BE ❤
Snow you're my idol. I'm struggling with some health issues and can't always do what I want. You give me encouragement with these videos to press on even when it's the last thing I want to do. Thank you and best of health to you!
I'm imagining a beautiful day of sun and cloudless skies in this place. It must be more beautiful and more amazing than these cloudy days. ❤
I don’t know how you summoned the will to leave that beautiful place. I had no idea how stunning the place is ❤. The town, the beach and the people make it a place you could spend endless winters in…it would be very hot in the summer, and as Curt said, it will be heaving in summer. Stunning ep as always ❤❤
Hi, I’m a Brazillian who lives in Boca Raton, FL, I have watched some your videos and really inspired me to follow you guys on these adventures, specially now that you’re in my country and show all the beauties of our land. Keep it up. By the way, im from the state of Minas Gerais and if you guys heading north stop by Governador Valadares, MG. We have this mountain peak called “Ibituruna” from where most of avid hang Gliders from around the world competes internationally. Lot of people there speak english. Bon voyage 😊
De Governador Valadares nos Estados Unidos? É, faz sentido.
@@eddiesantos4978É para mim, curioso o porque muitos de nós brasileiros temos o hábito de querer desqualificar uns aos outros, enquanto que para outras culturas, se apresentam como uma de um povo de extrema humildade, hospitalidade, generosidade e etc. Incrível!
Conterrâneo mineirinho, você tem a minha simpatia.
"If you do not have anything positive to say, do not say anything at all".
I’m totally in love with you guys. You’re just so sweet!
Seeing nature through your eyes should be taught in schools.
I’m hooked on your videos.
^ +1.
I would watch your video all day and not get tired of it, I like the way you shoot, in a simple and objective way, it calms me down.
I hate when your videos end!! I could watch your tours and adventures for hours :) thank you for sharing your beautiful journey with us and reminding me of being appreciative of the little things like cool birds on your way.
Love those drone shots! What beautiful beaches! Snow’s party beach - gorgeous! Oh, my goodness! Rim mission accomplished! I’m do’n my happy dance! Blessings, Jojo💕
Your video was again: Show de Bola!! Love that expression! Take care, always be careful and enjoy!
Looks like you discovered a little slice of paradise. You do such a nice job of capturing the birds. Nice job!
Snow, you are a CHAMP! I cannot believe your progress from the heart attack until now - you look amazing, and you are doing SO well! Curt, those bird shots are glorious, what an amazing country!
I love your new hair cut Snow. You and Curt are looking so healthy! Bravo. Thinking of you in Austin and safe travels.
Yes..love Snow new hair cut. Y’all are looking good, and glad your enjoy your journey through this world. Keep having fun.
Thank you ladies!! It feels a little too short for me ☺️
Vendo estes comentários, sinto muito orgulho de ser brasileiro! Como todas as pessoas de bem são bem vindas em nosso país ! Isso mostra o quanto esse país e generoso e acolhe bem a todos !
Sou brasileiro com muito orgulho!
As músicas que vocês colocam nestes vídeos eu nunca tinha escutado. São músicas lindas e de muito bom gosto. Às vezes bate certinho com o vídeo. Obrigado pelos vídeos muito bonitos que vocês mandam. Vocês precisam conhecer outros lugares maravilhosos do Brasil, onde a exploração turística não existe como aí em Santa Catarina.
Guys, if you decide to visit Rio de Janeiro state, you really should visit three cities; Paraty, Petropolis and Buzios. That last one has REALLY amazing beaches.
What a beautiful country🥰
Hi guys. I'm really enjoying your videos about Brazil.
One small thing. The correct way to pronounce the Brazilian currency Reais is 'Hey-eyes' - this is a close approximation to how you might write it phonetically for an English speaker and not Reales.
That gorgeous butterfly that you saw in Floripa is a Green longwing and the bird is usually known as Azzure Jay.
Enjoy the rest of your trip. Looking forward to seeing where you get to next
@ jorgefigo2044 - 👍🤩💝Thank you for the info and correct pronunciation of Reais. 🙏🤩💝
@@lovingatlanta no problem 😊
The birds are extraordinary! Thank you so much for your sharing what you find. That very rocky path was dangerous. Glad you both did what you could safely. That last meal of pasta and chicken with, I think, beans was my kind of eating. I have a beautiful friend from Brazil. They are a happy, joy filled people.
So great to see you enjoying the hikes Snow! What a beautiful community. I can see why it might make it on the short list of permanent living locations. Safe travels, 🤗🇨🇦
I hope you come visit Morretes, it's an hour away from Curitiba, it's a tourist town, several restaurants, a river that cuts through the middle of the city, several trails and waterfalls and for you of course a great bird spot. It is a city that is worth the trip outside the train ride from Curitiba to Morretes, which is said to be one of the most beautiful in South America.
We are so very proud of you Snow for making yourself climb those two hills to see the beach. Your enthusiasm got you there! A big congratulations!! 😃😍🤗🤗
You two just blow me away! That was truly jam packed with beauty, I was dreaming of being on that stunning island, I could almost smell it! The kitties sure would be happy there, they are explorers now too! It would be a dream come true to see Brazil the way you guys do it, so proud of you Snow, you are amazing and brave! Everyone you meet is so kind because you two are so warm and lovable! Safe travels!💕🇨🇦
Thank you for the flower shots, such a broad diversity of blooms and plants, feasts for the birds and bees!. And the birds, so blue! --then that Tuscan, wow!
Great hike, Snow, beautiful country, you got to where you wanted, you are doing so wonderful!
What a wonderful experience Brazil has been for you both. And Snow....what a trooper you are doing those walks. As you say though, you're concentrating on pushing the envelope a bit and strengthening your heart. A great idea. Looking forward to the next leg of your journey, but what a shame you had to leave Florianopolis to do that. It was just idyllic.
Floripa is a special place for sure!!
It’s amazing seeing your videos complementing Brazil, we are sad due to the systemic corruption we have at the moment, but watching your videos give us pride and energy! Thanks Curt and Snow.
If you come back to the south I’d be more than happy to host you guys in my city: Torres / Rio Grande do Sul
All the best.
They have pastel (pasteis is plural) in the north too. Both savory and sweet ones. It is so fun to follow your jorney. I had planned to study in Florianopolis, years ago, but couldn't because of health issues. But I have to go visit!
Those skyscrapers in Itapema! 😮 Wow! And what great news about the tyre - you must be so relieved 😅 Florianapolis does look amazing and you’re really selling South America ❤
Actually, those skyscrapers are in the city called Balneário Camboriú. Itapema is a neighbour city. 😉👍🏻
Thanks for the geographical redireaction! 😁🥰👍🏻
Brazil ranks very high on our "we could retire there" list!!
Ooooh ! The pink ball flower you did a close up on was the Dombeya. It’s native to SA, in the hibiscus family. If you get close enough to smell the flower cluster you’ll find a sweet coconut fragrance. ♥️♥️♥️. Thank you for the close up on this wonderful shrub/small tree.
Another big thumbs up! This was splendid. What a beautiful corner of the world! You two seem to be aging in reverse. It's obvious that these years of van life have been so good for you. Snow, you have such a soothing voice for narration. And, the shorter, curly hairstyle really suits you. Congrats on finally getting the new rim. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Thanks for taking us along!
C'mon, i can believe that... You guys are full of nice surprises, we love that...😀 Some days ago i saw Kurt and Snow crossing the border of Argentina and today literally they came fix the tire at a shop 4 minutes from my house here in Joinville... This is amazing, i hope you guys enjoy as much as possible the beautiful South of Brazil, and wait for the Summer, warm sea and incredible weather (like Florida one Snow) will welcome you soon.... ⛱🌞🥤
Hats off to you Snow for listening to your body.❤❤
Beautiful photography, such beautiful scenery.
Try visiting São Francisco do Sul. An island you can reach by road. Just a magnificent place. Full of history and amazing nature.
It’s 30 minutes from Joinville.
🤗🤗 !!! Good to see ma'am, you're in good shape!!! may Brazil bring you good vibes and experiences. God bless you both and keep better health, people like you will always welcome wherever you go.
Thank you 😊
On your walk today you did close ups of some beautiful flowering plants ( thank you !) The purple flowers were Pleromas, the red flowers were Hibiscus and couple with them was one of my favorite blue flowers, Duranta erecta. This SA native is in the Lantana family, and although beautiful to behold-has somewhat toxic yellow berries.
Snow, you have my vote for just walking as far as you did to see the ocean. Job well done lady, verses pushing it to far. Way to go dear. Whoo who!,
Today is our Independence Day. There’re parades in almost every city. It’s very beautiful to see it.
Great music in your videos! Snow,. You give me hope i'm having a heart procedure tomorrow.Happy travels!
Kurt & Snow, Brazil’s coast is safe till São Paulo. At Rio de Janeiro coast there’s a lot of unsafe locations ( like Angra dos Reis). Take care and be well ❤
exactly, people should warm them about this. Even São Paulo's coastline is going through a big operation from the security forces, not the safest place rn...
Stop it. Pare com barrismo. Vergonha!
Wow! Beautiful place!! The scenery, beaches, birds and people all are awesome! I can see why you didn't want to leave. You take care and be safe out there.
Espero que aproveitem muito o Brasil
Great video! A bit sad you had to leave Florianopolis, so much yet to see there! But you gotta move on.
Now, to get to Joinville, you missed two very important places to visit!!
- Bombinhas
- Balneario Camboriú.
Look for some pictures of Bombinhas and it’s surrounding beaches. It’s a very special place!
Balneario Camboriu is not 100% your “type” as it has become a more touritic/fancy city with it’s tall buildings, but there is a cBle car to the top of a mountain that is very cool to do, there is a spinning wheel too with beautiful scenario, a an amazing aquarium too!
Hopefully you can go back a little and visit these places. Cheers!
Acredito que se vocês fosse encontrar o casal que está construindo um grande barco a vela seria bem interessante, o canal deles é :”Guruçá Ao Sabor do Mar “
Realmente! Acompanho eles desde o primeiro catamarã. Sou suspeito em falar. Apaixonado por vela e construção naval. Abraços
Nice video. I'm happy that you guys are enjoying Brazil and its lovely people, food and neighborhoods.
Thank you! 😃
You need to go back to Floripa and visit the historical center.. Eat a Shrimp pastel at the public market, and explore the north of the island :)
Wish we had time to see everything.... But we've got to keep moving!
I love how you encourage each other and cheer each other on. It motivates me to be a better wife and to be my husband’s encourager-thank you!! Love the birds and the kitties too🥰
Love that!
Love that!
How are you my friend? It's nice to find your videos in Brasil. I'm enjoying a lot. I live in Sao Paulo State. I thing you both very courageous and optimistics about all situations you've been through. I wish everything good for this nice couple.
Those butterfat butterfly was amazing you guys always take the best pictures of birds and whatever I've been watching you guys for so long and I never say anything cuz you get so many things I don't know if you'll ever get to my comment but you guys are amazing
I'm glad you liked the butterfly!! He was the coolest shade of green 😊
We are loving the birds you are showing us. Obrigado amigos
Great closeup shots of the birds their colors were so pretty. Liked the cat strolls as well. Getting the spare tire was a relief. Hope padlocks hold. Wonder where you will head to get the van loaded on the ship. I think it must be to the north just not sure.
I loved that place too! In the end though, it looked like you were in Miami. Thats a BIG city! The birds always get me. I wouldnt go to Europe. Its not as beautiful as South America. Idk for sure but I doubt it. Beautiful video.
Europe is an experience about architecture and history. It is gorgeous, but human made. South America is about God's work.
The birds are beautiful to look at. Wow!
Not sure how current your activities are to the posting of them. Hoping both of you are well after the hurricane.
I believe they’re pretty safe as lHurricane /typhoon did not affect us here in Florianópolis that much , as they are traveling north I’d should be less less problematic, barely an inconvenience :)
There are no hurricanes (tropical storms) in the southern Atlantic since Catarina in 2004 I think.
Subtropical storms, cyclones, até quite common however and much weaker
"Pastel" is widely popular and can be found on almost every corner in Brazil. I highly recommend trying the "pizza" flavor. Every neighborhood hosts a weekly street market ("feira"), where you can find not only pastels but also a variety of fresh produce directly from local farms. These local growers typically use fewer pesticides and follow less industrialized approaches, making the products both healthy and, most importantly, affordable. The range of items available includes grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, peppers, cookware, honey, cheese, and much more. You can even negotiate with the sellers for deals that include multiple products. They often offer free samples of fruits to encourage purchases. Also, be sure not to miss the sugar cane juice; ask for it with a hint of lime-it's heavenly. To find out when and where the neighborhood fair takes place, simply ask the locals. There's a fair happening somewhere in the city every day, and in larger cities, you might find multiple fairs occurring simultaneously.

Wonderful video about Florianopoliz - Brasil
Thank you very much
Desde Minha Vida de Campo
I saw your videos a few months ago. Very happy to see that your wife is much better now. God bless you . I really enjoyed the vídeo
Thanks so much
BEAUTIFUL TOUCANS!! What a thrill to see them in their natural habitat.
Beautiful scenery,thanks guys for sharing. Safe Travels
Good to see the birds, Snow hiking and the island..
Not Curt saying "hey guys how are you doing?" as if those men would understand him 😂
Wow, that beach town was spectacular and the color of the water was so pretty. Snow, you did a great job hiking as much as you did and knowing your own limitations.
Please be careful snow and don’t overdue it. I have the same heart problems. I love watching your vlogs blogs or whatever they are called. And curt don’t let her overdo.
Cut sugar from diet. Search for "açúcar de côco "
Curt! That bird montage was awesome! Mesmerizing! What a lovely video. Felt like I walked the whole town with you. Love the quick interviews with locals you met along the way. 🥰
Come on Curt, are you going to stand there filming the lady carrying 50kgs cement bags and not going to help her? HAHAHA Just kiding. Guys, you are just discovering ONE beach in Floripa, and this is not the most exotic one. In the island and Santa Catarina Coast there more dozens of nice beaches to explore. Anyway, I'm glad everything is running smooth and you could catch some sunny days in our winter.
She is an empowered strong woman, she doesnt need no man
When passing in the middle of people or nearby. You can say "Com Licença" same as "Permisso" in spanish
Birds are my favorite animal ❤ya'll that footage is so off the charts.
Fun video! That ocean is gorgeous!
I enjoyed this video so much! Snow, I'm so proud of you for pushing yourself t o strengthen your heart. And Curt, your photo/video skills of birds is amazing. Thanks again for taking us along! 😊❤
That carving!! Beautiful 😍 gorgeous fishing village. I bet its very nice traveling around. So much in the world to see and its like fall weather. Bet its foggy and so cool in the mornings 🌄.
Thank you. We hope you join us on more adventures☮️🙏😍
Suggestion: Put a cover on this spare tire, it's one more security not knowing how it's fixed and locked.
I'm in the city of São Paulo, if you need anything when I'm around here, just ask for my contact.
A+on your fitness progress Snow!
The City with skyscrapers in the video was Camboriu. Itapema was a little before it.
🐦 🐦 may God shower you with blessings. Enjoy yourselves.
Well done Snow on great hike, I’m enjoying the beautiful birds wow’s thanks 😊
Thank you so much. I’ll check the video of ur journey from the States to Brazil. This is amazing adventure that my wife and I would love to do it.
Beautiful country ❤ Thank you for sharing this
Snow you"re my hero. Sorry - keyboard's acting up. Yay you!
