I'm planning my first mongering when borders start opening up and plan to report back and upload pictures etc.
For a first trip, does Colombia vs Brazil have any major advantages over the other? Through some research, prices look about the same. One thing I really like about Brazil are the "termas", I don't think Colombia has an equivalent where you can go to a sauna and relax like a FKK club in Germany and monger at the same time. Thanks for any info.
Its a apt hotel.
[QUOTE=Ptgbac;2476400]You see, the problem is the public healthcare in Rio. Not only covid, anything minor can happen. Well, moving on to more important stuff.
Transamerica barra is a hotel or flats?
I am a European Portuguese, do you think it's easier to hook with girls? And not get charged with the gringo tax.[/QUOTE]
I don't really care.
I am getting laid in Brazil.
Not reading some message board sniping about minor BS.
Hahah.
[QUOTE=WyattEarp;2476382]Are you sure about that? I think it is more typical that USA Insurance private or government only covers your health services in the USA.[/QUOTE]

The facilities and food in termas are very basic. I wouldn't recommend booking a masseur / masseuse in a termas.
[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2476321]Since I slid into Brazil in mid March ... [/QUOTE]VB, check your pm.
After a long absence from Rio where I traveled to twenty other countries, I am starting to look at going to Rio again. However, going back to Rio makes me a little nervous. Before, I rented a room from the guys at America Tours (now closed), spent a lot of the daytime at 4 x4 and Luomo (both closed) hung out on the beach at Posto 6 (Hooker section), at at Meia Pataca (closed) and pregamed at the patio restaurant outside of help (closed), and spent late nights at Help (closed).
I just don't know what to get excited about in going back. I felt like a Rio pro and now everything has changed so much and none of the places I went to even exist anymore. Back then, I also knew personally most of the “must have” girls and obviously they left the game long ago. I miss so much of the good old times, and much of what I learned about mongering was because of my trips to Rio. I even remember my first trip to medellin, and feeling like it was a mistake and a waste of time because I loved Rio so much! I read trip sports and just don’t see the excitement that we as a group had from back in the day.
I'm really thinking long and hard about all of this. Decisions, decisions.
Dan.

Hahah.[/QUOTE]It is not minor BS. They could turn you away without insurance. Here is a website I checked out: [URL]https://www.americanvisitorinsurance.com/us-citizen/travel-to-brazil/[/URL].
You can get two weeks of insurance and I was quoted $23 when I put in my information.
[QUOTE=Safado69;2475767] The dynamic is changing here for sure but I stick to my initial comment that it's a great time to be here.
[/QUOTE]Safado69, please post more reports as deciding to make the trip back to Rio.

[/QUOTE]There is no debate as Colombia is closed at this time and Brazil is open for travelers.

Dan.[/QUOTE]You can't go back to Rio hoping and expecting to re-live the past. It's gone. Either look to play the game differently there, or consider trying a new destination in Brazil. I still have gone to Rio, but I started going to Sao Paulo too. Even took a trip down to Porto Alegre. So glad I did! When things open up and are safe again, I plan to see other parts of Brazil as well. So, consider expanding your horizons to discover other parts of Brazil besides Rio de Janeiro.

If you can't get there or be safe while there, little else matters.
I know how tab A into slot be works and don't need blow by blow descriptions. What is helpful is I am on the ground and this is what I see or experienced. In the case of travel health insurance, this is what I purchased or my research suggested.
The point about Rio not being as it was is not just a post about lamenting the closing of Help, but a legitimate question worthy of discussion, especially at this time. I like Sperto and greatly appreciate his contributions because he has helped me make educated decisions about other options in Brazil.
A big thank you goes out to those who are taking the time to share their firsthand on the ground experiences as others are trying to decide whether the risk is worth the ever changing reward.

[QUOTE=Questner;2477502]You will be lucky to get that malady really covered at $23 per day at present, but you won't. We are all sensible men.[/QUOTE]My Health Insurance in the USA states worldwide coverage.
I had the company send me a separate email / letter stating this, as well as stating the effective date of the insurance.
That, with my Insurance card will get me in.
I've already had 2 friends enter in that manner with no problem at all.
Monday 17 h solarium is plan. Vagbundo1 and Safado69 are in.
