Chris Jones

Hi, I’m Chris Jones—an American who lived 29 years in the U.S. and has now lived 12.5 years in Brazil. I’m fluent in English and Brazilian Portuguese, and I’ve spent years helping expats make Brazil work in real life—not just in theory.
If you’re considering Brazil, I can help you stop guessing and start thinking clearly. We can walk through the practical side (Federal Police/immigration steps, visa direction, healthcare realities, banking, and everyday logistics) and also the cultural side—because honestly, culture is where many people struggle the most.
I also have real experience integrating into Brazilian family culture through marriage, and I understand what expats often underestimate when they’re dating, getting serious, or trying to build a life here. Family involvement, expectations, communication style, and even “unspoken rules” can make or break a situation if you don’t see them coming.
My goal is simple: help you keep who you are, while learning how to live well here in a way that’s respectful, realistic, and sustainable. I’m direct, balanced, and constructive—no hype, no pressure—just real-world guidance.
