I'm in Barra for the next couple months on a solo trip. Would love to meet up with folks! Would especially love to meet other black queers locals or visitors. My Portuguese is awful but I'm starting a language learning course next week.

Update: I'm in Bahia

Hey everyone - quick question about health care in Brazil
Context: I am moving from a Caribbean island to Brazil next month. I live with diabetes type 2, fibromyalgia and was recently put on meds for hypertension. Health care is by no means cheap where I live but we do have access to universal health coverage so I've been able to get some of my medication through our public system - mainly my insulin, metformin, sleep meds and hypertension meds. The items that I have to buy such as code free strips for glucose reader, I've been able to get on Amazon (US) and ship it to me. It is much cheaper that way (eg 50 strips will cost me 18 USD whilst 100 strips on amazon will cost 17USD).
As I am moving to Brazil, I absolutely do not want to be a burden on the public health system there so I have decided to buy my meds as much as possible. I am wondering though are there places that would be cheaper for me to buy this. I looked at Amazon Brazil and the strips are about the same price I would pay in my country so not sure if this is the most feasible option. I'll be in Bahia and may decide to go to Rio.
Any advice from folks who navigate these illnesses while living in Brazil would be great. I've already gotten a letter from my dr here outlining all my illness and meds that I can give to a dr in Brazil.
Hi everyone, as the title says I'm looking for someone who can teach me conversational Portuguese. I'll be in Brazil from June on a digital nomad visa and I'd like to have a basic grasp of the language before I get there. I'd also prefer to pay someone who is from Brazil - and even better to pay a black queer person because I try to practice support communities historically disadvantaged. Please contact me if this is you or you know someone like this. It'll be great to have an instructor in Bahia so perhaps when I get there I can continue with in-person sessions.
