From cheek kisses to late-night dinners, nothing prepared me for the cultural surprises of everyday life here. If you're an American thinking about moving to Brazil, or a Brazilian curious about how your culture looks through foreign eyes—this is for you.

Whether it’s social habits, language barriers, or just plain weird (to me!) everyday moments—here’s what shocked me the most.
