OUR STORY...
Our Plan to Help Others
We have both chosen to live in Buzios,, Brazil for differing reasons and at different times of our lives. ExPatBytes is a site built to share our passions and experiences as ExPats through free podcasts we record to answer who, where when, how, and what questions people have about becoming an ExPat. This is our hobby.
So this information is all free.
