.familiarize yourself with her country such as customs, the language they speak. i think they speak portuguese in brazil, not sure. learn a word in her language like thank you (obregada) just as it sounds. look up brazil in an atlas learn were it is, etc. ask her to teach you a few words. and vise versa with all of the above. but my dear thoughtful, and caring person, just by you asking your question tells me that they will feel at home with you. since your sincerity and caring, rings through.

show that you're interested by asking them what you want to know about their country. from that, you would be able to ask more questions and even tell them about your own culture. tour him or her around your town and show your favorite spots to hang out. i'm sure you're gonna have a great time. :-)
