traveling to Sao Paulo, Brazil?
Hello, I am 18 years old and traveling to Sao Paulo, Brazil in a few days. I will be staying for 2 weeks with a family of an exchange student who stayed where I live. I was just wondering of any tips on things I should pack, or what to expect about food or tradition that I should know. I am pretty much clueless so any information would be helpful. Thank you!

I was an exchange student and I want to reassure you that it is very normal to start to feel this way at this point in your exchange. The newness of it all has started to wear off, your novelty as the exchange student at school and in your host family is waning, and the holidays are approaching, which can make homesickness even worse. If you've already graduated from high school (as I had when I did my exchange), your friends are all coming home from college right now and you're realizing that you're not going to be there for all of that fun. BUT...and this is HUGE....if you can make it through Christmas, you're going to be FINE!!!! This will be the most amazing year of your life. When I went on exchange, I didn't really believe it, but now (and I won't tell you how many years later it is!) I can say that my year abroad had the greatest concentration of incredible experiences of any year in my life. I've gone through college and graduate school, gotten married, and I'm now a mother. All sorts of wonderful, fantastic things have happened in my life since I came home from my exchange, but I doubt that I will ever in all of my life have a year like that one - the travels, the friends, the challenges of language and culture and living with my host families, the maturation and development of personal character. You are doing a brave and daring thing by leaving home and being an exchangee and you will - I PROMISE!!! - treasure your memories of your time in Brazil.

I don't know? The laws are always changing! You can try contacting them on their online contact form at https://www3.flhsmv.gov/DDL/CQS/

As you don't have a Brazilian driver's license, you can't get an IDP, which is the easiest way to validate your license in the US. Most likely your best option would be to get a state permit and license once you meet the residency requirements. You'll probably have to take driving classes and complete some hours with a licensed driver, so your host parents (or other licensed US drivers) will have to be willing to help you out. You'll have to decide if the extra expense & bother is worth it.

What is a good program to go on an adventure?
What is a good program to go on an adventure?
I see all these stories and read about people going to Brazil or Spain or somewheres like that. I was just wondering what would be a good web site or a good company to get involved for a trip like this. I am a 2nd year university student who is looking for more in life, and I think a opportunity like this is what I need to figure out my life .. thanks!

habitat for humanity or the peace corps can send you to far flung places, experience exotic local (overseas or wherever) and feel good about helping others in need at the same time. you will also be able to spend some time in the locale where they send you and maybe make some new friends with fellow volunteers. you should check them out and consider pitching it.
