I am not sure where in Brazil I want to go, besides the rainforest. I don’t want to get stuck in the tourist traps, nor do I want to go on the vacations I hear people are taking where they stay in the ghettos to learn what life for real Brazilians is like (I grew up in a ghetto, don’t want to vacation there).

If I went, I’d have to know someone there already (I sort of do, but we’re not that close that I could come stay with him on holiday) so I wouldn’t be stuck in all the touristy spots.
