Hello and welcome to Brazilian Experience podcast and I'm your host, Joseph Schmittgen.

Brazilian Experience, or simply “BE”, is an educational and tourism organization specialized in creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for foreigners visiting Brazil, providing a safe environment with full support to meet your needs. We believe that living abroad is a unique opportunity to access and advance cultural understanding, inspiring mutual respect and personal growth.

On the podcast we'd like to share with you insights on Brazil and inspire you to learn more about this beautiful country.

Today on the podcast I sat down with Brazilian Experience founder and director Rafaela Rolim. She’s a woman who wears many hats so to speak, managing the operations of BE, connecting with our international partners, is responsible for developing new programs and more. As BE approaches its 10th anniversary coming next summer, we talk about the history behind BE, how rafaela came to find it and how BE has evolved over the years.
