Rio Grande do Sul state capital in southern Brazil — temperate-subtropical climate (cooler than Rio/São Paulo, with real winters), strong European-immigrant cultural layer (German, Italian, Polish), and a tech-startup scene (Movile, Bling, Petlove all have roots here). Cidade Baixa, Bom Fim, and Moinhos de Vento are the dense walkable nomad neighborhoods. Same Brazil DNV (1-year + extension, $1,500/mo income); standard Brazil visa rules. Roughly 20-30% cheaper than São Paulo on rent. The structural draw is the temperate climate (the only major Brazilian city with proper winters).
