Until 2014, I have lived all my life in Brasília, Brazil. Now I live in Kyiv, Ukraine. Despite the crisis, day to day life here has not been too much affected. I am loving here, it has the perfect size, where it offers a lof of good services, but it is not so big to be too chaotic. Not to mention that const of living is absurdly cheap.
Ukraine is not war torn, what you see on the news is greatly exaggerated. War is more than 700km away from Kyiv and if you don't read the news you can hardly tell there is a conflict going on in the country. Life just goes on as usual. And, I can eat in good restaurants for the whole week for the price of one meal in an average restaurant in São Paulo. Not to mention that every time I put my foot on the street, I am attacked by a hoard of Super Models. Seriously, women here are ridiculously good looking.
