How Brazil works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Brazil, Curitiba leads at 64/100 — cost 43, climate 100, safety 57; warmest-month highs around 21.3°C and coldest-month lows near 13.7°C give you a feel for the seasons. Palmas is the pure-budget play at cost 47/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Brazil before booking anything long-term.
