Floripa ou Curitiba?
Rafael, stressed after five years in São Paulo and now able to work from home, asks a forum whether to move to Florianópolis or Curitiba, comparing size, rent and weather. Camila, who moved from Curitiba to Florianópolis last year, answers that she became happier and calmer but poorer, that the island's traffic is the worst part — and that she is not going back.
