Hi there
I am a single mid 40's male looking to spend this winter in Brazil starting November. I'd like to get advice on the best place for me to set up a home base and how easy it is to get 1-5 month accommodation, especially since I assume Jan/Feb are high season near the beaches. I am so far leaning to Florinoplos and Forteleza areas... I realize they are very different. I am looking for a laid back place that is easy to live in, but not so quiet that I won't meet people. Probably an affordable smaller city or town would be best. Would like to have good internet, and of course as little crime as possible...

All advice is appreciated! Thanks.
