What Makes Us Unique
Over nearly 20 years, we have evolved alongside the world. What began as a cultural exchange project has become something much greater: we create experiences that not only connect people with new cultures but also provoke deep reflection and inner transformation.
The pandemic led us to rethink our impact and expand our mission. Today, beyond providing international experiences, we design journeys that prepare individuals to act with awareness, leadership, and purpose. Whether in Brazil or abroad, every experience is an opportunity for growth, connection, and the creation of a more regenerative future.
“Since 2013, we have had four groups participating in academic experiences in Brazil with Brazilian Experience. Each trip was conducted with professionalism and attention to detail. The team always provides us with more than we imagined, ensuring that students return to the U.S. exhausted but extremely enriched.”
Director, International Services and Service Learning Northwestern Michigan College
“Brazilian Experience is exceptional in connecting students with organizations and companies in Brazil. I have sent over one hundred engineering students for internships and service projects with excellent results. The team is highly organized, well-informed, and understands the needs of the participants. I recommend them with total confidence!”
Executive Associate Dean – International Programs Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering – Texas Tech University
“Brazilian Experience has been essential in creating opportunities for our students in Brazil. They demonstrate leadership, organization, and intercultural competence, navigating seamlessly between academic and business contexts in Brazil and the U.S. I enthusiastically recommend them as a strategic international partner.”
Emeritus Professor of Hispanic Linguistics - The Ohio State University
“Brazilian Experience provided an authentic and unique program that exceeded all expectations in organization, planning, and support. Their team was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and ensured students’ safety at all times. The program offered meaningful activities, high-quality accommodations, and an excellent academic setting at PUCPR. When an unexpected mental health crisis arose, Ms. Rafaela Rolim and her team went above and beyond to provide care and support, demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to student well-being. The experience left a lasting impression, with students expressing their enthusiasm and satisfaction. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Brazilian Experience to any institution seeking an unforgettable and well-structured study abroad program in Brazil.”
Assistant Professor of Spanish and Linguistics University of Southern California
“Since 2014, Brazilian Experience has been offering customized internships in Curitiba for Finnish students, accommodating both Portuguese and English speakers. Professionalism, an incredible local network, and a strong commitment to students make BE a highly recommended organization.”
Specialist in Intercultural Communication EDUFI (Finnish National Agency for Education)
“Brazilian Experience provides a service of the highest quality. Over the past four years, more than 100 students have been placed in technical internships in Brazil. In addition to technical skills, BE guides students in building and reflecting on ‘soft skills,’ ensuring they achieve their goals. The Texas Tech College of Engineering greatly values this partnership!”
