About Culture Harmony
If you catch yourself thinking: “Am I the only one who feels the Marvelous City is not THAT marvelous?”
The answer is NO. The good news is: it is only a temporary feeling if you put a bit of effort and goodwill to harmonize yourself with this vibrating city that is Rio de Janeiro.
“Culture Shock” is a common phenomena that happens when you move to a new place, to a new culture. Moving to a new place is always exciting, but it is also normal to feel anxious, nervous, and even frustrated and sad once you move to a new environment. It does not matter if you are moving to a place that most people consider paradise, such as Rio de Janeiro. We grow up with certain beliefs, behaviors, and values that are common to our culture. We are used to doing things in a certain way. We know what to expect from people and from the environment around us. Once we are not able to predict these anymore, we all feel a little nervous and uncomfortable. However, once Culture Harmony helps you become comfortable with your surroundings, it all goes away. Culture shock can be overcome and we are here to help you on this mission. We can help you harmonize yourself with the new culture, first of all, by listening to your difficulties without judging (something very difficult to find, right?), as well as helping you learn the language, the local History, the way local people communicate, what to expect from daily life in Rio de Janeiro and the beautiful surprises you will discover in this city, if you open yourself to it. We can assure you that Rio de Janeiro IS a Marvelous City, and not only that, we can help you discover that for yourself, through individual and group counseling sessions focused on improving your relationship with the city, with the Portuguese language, with the Brazilian culture, and with the beautiful Brazilian people around you. Surrender to the experience. We are here to help you conquer this city as yours and enjoy it to the fullest! Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, the Marvelous City!
