Is this really that true? Like how does one have to dress like a local? So you can't just go with some shorts and a shirt? To you have to go with dated clothes or what?

Yep this is true, my relatives, Brazilian acquaintances, and non-Brazilian acquaintances stated that. My auntie dressed simple yet that didn't help avoid getting robbed. Nah not dated clothing LOL, basically look simple don't be wearing flashy clothing and of course you can go with shorts and a shirt that's not an issue.
what do you recommend for phone/internet?
i plan on bringing an old iphone and unlocking it for a brazilian SIM card.
My regular phone is unlocked, i just pick up a SIM while i'm there. iphones are hot commodities there though...u ain't got a old android?
Co-sign this. Apple products have a massive mark up in Brazil due to import taxes. What would cost like $800 here in the US would be like $1600 over there. It's always good to keep an old android on file when traveling to more "rugged" countries. I think an s5 is good in between.
Has all the specs of an iPhone 8 but can be got on the cheap.
nah...my last non-apple phone was a razr.
I might just get an old android from a pawn shop or something before i go.

I don't know if i'd specifically buy a new phone if I had a old iphone lying around.....as long as u don't care if it gets stolen then u can just go with that
Going to ATL this weekend. Should be fun. First time there in like 5 years. I'm chilling with this one chick though so we'll see.
EDIT: 5 years, not 10. 10 years was Charlotte.

Got a business trip to Israel coming up, very hyped to get to that region. I should be out there every 2-3 months, so I’m planning to tack on Jordan, Lebanon, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Turkey to later trips out there.
Also going to confirm with my manager if we’re going to Korea next year
I went in 2016...I feel at home in Northern Africa (well a lot of countries due to my color lol) as well. Morocco, Brazil, Cuba, and Egypt are three places where I felt wholly embraced.
Did you/do you have two passports? They won’t let you into Lebanon with an Israeli stamp. Israel is still considered an enemy state to the Lebanese.
At the airport now headed to Madrid for few days
I figure next year I'll hit my millionth mile travel via air.

Israel doesn’t stamp your passport, they give you this ticket thing

Sometimes they do, but they probably seen you had an American passport, that’s why they didn’t...that’s the other option outside of getting two passports
