Highlights

You will be living, and working, in two of our beach houses in Joao Pessoa.

Joao Pessoa enjoys a tropical climate with temperatures averaging 28C all year round. It is popular with tourists and investors and is ideally located for you to enjoy tropical life in NE Brazil.. There are lots of beach bars, restaurants and activities.

You will be able to go snorkelling on the reef, swimming, take boat trips and experience the beachside lifestyle whilst applying it to your internship. You will learn at first hand why investors come here to develop their property portfolios and perhaps more importantly how they derive income after they have purchased. The World Cup is coming in 2014 and this city is in a unique position to benefit from the tourist boom generated by this global event.
