From meeting thousands of prospective students to exploring incredible campuses, our time in Brazil was nothing short of amazing! 🇧🇷

Huge thank you to @educationusabr for the partnership and for helping us bring the Pack to Brazil. We’re also so grateful to @inteli_edu , @nafaap , and @ibmec for having us on campus and giving us such a warm welcome!

And of course, we couldn’t leave without a few iconic Brazilian experiences like spotting capybaras after our campus visits and staying energized with Guaraná!

Muito obrigado, Brazil! Until next time 🐺🇧🇷
