ABOUT ME

Welcome to my blog, The Long Gringo!

I am Richard George James Jackson, a British expatriate who has made Brazil his home for over 30 years.
My experiences have taught me about resilience, transformation, and Brazil's enduring spirit.
I have ventured into various business endeavours, from founding a consultancy in the boat and yacht industry to establishing an English language school.
Along the way, I've discovered the vital importance of resilience and the profound impact of transformation.
I'm eager to share my stories and insights on this blog, hoping to inspire and support others on their own journeys.
Thank you for accompanying me on this virtual adventure!

Richard George James Jackson.

Thank you and good reading,
