It really depends on where you want to go. There's the Amazon in the North, some beautiful beaches (and our pet desert) in the North-East, our greatest cities in the South-East, the capital and some beautiful mountains in the Midwest, and our little Europe in the South.
As for Brazilian women, the further South you go, the hotter they are. Though the further North you go, the bigger their behinds tend to be if that's what you're looking for :p

Oh. Well, in that case, you'd probably want to visit Rio (as it is the most famous destination), Ouro Preto (a bit far from the beach, it's our historical centre), São Paulo - there's more stuff to do there than in the whole Northern region combined, and perhaps Foz do Iguaçu because it's much cooler (and accessible) than the Amazon and has some wonderful waterfalls.
I like it here in Brasília, though the city is not exactly a tourist destination apparently. There are some minor waterfalls around the city, and the city is famous worldwide for its architecture.
Much like in the US, our culture has been shaped chiefly by European immigrants and African slaves, though there's a sizeable minority that came from Asia and there are the Native Brazilians that remain. We've been quick to engage in intercultural bonking right from the beginning, so blondes usually have some African blood in them and what we call Afro-Brazilians usually have many more European ancestors than the average African person. And we all tend to have some Native Brazilian heritage too...
I can probably trace ancestors back to some 10 countries :p

Wow. Sounds complex. :p
So, what's up with the psychology? are you working in the area or is it just a hobby?
Lira
Sort of both. I study language/linguistics and being a philosophy freak is a good advantage, because it gives me insights that I find quite useful. Psychology, therefore, would be more of a hobby than a proper part of my career, though I do need to read the occasional book/article every now and then... though I'm guilty of reading a lot of unnecessary stuff :D
And you? What do you do/like/study?

I know some people that work as translators (maybe not exactly what you plan on doing later) for major companies and making alot of money.
When I was a kid (13-15) I was reading Kafka & Albert Camus and slowly moved into Nietzsche, however it was too difficult at the time so I skipped it. I restarted reading his work (the Gay Science)last year, but I somehow gave up in the middle. So I picked up a book of life philosophy by a Romanian author called Emil Cioran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Cioran which was simply mind-blowing but VERY complicated. It dealt with major aspects of life and the way he was writing was....well you know when the author loses oneself in one's work (I recommend "Heights of Despair").
Now I read a book on quantum physics (for dummies so to speak) written by a guy called Anthony Peak also "Philosophy in the bedroom" by Marquis de Sade. I find it interesting, but very shallowly written.
As for studies, medicine, which leaves me absent of much spare time.
I enjoy:
Coca Cola (big addict, yea I'm not as cool as the pot-smokers here on Ta)
House music (of course)
Maltesers candy (you should test them if you haven't)
Tv-shows (Frasier, Dexter, Nip/tuck)
Restaurant dining

Besides the creep factor, she cheats a bit by doing a couple of aussie accents and leaving out a few notable ones such as:
* Boston
* Hispanic
* Asian
* African American urban
* Jamaican

Hah, I'm drinking Coca-cola right now :p
Yeah, perhaps the best philosophy books for the absolute beginner are those you can find in the English language: Bertrand Russell is very clear, and David Hume is not exactly a hard nut to crack; however, German and French philosophers are often so obscure you wonder if what they're saying means anything at all, heh.
Medicine? That's very nice. I wish I knew more about the human body, specially the human brain, but I've already come to grips with the fact that I need to draw the line somewhere.
Maltese candy? I don't think I know anything about Malta other than the language (surprise! :p). What do you recommend? And how did you get into Medicine?
And, more to the point, where in Europe are you? I don't reckon it's 5:30 AM in Bangladesh right now :p
