Who is behind the B4D website and forum?The B4D website and forum was created by the Brasilia Hash House Harriers because they saw the need for an interactive communication platform to share tips and experiences about life in Brasilia. Let us be honest, it can take some time to get used to living in Brasília and to be comfortable. While the Living Brasilia Forum and Expats Brasilia pages on Facebook are an excellent information source, the B4D website offers a searchable and interactive platform to search and share information and experiences about Brasilia.

Why do I have to sign up to the B4D website and forum?The B4D website and forum is for expats and their spouses to assure that the content reflects the interest of the target group.
