Let me start by saying I've been a long time lurker on this site. I never had anything to contribute before, but now I am in need of some advice.

, but I would greatly appreciate it if you read the entire post. Thanks.]
Since I was about 15/16 (borderline 21 now) I have been dying to go to Brazil. Actually it has been the entire world, with Brazil being my #1. Something about the culture of Brazil, and the beautiful women, appealed to me. My interest in traveling is what led me to this site 4 or so years ago. After I turned 18 I was going to go to Brazil. Well It makes more sense to finish high school, given the few months remaining. Hold on, I was just accepted to college, so I'll study abroad during. Wait a minute, I can't study abroad and graduate on time given my major, so I'll go after I graduate? I am sure you've noticed, but it took me a while to realize there's always an excuse for me to keep postponing. I need to get the ball rolling on this adventure.
This epiphany struck after a vacation I went on recently.
During my spring 2013 semester, I decided to change majors and transfer to a university more reputable for my new academic pursuit. I was accepted for the spring of 2014 semester, the earliest semester for which I could apply. I took an academic sabbatical in fall 2013, to avoid having too many credits. It has been an exceptionally boring couple of months. My mother decided to book a seven day cruise in early December because it has been a while since my family has been on a vacation together. My feelings towards the trip where that of indifference, but whatever it gave me something to do.
On the second day of the trip, which was entirely at sea, I hopped in the hot tub. I noticed that the two people across from me, girl and boy, where Brazilian. I could tell just by looking at them. I was hesitant to engage them, for fear they weren't from Brazil, but I did and they were. They were both younger than me, but the girl was much closer to my age.
I ended up hanging out with them a couple of times throughout the remainder of our trip. The girl was by far the coolest of all the women I have ever met . She was interested in so many awesome things, but was still girly. (Basically she was cool without being gross? If that makes sense.) For the first time ever I WANTED to hang out with a member of the opposite sex for the mere purpose of hanging out. She wasn't checking here phone every ten seconds, she didn't talk about stupid shit that I would pretend to be interested in, and she didn't act like a mentally/physically handicapped imbecile when it came to physical activities (i.e. arcade games, ping pong, activities you would find on a cruise). Words can't describe how much I liked her. She asked me to watch the thursday night Denver-San Diego game with her so I could explain the rules of football. Not only did she show up looking hot, she understood and retained the rules of the game.
I found out later that there where around sixty-five Brazilians on the cruise, of which I probably ran into half. I also made friends from other countries, but made the best connections with the Brasileiros. I thought it was odd that I was making good friends with these foreigners, and not anyone from the U.S. I later noticed I was chatting everyone up, but the people from the U.S. where busy with maintaing there distance, or hitting up the endless barrage of food at the buffet.
I realized I have to get out of this country. I need to experience the rest of the world. Not that I hate everyone here, I just don't feel like I fit in. Hanging out with the foreign females made me realize how much U.S. women suck ass. I use to think you guys on here where overstating how much they suck just to make point. I was blind, but now I see. The thought of trying to swing a local girl now leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I think since this was my first trip outside of the country as an adult, I realized how unappealing American culture is. Especially since I was on a trip where I could compare Americans and foreigners. Don't get me wrong the U.S. is great, but maybe not the best option for me. I felt that I had made a better connection speaking broken portuguese/english with the Brazilians, than I had with 99% of my fellow citizens I knew for quite some time.
Now, finally, this is where your advice comes into play. The once exciting thought of going to a new univ. is just a repulsive and distant speck shadowed by my revived desire to go to Brazil. I want to find someone who is talented with a camera and make a sort of documentary or something about my travels in Brazil (I know it sounds kind of gay, but I think it would be cool). Is this feasible? How much money would I need? I would like to start off somewhere in RG do Sul, make my way up to Fortaleza. I would like to start before March 2014. Is it likely for me to find anyone to join me? I feel like a lot of these answers would depend on how my camera companion and I decide to make our video, but generalized advice is welcome. I am dead set on doing this, despite my parents pushing me to finish school, which I plan on completing. I just want to start living my life, instead of constantly preparing to live my life. What do you think about my plans; go for it, or crazy?
P.S. Sorry about the length.

It has been covered in the forums before but these guy's are dope. The cameraman is a friend of the host so i'm sure it wasn't too expensive for them to shoot this.
