Quirkyalone noun/adj. A person who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than dating for the sake of being in a couple. Also, a book, a movement, and an international holiday that happens to fall on February 14. Still confused? Read on.

This blog is written by Sasha Cagen, the creator of the quirkyalone concept. It's about everyday life, pop culture, relationships, and politics.

Quirkyalone in Brazil! SoSingular em Brasil!

July 28, 2008

What’s the most quirkyalone country in South America? Or dare I say, the most quirkyslut? I’m hazarding a guess that it’s Brazil. Don’t worry, Brasileiros, being a quirkyslut is a good thing.

How do I know this?

The Brazilians have published their own Portuguese edition of Quirkyalone. Unlike the Danish and the Germans, they translated the title; so for Brazilians, it’s SoSingular: Um Manifesto para Romanticos Irredutiveis.

I may also soon know from experience. I’m planning a three-week vision quest (ahem, vacation) in Brazil–specifically, in Salvador, Trancoso, and Rio this September. There must be plenty of Brazilian QAs out and about, I wanted to let the quirkyalone community know that I am coming!

If you happen to live in Salvador, Rio, or even Trancoso, or know a quirkyalone who does, let me know because I would love to meet you and potentially we could meet up with others at a bar or cafe.

I like, no love your site. I had no Idea there are quirkysluts and that you working on a way for all those quirkysluts find each other. Finally someone is taking this seriously ! Because none have come to my door ringing the doorbell. And frankly it should be a crime for quirkysluts to be alone. Thank you for all your hard work!

What a surprise when I opened this site and found this post. I live in Salvador and I’m a 100% quirkyalone guy. I guess that you already went here last month (september)… I would love to know what you thought about the city and about Brazil in general!

Hey!!!

What a huge surprise! I’m brazilian, and live in Salvador (As Leo, in the top). I’ve “become” quirkyalone it makes 7 months. I was living a desperate relationship with a guy who didn’t want to respect me and my wishes. And when i found your book, at a store, something called my attention. It was written to me!
Then, now, I’M FREE! To live my life, to hang out with my friends… absolutely loving myself!

I hope you enjoyed the trip, and when you can, come to Salvador, to the carnival, and as the song says: “We are carnaval…whe are the world of carnaval, we are Bahia”

Kisses!
