I have been to Brazil many times, and yes, I was mugged - but it was due to my own stupidity. Never go to a dark beach at 2am with a nice shiny watch...even in the USA!
Anyway to answer your question - dont try to 'move' your stuff to brazil. You will get mugged through all the taxes!!! Sell what you can, and you will benefit by a 2:1 (or better) exchange rate to the real (currency). DEPENDING on where you move to, you can either go great or bust. SP and RJ are very expensive. Especially in electronics (so dont sell your laptop - bring it).
LEARN PORTUGUESE!!!!! You will need it.
Finally, living in brazil and earning a living in brazil is very expensive everywhere. If you are only doing it for training using a conversion of US dollar, then you will be fine. If you plan to stay, this is another issue.

The northeast region has the best beaches (try these estates: Ceara, Pernambuco and Bahia). But there are more job expectatives in the south region (estates of Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul). The Southeast Region, where Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo are, is very populated and with high levels of violence, so think twice to go there. (If you have money, you can buy your protection: secure apartments, cars, etc.) The Middle-East Region is too agricolar. Brazilia (Brazil's capital) is in this region. And the North Region is too... green! Kilometers of tropical forest. We are worried about this region, because of the wood enterprises. It's very important for you to keep your documents alright, because our Federal Police is very hard with non registered foreign people. I suggest you to look for languague schools such as Yazigi Internexus and Wizard, they often get american and britsh people with some skill to work as a teacher. Resuming, the "wild beach life" is in Northeast Region. And the "high level life", in the South Region. Sorry for this english. I am brazilian.

I lived in Brasil for 25 years and i never been muged. As any place in the world you just need to know where to go, what time and with whom , and you'll be fine.
The cost is a lot less then here, for each dollar is 2,15 real (brasilian money).
