Good post. I was lucky enough to visit Rio de Janeiro some years ago. What a place!
I find mentors are everywhere if you reframe what to expect from this relationship. They're in books, courses, videos and online. You can even view influencers on Steemit as mentors if you're willing to learn from them.
A mentor/student relationship doesn't have to be a traditional 1:1 relationship.
