Resumo: | Voluntary international mobility requires greater responsibility, given that there is no structure and organizational support for the challenge of living in another country. The aim of this study is to analyze the intercultural adaptation process of Brazilian immigrants and self-initiated expatriates in “off-axis” countries (less sought after/without a structured community of Brazilians) based on their reports and interactions on YouTube channels. The study employs a qualitative approach, with narrative research of four individuals. The data were collected between March and May of 2021 according to the following categories: intercultural adaptation; types of adaptation; structure and functioning of the channel. We confirmed the applicability of the theories of intercultural adaptation to analyze voluntary mobility, but with the need to consider specific aspects, such as advance adjustment actions, the influence of the channels on the focus and effort to adapt to the general environment and interact with the locals, and the emergence of individual aspects and behaviors (such as flexibility to change and self-knowledge), which were shown to be relevant for the intercultural adaptation process in voluntary mobility. As a theoretical contribution, it is understood that to use the theories about intercultural adaptation with the aim of analyzing voluntary mobility it is necessary to consider some specific aspects of this type of mobility while still in the country of origin, the weight and importance of each adaptation environment for the voluntary expatriate’s objective, and how much that experience is shared and exposed on different media with their respective impact on choices and (re)creation of meanings. |

A mobilidade internacional voluntária exige maior responsabilidade, visto que não há estrutura e suporte organizacional para o desafio de viver em outro país. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o processo de adaptação intercultural de brasileiros imigrantes e autoexpatriados em países “fora do eixo” (menos procurados/sem comunidade estruturada de brasileiros) a partir de seus relatos e interações em canais no YouTube. O estudo emprega abordagem qualitativa, com pesquisa narrativa de quatro indivíduos. Os dados foram coletados entre março e maio de 2021 de acordo com as categorias: adaptação intercultural; tipos de adaptação; estrutura e funcionamento do canal. Confirmou-se a aplicabilidade das teorias de adaptação intercultural para analisar a mobilidade voluntária, porém com necessidade de considerar aspectos específicos, como as ações de ajuste antecipado, a influência dos canais no foco e esforço de adaptação ao ambiente geral e de interação com os locais e o surgimento de aspectos e comportamentos individuais (como flexibilidade à mudança e autoconhecimento), que se mostraram relevantes para o processo de adaptação intercultural na mobilidade voluntária. Como contribuição teórica, compreende-se que para utilizar as teorias sobre adaptação intercultural com o intuito de analisar a mobilidade voluntária é necessário considerar alguns aspectos específicos desse tipo de mobilidade ainda no país de origem, o peso e importância de cada ambiente de adaptação para o objetivo do expatriado voluntário e o quanto essa experiência é compartilhada e exposta em diferentes meios com o seu respectivo impacto nas escolhas e (re)criação de significados.
