Honestly guys, I wouldn't want my mother coming with me on my trip to visit my boyfriend, either. I mean c'mon, think about it, would you all really be OK with that? I AM somebody's mother and, just...no.
OP, if you've done your research, and you've done a bit of traveling already, and you DO NOT GO DURING WORLD CUP, you might be OK. The thing is, until you're supporting yourself, your mom has a say in what you do, regardless of being 18. I don't know how you can persuade her, she isn't wrong in her feelings really. I think the best you can do is see if there's any way he can get approved for a visa to come here, I'm not sure where Brazil falls in ease of getting a US visa, but I'm assuming not very high up, considering it's a Latin America country, but you could try.
Traveling is great, but it doesn't seem like a viable option for you right now. Maybe you should work on winning your mom over for a while, maybe she'll eventually come around. You could just go and do it anyway, but that could cause big problems at home, and might not be worth the risk. I think you need to take some more time to think about this and plan.
