✨ Two years ago, I packed up my life in the U.S. — three suitcases and my puppy — and moved to Portugal. I didn’t speak the language, didn’t know a soul, and honestly had no idea what was waiting for me. But I knew deep down this was where I was meant to be.
In this live, I’m celebrating my 2-year anniversary of living in Portugal and sharing the 15 biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way — from navigating culture shocks (yes, Portuguese drivers are wild 😅) to embracing slow living, building community, learning Portuguese, and discovering more freedom and joy than I ever imagined.
If you’ve ever dreamed of moving abroad — or just want an inside look at what life in Portugal is really like — this one’s for you. 🥂
