This month marks five years since I moved to Portugal and it’s definitely not the life I planned. I arrived with a loose idea of how things would go, but three major events changed everything. In this vlog, I look back at five years of twists, turns, lessons, and unexpected adventures… and share what I’ve learned (and where life might go next).
