In this Q&A-themed video, we give you our honest update after 8 weeks of living in Portugal! 🇵🇹
From starting demolition on our dream renovation project to dodging venomous caterpillars, this episode’s packed with the highs, lows, and surprises of our new life abroad.
We talk about the struggles of settling in—heavy rain, confusing bureaucracy, and unexpected renovation costs—and answer your questions about visas, culture shocks, regrets, and whether we’d ever move back to the UK.
