Returning to Italy after years brings a mix of nostalgia and fresh experiences. The blend of familiar streets, old friends, and the distinct flavors of Italian cuisine is both comforting and exhilarating. Visiting Rovigo, my Italian "hometown," and reconnecting with friends while experiencing life in Italy has made this trip special. Spending time here, collaborating on the Italian Citizenship and Real Estate Podcasts with my good friend Marco Permunian, adds layers to my experience of expat life in Italy. Despite changes over time, the deep connection I feel to this place remains strong, making every moment rich and something I might be able to reccomend for anyone considering expat life in Italy.

Are you thinking about traveling around Portugal? In this expat living abroad travel podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we'll go over some of the options and what to do when getting around. We'll also go over some of the options you have available to you domestically as well as how to travel to Portugal with some of the travel tips and tricks I've picked up. This week I had to go on a trip to Lisbon for some meetings and was realizing that trying to figure out how get around Portugal can be a little confusing before you have the basics under your belt. Depending on where you are in Portugal, you'll have various options to get around locations while you're traveling in Lisbon, traveling in Porto... the Algarve, and the North of Portugal. Even if you decide to move to Portugal, knowing the basics of how to get around can be quite important so you can take full advantage of what expat life in Portugal has to offer.

After I left the USA, I came to find there were many other people who weren't of the same mindset that I was regarding staying abroad. I couldn't even fathom why a person would want to move back to their country after living abroad. But as time has passed, I've come to understand what motivating factors would make a person want to consider another ‘move abroad’ back to their home country and racking up yet another international move.  Expat life can be fun but life abroad of course comes with many challenges and things that you need to become used to. Sometimes working abroad may not afford a person the same opportunities that they have for work back in their country of origin. Living abroad isn't for everyone, but definitely there are points to consider and also after years of living abroad, it's easier to approach the idea with a clear picture. Approaching the move to another country comes along with a lot to consider, even if it's back to the country that you're from. In this expat living abroad podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, well go over some of what you may want to take into consideration if you're thinking about repatriating back to your home country.

Whether you're going to live in Portugal or travel to Portugal, there are a few things you may want to avoid during your time in this country.

It doesn't matter if you're an American in Portugal or you are from any other country, there are certain things you may want to keep in mind. Some of these things may come as second nature and others may seem so simple that they may be easy to overlook. In this living abroad expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we'll go over some do's and don'ts for living in Portugal so you can enjoy expat life in Portugal to the fullest!

During my time living abroad I've found there are certain apps I use more than others that help with day-to-day life and help you to be able to accomplish what you need in your expat life. Having experienced life living in Portugal as well as living in Italy among other countries I can say that it's important to try and figure out how to optimize some of the simplest things as well to be able to connect with what happens where you are and link into what is going on in your location. These apps and categories of apps are some of the ones that I use the most or can recommend using. I would recommend if you haven't yet moved abroad to look out and get a feel for these so you're not, so to speak, trying to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time. Moving to another country already comes with so many things to think about, why ad a few extra things on top.

It's crazy how quickly these 6 months have gone by since moving to Portugal. Day by day it feels more and more like home, I've always enjoyed Portugal, but since moving to Braga I can say that I really have developed a new appreciation for what this country has to offer. Living in Portugal comes with some hurdles to conquer, however once you have landed and gotten the ball rolling, life in Portugal really takes shape and shows you what it has to offer. Out of all of the countries that I could recommend to someone to live abroad, Portugal would be one of the top choices on that list.
