@mwl I moved my family to Portugal in 2022. It’s the hardest thing we’ve ever done. But there’s not a day that goes by that we aren’t confident it was the right move. And we love our life here even though it’s challenging (Dutch is almost certainly more difficult than Portuguese especially if you know Spanish but it’s the hardest of all the Latin languages and as someone who never spoke a second language and who came here at 40 it’s not easy mode).

That said immigrants have strained the Portuguese system. We’re not the only reason prices have gone up and people can’t afford to live - but we’re part of it. And I struggle with that reality internally every day.

I run two businesses - one US based and one Portuguese based. Feel free to DM me on signal if you have questions.
