Living In Portugal - My 1st month in Braga vs Living in Italy

01/07/22 • 30 min

I've been living in Portugal for just over a month so far and have been enjoying living in Braga. There are many differences I've come to see when comparing life in Portugal to living in Italy; everything from the people and culture to the food and even opening a bank account in Portugal and renting an apartment in Portugal. Even though moving to Portugal was something I hadn't planned to do, I'm quite grateful for the opportunity I've been given to explore living here. As a expat in Portugal I'm quite excited to get to know this country even better and explore more of this beautiful country.

After almost 5 years since moving to Italy of course, I have plenty to say. As we approach the end of this year, I can't help reflect on these past years in Italy and what I experienced there, the ups and downs, the positives and negatives, and to look at what I can take away from these moments in my own expat life in Italy. In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, I thought I would take this opportunity for the last video of 2021 to talk about these thoughts regarding life after a move to Italy and living abroad in Italy.
