Posted from my blog: papillon-pam.blogspot.pt/2014/11/°µÍø½ûÇø-lonelinessdoes-it-get-any-better.html#more The rains have started here in Portugal. It's funny, when I first moved here two years ago, all I kept reading about was how good the ...

I wrote this original post 3 years ago now, and I am happy to say I made it through the loneliness period and am quite happily settled. Lisbon now is much more diverse, a popular destination and foreign investment has made it so there is a lot more ... Read More


Daily costs seem very high by Dajodesigns
Hello all. My husband and I arrived here from Canada in October. We have rented an apartment in the Cascais area. So far, we are finding things much more expensive then we had expected. We are over budget on just about everything. We like to cook at ...

Hi. Cascais already in general, is a bit more expensive to live and also you mention that you are in a short term tourist apartment. I live between Parede and Carcavelos in a top floor 2 bedroom apartment with a view of the ocean and pay 570 euros ... Read More

Hello, during these past weeks I have moved to Carcavelos, and my new place is about 300 meters from the beach. I must say this is a game changer and I am loving it. Still not sure about how it will be in the winter as so far I have hated the winter ... Read More

Healthcare in Portugal by Julien
Hi, how does the healthcare system work in Portugal ? Is it efficient ? What are the main differences between public and private sectors? Is it recommended to purchase private health insurance in Portugal? Thanks in advance for sharing ...

Hi. When I first arrived in Portugal my company didn't provide health insurance and when I needed to be seen, once for a twisted knee and a few other times for internal health issues, I asked around and actually went to the Hospital Santa Maria ... Read More

Hi Anzarina, Lol. Yes, it does kind of feel like the dark ages here sometimes simply because of people's attitudes. I mean I lived in the US before I came here - mostly in progressive San Francisco, and of course sometimes it feels like I have ... Read More

Hey Carol, Do you still live here in Portugal? Where are you from originally? I am interested in why you find the Portuguese to be so unfriendly...I have found that too, but not as a general stereotype - there are obviously exceptions in every ... Read More

Hi Phillip2015, totally agree with you. I don't know if Portugal is necessarily the place I will "end up", perhaps, or maybe not. It's a good resting place for where I want to be right now, and sometimes in life you just have to ... Read More

Thank you Dirk, I share your opinion. I don't think it's a trap for dreamers, but a reality for anyone who just wants to get out there and do something different. Its all about the courage. It works for some, doesn't work for others. ... Read More
