Moving to Portugal ???????? Interview & HOW TO Live Comfortably (2021)

Carl Munson is a first time expat (immigrant) from the UK that's been in Portugal for 3 years. He moved to Portugal with certain job expectations and then things quickly changed. Carl has since adapted and pivoted his work in the midst of Covid-19 uncertainty.

Carl does a great job of explaining what life is like for those living outside of Porto and Lisbon. He shares a ton of smaller cities and towns that people should consider for a more affordable, comfortable Portuguese lifestyle.

He's found his voice as the host of Good Morning Portugal which is a part of Expat Portugal, a resource for expat thinking about moving to Portugal or ones that already live in Portugal. Check out Expat Portugal here: https://expatsportugal.com/?wpam_id=4

We have recently launched a course to help DIY the D7 visa for Portugal. The course includes step-by-step videos, checklists, resources, recommendations, discounts, and more. It breaks down the timeline and when and how to do things, plus gives action items to keep you on task but not be overwhelmed. Check it out here: https://expatseverywhere.thinkific.com/
