Portugal. Because I was living in Italy before living in Portugal, I often can't help myself but compare and contrast these two places as well as think about what it's like living in Portugal as an American.... I've come to have a new understanding of what expat life can be like now as an expat in Portugal, and even since coming here, there have been moments I have wondered if Braga is the best choice for me or if I should have thought about living in Lisbon. In this expat living abroad episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, I'll share my thoughts about life in Portugal as an expat after these first 10 months of living here after moving abroad yet again...
