From First Impressions to Now: 2 Years in Portugal as an American

Kalie from ExpatsEverywhere sits down with Dave, an American who has moved to Portugal. He found out that he couldn't afford to live in Lisbon so he chose the Silver Coast where he has a car and bought a property with some land. Dave has been here a couple of years now and has mingled with the Portuguese. He also runs a YouTube channel about his experiences. They talk about culture shock, what Portugal is really like for a foreigner, things to expect, and so much more. Dave's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@daveinportugal 🌏 ABOUT US Hi!
