What do you guys know about living in Portugal?

8. I know nothing about living in Portugal.

My heart is heavily set on Italy, however it looks like Portugal could be in the realm of international possibilities.



I've been learning about Italy to get the information that I need, such as the houses, tornados, earthquakes, voting, banking, and shopping. For example, southern Italy has an abundant amount of tornados but because their houses are constructed from stone, unlike American homes, it's less likely that homes are destroyed from a tornado. I've also learned that Italian citizens vote for members of Congress and not the President. Their Congress is who votes for the President. Topics like these are important to know when considering being an American expat in a foreign country.



My best advice is to go to YouTube and search "American Expats in Portugal" which will bring up tons of videos that you can learn from.

I've been watching YouTubers called The Portugal Project which is interesting.
