Life in Portugal: Lessons from an Expat on Creating a New Home Abroad (with Nancy Whiteman

Portugal has become one of the most talked-about destinations for expats—and for good reason. But what’s the reality behind the glossy headlines and Instagram posts? In this conversation with a fellow expat, we dug into the day-to-day truths of making a life in Portugal: the opportunities, the challenges, and the cultural adjustments that don’t show up in the brochures.

This wasn’t a sugarcoated story. We discussed the balancing act between affordability and bureaucracy, the nuances of fitting into Portuguese society, and the lessons learned from navigating visas, housing, and healthcare. It’s a deep look at what works—and what requires patience—when you choose to make Portugal your home.

If you’re considering Portugal as part of your relocation journey, or just want to hear what it’s really like on the ground, this replay is a must-watch.
