Two years ago, I flew from DC to Lisbon on a D7 visa to make a new home. I knew little about Portugal but enough to know that I wanted to try living here.
I made the move on my own, using online resources and groups. I learned everything else on the ground—things that can only be learned through experience by living in a place.
There were ups and downs, but I love my life here in Lisbon! I work remotely, enjoy everything the city has to offer, and have met many interesting people. You can find out more about me here.
Along the way, I’ve helped many others make their move to Portugal.
I can help you too. I offer consultations to answer your questions and concerns about moving to Portugal.
Here’s how it works:
- Send me a message with the main topics/ questions you want to discuss during a 60-minute consultation.
- I’ll reply with my availability, payment options, etc. (If I am not the best person to answer your questions, I’ll let you know.)
- We’ll make an appointment to meet via zoom or a voice call to answer your questions.
- After our call, I will send you any relevant links and resources. (I do not use your time during the call to dig these up and send them to you.)
The fee for this consultation is 150 US$/€/£ This amount is payable in full before our call and is non-refundable. I also offer packages for ongoing support if needed.
