HI we're considering relocating to Portugal in the next 4 years. We will be coming over for a visit next year in May.
Would like to meet up with some expats to discuss living in Portugal.
Would appreciate any feedback or opinions on the pros and cons. I've done much research and read many articles.
Would be lovely to actually have friends there before we arrive.

Cheers
Mercy

Hi Mercy, where are you in the USA? I am traveling to So Cal and the NYC area over the next 6 weeks. Maybe we can talk. I have been in Lagos for 10 months so far and love it.
