Either in regards to the current political situation, or for other reasons. What drew you to the idea of living in another country? Do you think whatever benefits it offers are really worth it, or is the grass just greener on the other side of the fence?
I moved to Portugal about three years back. Unrelated to politics, I just wanted a change. Life is overall much more peaceful and enjoyable here. Let me know if anyone has specific questions!
Any advice/tips for those looking to do the same?
I just spent a month there checking out Lisbon and Porto.
Definitely a lot of things that are different, some things better here or there, but I've only got a tiny perspective.
What are some of the things that surprised you over the long term. What are the worst parts of it?
What do you like most about the differences? Did you learn Portuguese / is it pretty common for locals to speak English? What is your favorite food there that's not as much a thing in the US?
