Moving to Portugal 🇵🇹 Interview & HOW TO Live Comfortably

Carl Munson is a first time expat (immigrant) from the UK that's been in Portugal for 3 years. He moved to Portugal with certain job expectations and then things quickly changed. Carl has since adapted and pivoted his work in the midst of Covid-19 uncertainty. Carl does a great job of explaining what life is like for those living outside of Porto and Lisbon. He shares a ton of smaller cities and towns that people should consider for a more affordable, comfortable Portuguese lifestyle. He's found his voice as the host of Good Morning Portugal which is a part of Expat Portugal, a resource for expat thinking about moving to Portugal or ones that already live in Portugal.
