We Finally Made It to Portugal | Our Moving Day Vlog

Our American family just arrived in Portugal — and after months of planning our move to Portugal from the US, this was the day it all finally became real. In this moving abroad vlog, we take you through our full arrival day as an expat family: from our final hours in the US to our first steps on Portuguese soil, and our very first night in our new home. If you're dreaming about expat life in Portugal, this is the Portugal vlog we wish we'd had before we booked our flights. We also break down the 4 real reasons we chose Portugal over other expat destinations — cost of living Portugal, quality of life, climate, and culture — and why the D7 visa made it possible for our American family to take this leap. Living in Portugal as an expat family has been everything we hoped — and nothing like we expected.
