To quote the eternally bad-boy-sexy British punk rock band The Clash, “Should I stay or should I go now?”. . . deciding to move abroad is a BIG DEAL and not a decision to be taken lightly.
Why? You are not a 25-year-old tossing everything in your parent's basement and trotting off for a gap year. This is pulling the plug on life as you know it. I’m here to help you do it successfully and thrive in your new adopted country.
So before you start blowing a lot of hot air to friends about how you’re going to swing in a hammock all day, get very clear on your motives for living abroad.
After all, moving overseas involves changing how you do everything in life—I mean everything! Learn the initial questions to ask yourself from my experience immigrating to Portugal from the United States. Knowing what you want (and don’t want) in your new life is vital to your success.
