Hello Jon and Amy, what a small world it is. I am a California chiro who has been living in New Zealand for the last 16 years now traveling in The Neherlands. I am interested in relocating into the Algave or Lisbon area and working as a chiro what else. My wife amanda is still in NZ until I get it together here on this side of the world. Would love to meet up and see what sparks fly. We have six children
in a blended family two still at home. Would love to hear your experiences and share mine. Thom

My cousin's husband is a chiro living in Portimao for the last 6-7 years. He came from Canada and moved out there to start his practise. I know he's expanded his practise to Albufeira and Lisbon. You may be interested in speaking with him. Let me know if you are and I can ask him for his contact info.

Hello back and thanks for that. Yes I am very interested in getting back to work
for all of the obvious reasons. I would love his contact info and as of now I am
soon to be in Portugal to meet up with Dr. Andrew Hatch in Lisbon and go from
there. I sent you my email address on the last submitted message but it didnt
work some how. I am on skype as thom.zydervelt and gmail at the same
name so maybe that will work. cheers Thom

I will pass your info along to him so he can get in touch with you. I'm not sure if the language will be an issue, but you can talk to him about it. I know he recently hired an American chiro to help take care of his Lisbon clients. He may have an opportunity for you aswell, or at the very least can give you advice and help you network.

Hello Palmeiro not sure of your name. Yes that would be great I have began networking and enjoyed the chiros I have talked to so far. Am working on booking a ticket and will be in Portugal in the next week or so. Thank you for your support.
Am planning on flying to Lisbon and traveling by train to Faro and bus to Lagos.
If anyone knows anyone there. cheers thom

Hi Thom

It's good to see you are careful with your email address. In the last week i have seen a number of members who have been putting their correct address. I hope that these other members see how you dealt with inserting your email.
