Hello all, I am planning on moving to Portugal in the not too distant future and was wondering if anybody has any experiences they want to share?
I have stayed in Portugal with my wife's family and really loved it. Coming from Melbourne I am not expecting to have the same excitement or luxuries as I get here but I am not moving for that, I am moving so I can live closer to Europe and experience another culture.
I am also planning on moving to Porto, as it's closer to my wifes family and also I prefer Porto to Lisboa or The Algarve. I speak quite a bit of Portuguese but do you think it is neccessary to be fluent if I am going to work there? How many expats on this forum speak Portuguese??
Anyway, just thought I would see what others have thought of the move, it's always good to hear different stories.
Cheers
