We are a family of 4, my wife and I are 53 and have been fortunate to retire young. We are looking into retirement in Portugal where we have vacationed for extended periods (2-4 weeks) every year for the last 25 years. Our children feel as if they have grown up there and we have a good amount of friends in Cascais & Estoril area. We are very interested to hear from others who have moved to Portugal. Please, anyone, any input/ advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Jim,

I am Canadian that moved here last year. I also moved my company from Toronto Canada to Lisbon.

If there is anything specific you need to know or require help, feel free to contact me!

Portugal is an asesome place for various reeasons as you know,. Still relatively cheap, great weather and verylaid back lifestyle (too laid back in business) lol.

I speak Portuguese and I am located downtown Lisboa.

Regards and good luck
Jo
