Portugal choose me

Find a job in Portugal – Where do you need to start?!   Hi, I am Iris (Dutch) and I work and live in Portugal since the 27th of August 2019. When I decided that I wanted to make the step to move to Portugal, I had many questions. The most important one: Where do I start? Well, let me share with you my journey and make it easier for you!  I decided what I wanted to do First thing first: what do I want? I really wanted to go to Portugal (for the reason you can read my article pros and cons - living and working in Portugal), but I didn’t want to do nothing over there. I am still young and to live somewhere, you need money. At least, I assume that people around my age don’t have money to lay down in the sun for the rest of theirs lives without working. If you have that kind of life, please contact me, I want it too!

I think you can describe José as a typical Portuguese guy. He grew up Portugal and he is living here his entire life. I know José now for about 1,5 years and out of that I can make some conclusions. Ready? Doing the laundry I noticed that José don´t mind to clean or to cook (in fact, the cooking part he is doing really good). There is just one thing that he would never do or touch: the laundry. If he sees the bag with the laundry, he keeps at least 2 meters distance like it is a dangerous animal. Doing everything toge...

  Pros and cons – living and working in Portugal Hi! I am Iris and I decided to change my life and moved to Portugal. Best choise of my life! If you are thinking to move to another country this article may be nice for you to read. I would like to give you an idea of my pros and cons of living and working in Portugal. Enjoy!    Pros 1.    Living a more tranquil life. For me number 1 is very important. When I lived in the Netherlands I was always rushing, things needed to be done right away and I hated it when someone was late again. I realized that if you would ask someone how it was going, the answer was always ´´I am busy´´. It was almost like being busy was a good thing. Now in Portugal I learned how to relax and enjoy my time. It almost looks like no one experiences stress here and people are so happy! If you cannot do something today, you can do it tomorrow. And a big change: now I became the person that is sometimes late.. oops. 2.  ...
