Olá! My name is Ali and I am glad that you found this.

What started as a paradigm shift – moving to Portugal – has now turned into a life-shifting adventure for me. Expat Life PT is much more than just a blog; it serves as a community and an information repository for those wondering about living in one of the warmest and beautiful countries in Europe.

The Motivation Behind My Blog

After relocating to Portugal, I was plagued with these bunch of questions.

What kind of a visa do I get?

Which city do I settle in, Lisbon, Porto, or Algarve?

How do I go about the healthcare, housing, and social networking?

I created Expat Life PT in an attempt to assist others regarding what I learned through a lot of testing, a lot of connecting, and a lot of failing. Whether one is attempting to make an overseas move or is already settled there and desires to explore or integrate into the culture and lifestyle, my aspiration is to make everything better, easier, and enjoyable.
