You probably want to know how things are going in Portugal. Because it’s a hot destination, I receive daily messages from friends and acquaintances asking:

  • Visa requirements: “How can I move to Portugal?”

  • Cost of Living: “How much does it cost to live in Lisbon?”

  • Racism, sexist violence, and/or quality of life: “How is living in Portugal different from the U.S., and will it be safe for me and my family?”

  • Fun: “I’m coming to Portugal, what should I do?”

  • Work visas: “If I want to live there, do I need a work visa?”

  • Student visas: “Can I come to Portugal on a student visa?”

  • Language capabilities: “Do you have to know Portuguese to live there, or is it easy to get around if you only know English?”

  • Healthcare: “Do you have health insurance in Lisbon, and how much does it cost?”

  • Love and dating: “Are you still seeing that German guy? What’s the dating scene like over there?”

  • Housing: “You stopped posting house tours. Where are you living now, and did you ever buy a place?”

Tiny, Private Love Letter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

I might answer all of the above nuts and bolts questions in a series of updates. For now, I’m excited to finally share good news on the housing front.

As I’ve touched on this before, “I’m sooooo fucking tired of moving.” Thankfully, after two years of searching, I’ve finally found my forever home.

Via email, all current Tiny, Private Love Letter subscribers received the full-length house tour video and multiple photos. Keeping reading below to enjoy the tour!
