Welcome to the first episode of The Expat Diaries: A Year In Portugal.

In this episode I’ll be chatting all about the process of deciding to move overseas and what you need to do to make it happen.

There’s so much to think about and do when moving overseas. Deciding where you want to go, when you’ll do it, what are the visa requirements for your chosen country, figuring out where you’ll live once you get there, lining up a job, booking your flight, what you’ll do with all the stuff you currently own, and all the other logistical things that come with moving overseas. It’s a lot!!

But don’t worry I’ll be going through all of that in today’s episode so you feel more prepared for your overseas move!
