Exploring Portugal as American Expats

Post new topic

dcolangelo

My wife and I are exploring the opportunities of either retiring in Portugal full time or part time from Florida.   My wife is of Colombian accent, and I am born and raised in Pennsylvania and now Florida for the past 45 years.  We are looking for a stable environment, quality of food, golf and just enjoying others along life's journey.   We live in the Tampa, FL area now and would like to visit Portugal for a few weeks asap to check things out.


If there is anyone that can reach out to me about living in Portugal it would be much appreciated.


Sincerely,


David Colangelo

Dear David,

We live in your neighborhood (Clearwater/Dunedin).

We are also on the way moving to Portugal.

Last March (2024) we were there and next month we will go once again.

If you are interested, we can share our findings.

Send me a message.

@Hans4. Great to hear from you…. Yes any info that you can pass on would be great.  I have lived in Oldsmar for the past 24 years and just moved to Brooksville Fl.


When are you going back to Portugal?


How long will you stay?


I have many questions.


Sincerely


David
