How can we start?

Post new topic

Hi I'm Melis from Turkey. I am also Portuguese, because my mom is from Portugal. My daughter is also Portuguese. My spouse is from Turkey.

I am planning to move to Lisbon with my family but we need temerity to do this!  I work in a global energy drink company in Turkey but my dream is to open a patisserie and I want to do this in Lisbon. :)

How can we start?  Which areas we (who have a 3 years old daughter) need to check for rental houses and commercial shops?

Can you please tell me about education system?

You can be sure I will ask more when you reply me :)

Thank you !

Assertivity, courage, foresight, call it as you like, but not temerity :)

I am still in Brussels by the way and take off is difficult, in every sense of the word :(

As far as your practical questions are concerned, I'm afraid I cannot be of any help.

Let's be brave,
take care,
Pierre.

Hi,

You're right, that word doesn't mean what i want to mean. Courage is the word.

My questions are :

Can you please tell me about education system?

Thank you.

Unfortunately not, we have only adult children.
Would you opt for a private or public school ?
Where is it interesting to open your shop ?
Where statistically are Merveilleux, Baba au rhum & Eclairs au chocolat selling the best ?

For housing, I have the same interrogations as you do    :;
