Hello!

I was just wondering about your situation when you first expatriated, such as your age, whether you had children or not, and how you came to the decision to expatriate

    I always wanted to go to a different country than my own, to be more specific I wanted NYC for as long as I remember as I grew up. I worked at one of the big 4 Consulting firms and even approached the move to the NY office. But then I found out that consulting was not for me, I started dating someone and I just kept falling in love with living in Lisbon. Changed careers and a few years later we broke up (2014) and I started wondering about being what they call now a digital nomad. But having a dog I always thought it could be harder to manage alone in a different country, and then I started dating someone else. Nothing happened for a few years and now at 42 and partner 39, with two kids and still my dog. There was always that option on our table, as his company is Spanish and they would often approach the topic with him. Until there was an actual offer and we decided to accept and here we go in the beginning of next year. Truth is our change will be from the country next door, we’re going to just drive there with all our belongings and kids in tow! I hope it’ll be fun and a new adventure!
