RE: 7 years on Hive - The 7 Year Itch

in #hive5 months ago

Happy Hiverversary! A big one :D Here's to seven more. Honestly, your place there looks awesome. Might I ask what part of life in Portugal is the clincher for you? What keeps you there, as it were. I was just talking to somebody about living in Portugal for a while, and your post came right on time, hence the query :D
Congrats!!

The weather sure helps. Leaving a country with 200 days of rain per year for one with 300 days of sun ( rough estimate ) sure makes a difference. I also have a twin sister, who used to have a Portuguese partner. I have a strong bond with my twister and my niece and nephew. They decided to move to Portugal, back in 2018. I had already tried living in Spain and spoke Spanish, so I decided to give Portugal a try, this time. I stayed.

Also, life in The Netherlands ( for a creative like me ) was impossibly expensive and I struggled loads there, feeling quite depressed and totally burnout. Plus Portugal has mountains and The Netherlands hasn't.

Need I go on? ;<)
