My first visit to Portugal was in the summer of 2006. Right before going to University in the Netherlands. Never would I have imagined then that I would come to live in this country, though many years later.

After the pandemic, I moved here for work. Yet frequently travelling in between Lisbon (my home base) and Barcelona still. A nice change of quality of life. But I would not say living in Dublin before was not great either. It is just different.
