Shar Wynter was living in Atlanta earning about $180,000 as a management consultant for Deloitte. The job came with a lot of perks but entailed working long grueling hours. When her father passed away, she realized she needed a change and saved up $100,000 so she could take two years off. Wynter traveled to 40 countries before finally settling down in Lisbon, Portugal, where she’s currently living her “most freeing life” on about $2,500/month.
Here's Why Burned-Out Millennials Are Flocking To Portugal
Alexandra Ryan-Yavaşca wanted to settle down in her childhood hometown of San Diego, California, to raise a family with her husband Utku. But due to soaring housing costs, the 34-year-old can’t afford to live there like her parents — a teacher and public relations professional — could on middle-class salaries. Her childhood home, purchased in 1996 for more than $300,000, is now worth more than $1.2 million. In the summer of 2021, the Yavaşcas moved to Lisbon, Portugal, citing the affordable cost-of-living and laid-back culture as key reasons.
“It’s liberating to leave America,” Alexandra says. “Where can you live in the center of the city in America and look at the ocean and eat fresh seafood and work in your freelance entrepreneur lifestyle? The Yavaşcas are part of a wave of expats and digital nomads settling in Portugal in search of a better life. The number of foreign citizens living in Portugal — more than 714,000 — is at an all-time high, making up about 7% of the population in 2021, according to the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service.
The number of Americans residing in Portugal is at its highest level in more than a decade, according to agency data. There were about 7,000 Americans living in the country at the end of 2021, more than double three years earlier. The U.S. is the 24th most represented country among foreign residents in Portugal. As the pandemic and remote work transform the way we live and work, people are moving and changing careers based on what fulfills them most. “Previously, it seemed like Portugal was the destination to retire. And now it seems like it’s a cool destination to just start over,” says Mateusz Zurek, 35, who moved to Lisbon from Poland in early 2021 to co-found a restaurant with his American-Canadian business partner, Jahmarley Grant, 28. “The barrier to entry, to open a business is super low,” Grant adds. I’ve spoken to dozens of people who moved to Portugal in the last few years, to start a new venture or revamp their lifestyle. Many spoke about their move with a sense of renewal and hope, like they could finally live the life they envisioned, one that seemed unattainable where they came from.
Californians are packing up and moving to Portugal
In the last decade, the overall population in Portugal has declined even as the number of foreigners has grown by 40%. The number of U.S. citizens living in this land of 10 million rose 45% last year. Within the mix of retirees, digital nomads and young families, Californians are making themselves known in a country once considered the forgotten sibling of Spain.

Portugal, LISBON: Baixa de Lisboa, Praça do Comércio, Mercado da Ribeira
Hello Portugal! Lisbon has one very famous flat area downtown called Baixa de Lisboa (or simply Baixa), which is full of things to do and perfect to walk around. This is what you'll see in this video. We start at Praça do Comércio (Commerce square), then go up the Rua Augusta Arch, walk along Rua Augusta, where we enjoy wine tasting and ice cream. After a quick stop at Elevador de Santa Justa, the famous elevator connecting Baixa to Chiado, we walk to Rossio square. In this square, they have the pavement that inspired sidewalks all over the world. Finally, we cross Baixa again towards Cais do Sodré, walk along Pink Street (probably the most famous street for the after-party nightlife in Lisbon), and arrive at the historic Mercado da Ribeira, where today you find the trendy Time Out Market. Here you can sample dishes prepared by top Portuguese chefs in a friendly and fun atmosphere.

Why I Left My $180,000 Job To Move To Lisbon
在美国承受生活重压的千禧一代，在葡萄牙找到了新的理想生活
Shar Wynter was living in Atlanta earning about $180,000 as a management consultant for Deloitte. The job came with a lot of perks but entailed working long grueling hours.

游客区 其实比 城市外围还贵1倍.
坐地铁 2站 远离 游客区,
本地人区更加便宜.
她住的是 商业广场 那附近 最贵的白色古典建筑区. Baixa 区, 都是 18 世纪的老房子,
内部翻新了.
她的窗户和外面的 百叶窗 都是德国标准的样式.

加州人 对气候还是很挑剔的.
里斯本的美国人越来越多.
我从来没有在欧洲见过这么多的美国人.
哎
加州人移民葡萄牙,

很多是退休 养老。
墨西哥太干燥和脏了。
中国和北美都是大陆性气候， 大陆性气候的地方，感觉灰车大， 脏脏的。
另外皮肤粗糙的很。
葡萄牙， 西班牙的旅游业比较发达。
主要以旅游业为主。
中国和美国 气候比较差， 物价极贵， 一般没人去旅游。
尤其是中国和印度几乎没人敢去旅游。
那就学啦。
我觉得 欧洲语言 英语最难， 词汇最多， 最乱七八糟，没有逻辑性。
葡萄牙语和西班牙语是亲戚语言，
我感觉一般人好好学， 1年足够了。
就是德语， 一般人学个1年，也达到中级2了， 足够日常了。
在周围都是某个语言的环境下， 学语言还是很快很快的。
除非是年纪大的， 封闭的人。
物价便宜的地方工资高不了。 最好就是找份允许work from abroad的美国工作。我相信tech这种机会会越来越多。
晓庆，偏颇了。这些国家我都去过，印度是有点脏，其他还好啦
我感觉 欧洲语言里，
除了东欧语言的确是难之外。
其他语言， 西班牙语， 意大利语， 葡萄牙语 等等都有亲戚关系。
英语， 德语，荷兰语，北欧语言大家是亲戚语言。
西班牙语， 葡萄牙语，意大利语等等大家是亲戚。
真上个语言学校， 学了6个月到1年， 也足够了。
毕竟 英语是欧洲最难， 最复杂， 最乱七八糟的语言。
我觉得 中国的灰大的恐怖。
大陆性气候的地方， 我受不了。
包括泰国 那个灰大的一B。
甚至 德国这里的越南人都不想 回越南，
就是因为越南 灰大的惊人。
没办法， 亚洲， 北美都是这种粗糙，极端的大陆性气候。
主要是南欧地区的人们 一般都比较随和， 很少暴力和粗野。
德国这里感觉人最不友好， 尤其是某些德国老大妈， 一个个像吃了冲药一样， 看见外国人，一股臭脸。 动不动就呵斥人，一个个怒火冲天一样。
不明白为啥德国人在欧洲这么不友好。
哈哈哈哈
要不大家 在里斯本开些中餐厅
服务 美国游客吧
哈哈哈哈
真是懒得学新语言了。。看出来你最喜欢葡萄牙。。
她是黑人女生
没人开除她吧
政治正确呢
主要是气候 还有人
这种 气候温和的地方， 人们比较放松
德国这里一个个凶神恶煞的， 特别是有的德国大妈 动不动 怒火冲天，不知道为啥有些德国大妈那么粗野 那么怒火冲天
还有 中国 美国 一个个工作狂一样
主要是 气候温和 不冷不热 到处都是君子兰 橘子树 榕树 无花果
德国这里是 好些人没有原因的粗野 没有教养 尤其是德国大妈一个个怒火冲天
中国是匪气冲天 ， 一个个提放心很强。到处都是匪气那种
美国是一个个工作狂一样 金钱社会
如何我重新选择
我宁愿 工资低
也愿意生活在 放松 没有犯罪 没有酷热酷寒 气候温和的地方
中国 印度 俄罗斯 三个 气候及其恶劣的地方， 再多工资 也不会去
气候恶劣的地方 有一种 土匪的气息
冬天 22 度
夏天除了个别热浪外
夏天一般 27 度
这种 夏天 冬天没有区别
只需要 2 件衣服的地方
另外 无花果 君子兰 橘子 随便长的地方
谁不喜欢这种气候呢
另外 夜晚 9 点 10 点才开始吃饭
中午 12-16 点休息的地方
谁不喜欢 午休午休呢
我预计 随着 美国人在里斯本的增加
未来里斯本 成为欧洲的旧金山
希望 大家如果有条件
集体 到里斯本 定居定居吧
成立一个 美国社区
