Great information. I agree that maybe being a secret might be a good idea.

We told our neighbors we’re moving and the next time they said “you’re moving to Venezuela right “. And the number that believe it’s a third world country. We don’t respond now. Better they don’t know. Less immigration and price hikes👍

A great article Carol. It is really informative. We also experienced those blank stares from our American friends when we told them our plans to migrate to Portugalu. This article addresses those questions in an engaging way. It is not a hidden gem anymore 😀

While it is frustrating to meet with these geographic misunderstandings, we enjoyed the secret of Portugal while it lasted. And you explained it well, tho I might wish you hadn't explained it at all. Their ignorance has been our bliss.

They'll most likely still be ignorant and with any luck, they'll end up in Puerto Rico...

You are absolutely correct! And you are nicer about it than I am as I just find it really embarrassing when Americans are so clueless!
