Some long time readers of the blog might remember Anita and her husband Richard from one of my first “podcast with ex-pats” interviews four years back.

The wanderlust was so strong by the time she embraced her fourth decade of life, that she decided to move to Portugal on the fly after some personal setback. On the latest post and podcast, we talk about why she is loving the expat life in Lisbon, her portable business, what her new “home” Lisbon is like, racism, bad romance, and how a random Tinder date gave her the most profound and illuminating advice.
