After being in Portugal now for almost 2.5 years, we spent time on this episode reflecting on the things we’d have to give up if we ever moved back to the USA.

(Hint: It’s A LOT.)

And while some things we discuss are funny, small + even, shall we say, a bit ridiculous just so we can entertain you…many of them are no joke, y’all.

Serious stuff like:

✅ Affordable (sometimes even FREE) healthcare, especially as we get older (ahem)

✅ Personal safety - how do you go from the 7th safest country in the world to 132nd?✅ Flying to the UK to visit family in 2.5 hours and less than 100 euros round trip

✅ 99% calm nervous system on most days

And some fun ones like:

💫 Traveling less than 30 minutes to be in Spain for tapas

💫 The amazing bread cutting machine at the grocery store💫 Never looking at our credit score
