the reality of living abroad alone | from lisbon with love podcast | real stories of women in lisbon

In this episode we talk about our experience with living abroad alone and what it taught us so far. We talk about the things in Portugal that we still can’t get used to and we share what we think of Portugese people (as always, you’ll get our honest opinion). Also we share some random life skills we’ve learned since moving abroad alone and some funny moments when we really realized: “Wow, I live abroad now.”

If you want to know what living abroad alone is really like (the good, the bad and the ugly) – this is your episode! Enjoy listening and don’t forget to follow us on your favorite podcast app (we’re on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts & Podimo) and subscribe to our channel on YouTube – we have video episodes as well!

Every episode has a bonus episode where we go more into depth and get more personal. Become a member to get access to our bonus episodes (ca. 30 min), behind the scenes content, exclusive content, monthly Lisbon tips and live Q&A’s.

With love, April Betts & Anna Jirina.

About From Lisbon With Love

Welcome to From Lisbon With Love! A podcast about real stories of love, laughter, and life in Lisbon — from women who have left it all behind. We share real stories about moving to Lisbon, starting over and figuring life out along the way. We talk love, dating, friendships, breakups, healing, growing, all of it. Basically, the stuff we usually talk about over coffee ☕️ or vinho 🍷. If you’re thinking about moving abroad, already here or just love honest conversations with heart: you’re in the right place! Learn more about our story here.

We hope you enjoy our fifth episode about dealing with homesickness and creating new traditions in a new country. Don’t forget to rate the podcast and leave us a review at your favorite podcast platform, like Spotify – it will help more hearts find our little corner of the world.
