  • The Expat Experience: Two Bay Area Tech Workers Retire Early in Portugal
    Mar 31 2025

    "You have to go to the place, and do your own gut check."

    In this episode, we enjoy a conversation with married expats Serene and Cliff, two well-traveled, goal-oriented former tech workers from the San Francisco Bay Area who, after many years of "auditioning" countries around the world, settled in Portugal for an early retirement. They discuss what drew them to the expat life, especially as Black Americans, as well as what they've learned as they've begun putting down roots and understanding their new home.

  • The Expat Experience: Retired Chicagoans in Central Italy
    Feb 14 2025

    “If we can do this, anybody can do it.”

    Join a lively conversation with John and Tara about their move to a small, charming village in Italy. They share the highs of enjoying the local community and beautiful landscape to the challenges, or as Tara calls them “adventures,” of language barriers and bureaucracy.

    Learn how this American couple has established a new European home that exceeds their expectations.

    Ever the operations manager, Tara would like to provide the following clarifications:

    • Citizenship does provide a few more things than the ERV (residency, voting etc.)
    • Health care cost here is based on what we make here AND in the US. This year they asked that our commercialista here calculate the correct rate. That didn't happen last year.
