Today we present a guest post by Kristina from My Portugal.
Hello, my name is Kristina and I have moved to Portugal from Sweden. There are two of us but only I have moved, my other half is moving down a little later. In this guest post I want to tell you about my experiences in connection with the move. Moving to a completely new country where you don't know the language and most things are new is no walk in the park. It was a journey that was not always easy, but I have no regrets. I usually say that my only regret is that I didn't move sooner.
