[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if you only meant to hear from non-US people or not.

I’m a current US citizen living as an immigrant/expat in Lisbon. I’ve also lived in Paris and rural areas of Thailand and Japan at various points in my life (my US experience was centered on NYC & DC).

I loved each experience for different reasons, but I realize I’m happiest in large cities.

My current favorite is Lisbon & I have no plans to move anytime soon. With a family, COL is reasonable and it’s fun being in EU - you don’t have to go far to experience other distinct cultures. I find the city super safe and I like the proximity to beaches. Having more sunshine (esp in the winter) lifts our spirits, and hardly any mosquitoes when compared to our Chevy Chase house. I’m less stressed and more relaxed here. Applying to naturalize this year.[/quote]

What do you do in Lisbon?  My DH and I have dreams of moving there in the next 3-4 years!  Your experience sounds lovely. [/quote]

DH is in finance, but he only puts in a few hours a day on primarily our own accounts, plus a handful of US-based private clients. I no longer work. We have a lot of free time & have created a happy social life.  DS has 3 years left of HS, so he’s pretty independent at this point. [/quote]
