New book ‘Moving to Portugal’ is essential reading for anyone considering a new life overseas
Have you ever visited a picture perfect sun drenched destination and wondered what it would be like to live there? Louise and Ben Taylor did, finally deciding to make their dream a reality and move from the UK to Portugal two years ago.
Indeed, moving abroad can be a nerve wracking experience but for those who are a little unsure of where to start, why not get some advice and ideas from the expert expats?
Documenting their life-changing experience, Louise and Ben’s new book, ‘Moving to Portugal’ is a warm and witty tale of why, when and how this central London couple decided to throw in the towel and set up a new life in the elegant town of Tavira in the Algarve.
Split into two sections, ‘Moving to Portugal’ examines the highs and lows of relocating abroad, covering the couple’s first two years of challenges as well as offering hints, tips and advice – essential reading for anyone considering a new life overseas.
Author Ben Taylor comments,
“Relocating abroad can be one of the best things you will ever do, but it is a big step and is something that needs a lot of consideration. For us, Portugal made the ideal overseas living destination with medieval castles, quaint villages and beautiful coastlines; it’s hardly surprising that the nation is now climbing its way up the ladder, becoming the fourth most popular destination in Europe for property searches among Brits according to Rightmove Overseas.
“Our journey towards a new life in the sun was, at times, a real roller-coaster ride but we never once looked back and as a result, we now have a beautiful home in a wonderful country and couldn’t be happier.”
Taylor continues,
“Our book, we feel, gives an honest picture of life in the Algarve and what to expect. My wife and I really wanted to put something together that documented the life of two people who had actually been through the experience – we think the best advice comes from the people who have lived through it and came out the other end. We really hope that readers will connect with ‘Moving to Portugal’ and that it will help steer them in the right direction.”
