Brexit and Beyond: Rachel's Recollections of Portugal
Welcome back to 'Let's Move to Portugal.' This week, we're navigating the international landscape of a post-Brexit Europe with our special guest, Rachel.

A global wanderer since childhood I have visited over 85 countries and lived in almost all the continents on this earth! I have written a book, Under and Over. It’s mostly a true story about my travels in the Americas after my divorce. I am a financial journalist by trade but tried my hand at being an estate agent in Portugal during the pandemic and might give it another go in the future.
