I am Humphrey, in spite of my Username, I am EU migratory-worker (Software / Automation). My interests include Astronomy and Beer. Looking at Crypto, but not fully dabbling yet. Planning my own BUTT-Coin, a sweat-coin, that can only be earned in exchanges of Services, so no investors ā€˜mooningā€™. Portugal looks good Tax wise for Crypto, and basing servers in Iceland (free cooling and cheap geothermally created electricity ~ like El Salvador etc will be ~ no more Chinese power-stations globually warning us all).

Hello ,

My passion is international travel to learn and appreciate different cultures, landscapes and architecture.

By joining this network, I am hoping to learn about different places, situations and also share my experiences and what I leaned.

Hi everyone, Iā€™m Marco, :wave:
beautiful community full of active people, thank you for accepting me. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I live in Italy (Sardinia) but from the age of 19 I travel around the world,
at the moment I am planning to launch a startup, which I hope will have an important social impact, especially for those who are most in need in the world, without barriers of any kind. :muscle:
I usually work between London and Paris, I love Italy, Spain, Switzerland where I was born, but in reality I love all the places where there are beautiful people. :smiley: :beers:

hi all! Iā€™m Ron, and Iā€™m roaming outside my Dutch :pirate_flag: stable since 1985ā€¦

As an IT consultant I just love helping people solving problems and work since 2005 on global Salesforce.com projects as a Tech/Solution architect.

From 2008 I am UK based, (home-)growing a bunch of (now 99% managed) :houses: businesses of which the latest is focusing on a very niche but huge challenge of ā€˜shortā€™ leaseholds of flats and houses.

Extremely annoyed by :bomb: IR35 I discovered some very good in-depth discussions on Portuguese taxation (yes yesā€¦ a typical all year-round :sun_with_face: and low taxes fan) on hereā€¦ hence I joined you!

Fav places: almost everywhere; just look under the surface
Fav author: Napoleon Hill
Fav occupation: learn and grow each and every day

Feel free to reach out to me; I am looking forward to making some great connections here :slight_smile:

Hi everyone,

I am Igor and I am currently in Murcia, Spain but will be roaming all over Europe in the next couple of months. I lived in Miami for 21 years and decided that it was enough and moved the whole family back to Europe. We are now looking for the best place for us to set in. Greece or Spain are our main options, but we might consider some other.
I am IT consultant and work from home supporting different clients in US. I love traveling and my plans are to use this move as an excuse to travel much more than before.

I did a lot of research regarding immigrating to Spain and Greece so feel free to ask me if you need some answers that I might know.

HI there, my name is Lisa (my user name is hecticbetty). Iā€™ve lived in London, South Africa and am now in Sydney. I am still desk bound but in the process of feeing myself from those shackles ā€¦ Iā€™m a lawyer by trade but hope to escape that profession as I move back to Europe (Lisbon as a base) and live a better life! I have yet to figure out what Iā€™ll do for income once there but intend my life to become a lot more nomadic!

Hi everyone! Iā€™m an engineering professor and so is my spouse. Weā€™ve lived abroad for sabbaticals in the past, and while we arenā€™t looking to retire too soon, having the option of moving to Europe is very valuable to us. We would also like to give the gift of European residency/citizenship to our children, in case their future careers move in that direction.

I was on the path to residency in London when I decided to come back to the States for various reasons. Now Iā€™m in Austin, TX thinking of finding my way back. I still have some years to earn enough :money_with_wings: to feel comfortable retiring. Iā€™m doing quick and heavy research on getting a real estate GV by end of 2021ā€¦ I need to move asap, clearly .Iā€™m open to any and all advice and resources. I am single, play lots of :tennis:, love to travel, have two :dog2:, and only read :books: now on Audiotape :frowning:. Iā€™m loving Portugalā€™s vax rate! :mask: :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi all! Iā€™m Aaron. My work as an open-source software developer over the last seven years has taken me from my home country of :canada: Canada to France :fr: , the US :us: , and India :india: for extended periods with many shorter trips across the Schengen zone in between. My spouseā€™s work requires access to a laboratory :woman_scientist: , so figuring out how to earn income regardless of our physical location allows us both to enjoy fulfilling careers. Iā€™m a native English speaker with a working knowledge of French. Iā€™m actively learning Hindi and I can manage very basic interactions in German and Spanish.

I love renting bicycles :biking_man: in new cities as I get to see what they have to offer beyond the tourist-heavy zones, but Iā€™ve avoided non-essential travel for the duration of the pandemic. Thereā€™s a lot of societal status-quo that I donā€™t agree with, so Iā€™d prefer life didnā€™t ā€œgo back to normalā€, but Iā€™m looking forward to when mask-free interaction becomes safe again. :train2:

Hi guys!

Thanks to my parentā€™s work Iā€™ve been able to live in 8 countries spanning from South America, Europe, Asia and now am in Toronto, Canada :canada: :slight_smile:. Am in the process of obtaining my Golden Visa in Portugal in order to get the passport in 5 years, so itā€™s great to have a community thatā€™s going through the same process. So happy to be here! :heart:
