Looking to connect with Canadian or American exPats in Portugal

Alan Bergman

I'm looking to go to Portugal early September,  for a 3 week vacation. Besides sightseeing and pleasure, the underlying  purpose of this trip is to decide on a place where I would like to permanently settle. I have dual American/Canadian citizenship and I currently reside in Trenton Ontario, Canada. I'm single and retired from the communications industry. I hope to connect with anyone who would be kind enough to help me with any pertinent information that can help me with the transition and be willing to meet up with me sometime during my vacation and introduce me to any exPat communities. I plan on starting out in Porto and doing the tourist thing. I haven't reserved my flights yet, but plan on finalizing most of my plans by at least July. Any information would be helpful and I am looking forward to hearing from anyone who would like to help me out here. This is a big step for me as I have never travelled on my own before and have never been overseas. I can be contacted here, Messenger, Facebook or WhatsApp

Hi @Alan Bergman, Welcome.


Rather than wait for someone to contact you, I suggest you sign up for one of the various MeetUp events in Lisbon /Porto/... with expat communities.

Thank you Sofie. I’m putting together a list of questions to ask, but there will always be something I’d forgot or didn’t think of. I’ll reach out when I’m more organized. I have never travelled where I didn’t know anyone and never been overseas before. I didn’t know where to start but I’m glad I have you to contact when I’m further prepared. Thang Q again. Cheers

Dear Alan,


I admire your interest in connecting.  I am also planning to retire in Portugal and wonder if you'd like to connect with me at *** do not have any connections at this time, but expect to make a few.

Wishing you the best.

Thang Q Denise. I plan to fly to Porto around the second week of September if all goes well. My initial 3-4 week trip is to sightsee and scope out the best place to resettle. When are you planning on going?
