Hi there, new to the forum

Recently visited Lisbon for 2 weeks from the UK and absolutely loved it.

Strongly looking into the idea of relocating to Lisbon. Always wanted to live and work abroad and Lisbon appears perfect.
I鈥檝e just turned 26 and currently out of work in the UK due to the impact of Covid 19 on the company I worked for.

Already done a fair bit of research on general cost of living, house prices etc.

Finding work is probably the biggest barrier to any plans. I don鈥檛 speak Portuguese (but would certainly look into enrolling in a language school with the aim of speaking fluent once I鈥檓 there)
I鈥檝e got a fair bit of customer service experience having worked in bars/restaurants for 2 years and as a fully qualified telecom engineer for 6 years.

Would love to here from anyone who has relocated to Lisbon recently and what challenges聽 they faced along the way. And if possible could offer some advice on finding an English speaking job. Or if you or anyone you know is working for a company that is hiring?

Thanks for reading and any help here is much appreciated
