After 20 years of teaching in the US, I felt increasingly burnt out due to a demanding workload, cultural shifts, and administrative pressures that contributed to my discontent.
The drastic changes I observed in education, coupled with personal challenges such as parent complaints, mass shooter drills, and the pervasive culture of gun violence, made me reconsider my life choices.
Moving to Portugal transformed my life completely; my daily expenses decreased significantly, allowing me to prioritize meaningful work and enjoy a lower-stress lifestyle.
Living in Lagos, Portugal, offers me a sense of peace and security that my previous life in Arizona lacked, greatly enhancing my overall quality of life.
