i remember the hard work of moving to portugal, not knowing anyone. I have been here 5 years now and i love it . So i have built a web site with people like this in mind, i want to help people avoid the pitfalls i had and make friends, i hope this helps everyone it can.

Best regards sam

Already over 50,000 Britons live in Portugal full-time, however the majority of those are based on the Algarve. Although the thought of living in a different country can be daunting, we hope here at gekkoportugal.com to provide you with all the information you will need to make that step.

Adapting to the way of life in Central Portugal may take some time. Away from the big cities, life is slower paced than that of Britain.
