    Italy's 1 Euro Houses - Success or Failure After 10+ Years?

    Italy's 1 Euro Houses - Success or Failure After 10+ Years?

    Are the 1 euro houses in Italy failing to deliver on their promises? The One Euro Home projects present a unique opportunity to buy property in Italy at minimal cost, aiming to revitalize historic villages. These 1 euro houses have sparked global interest, yet challenges like hidden costs, diverse rules, and legal complexities make them more complicated than they seem. Many buyers use these homes as vacation spots or rentals rather than full-time residences, which could affect long-term population growth. For those considering living in Italy or expats looking to relocate, it's crucial to understand the true scope of the commitment. This opportunity offers a fascinating look into the potential and pitfalls of cheap properties in Italy. In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, hosted by dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we'll talk about these projects and what they may or may not have accomplished so far after more than a decade.

    Rising Cost of Living No Longer Worth it? - Living in Portugal in 2024

    Rising Cost of Living No Longer Worth it? - Living in Portugal in 2024

    Portugal, once a haven for affordable living, is now starting to face Northern European-level rents while maintaining much lower minimum salaries, making it a challenge for both locals and expats alike. The phasing out of the Non-Habitual Residency tax benefits and the uncertain future of golden visas add to the financial unpredictability, diminishing the country's previous allure for those with foreign income. Although public transport and some services remain cheaper, overall costs, including groceries and dining out, are climbing. As a result, many are now considering other European destinations like Spain, Greece, and Romania, which offer lower living costs and new incentives. Despite these challenges, living in Portugal continues to attract those who appreciate its unique lifestyle, but thorough research is crucial for expats to determine if moving to Portugal still fits their financial and personal needs. In this living abroad expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, hosted by dual citizen expat Rafael Di Furia, we'll go over the current cost of living in Portugal, the impact of policy changes, and alternative European destinations for expats.

    Don't EVER do These 11 Things in Portugal

    Don't EVER do These 11 Things in Portugal

    When planning a move to Portugal or traveling here, it’s crucial to know what not to do to ensure a smooth experience. Avoid expecting early dining hours, limit your visit to Lisbon, or miss out on local treats like pastel de nata and francesinha. Don’t wear uncomfortable shoes on cobblestone streets, anticipate nightlife starting early, or over-tip in restaurants. Understanding public transportation and embracing local customs will significantly enhance your stay. By respecting these guidelines, you’ll better enjoy Portugal’s unique lifestyle and enrich your adventure across its historic cities and beyond. In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter hosted by dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we'll go over 11 things not to do in Portugal.
