(0:00) What advice would you give someone who's thinking about moving abroad and are there any specific (0:05) things that you wish you had known before you had made the leap? Yeah, I think, I mean lately on (0:11) social media I see so many people suggesting like these digital nomad visas and everything, (0:16) but then there's always these nuances right with the bureaucracy where you don't know. (0:20) So I think if you are considering moving abroad and you have seen some of these posts, (0:25) looking a bit more into what that really entails because I think it's very easy to just list (0:30) some of the requirements that these visas may need, but then when you start looking at like, (0:34) oh you need, so when I moved to Portugal I actually needed to already have a one-year (0:38) rental contract before even applying to the visa. And what if you don't get the visa, right, (0:44) like knowing that that is a possibility, knowing what you're going to do if that were to happen, (0:50) if for some reason you weren't accepted for the visa or you know changes happen in your life (0:54) and now you just can't go or something.
So kind of looking at as much information as you can.
