In 2021, in the middle of COVID lockdowns, I moved to Portugal. I'd never been there, didn't know anyone, and did not speak the language. I did not know what I did not know. I started blogging about life in Portugal and running my business (book coaching and self-publishing) from five time zones away. My travel memoir, American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60 is a roadmap for people who want to live abroad, whether they are retired or still working.
