What's Next? Moving to Portugal 101

You asked…and now it’s here.

Portugal is one of the top destinations for Americans moving abroad, but what does it really take to start over in a new country?

In this virtual fireside chat, Tela Founder Morgan Ramsey - who has lived in 4 countries and traveled to over 40 - will share firsthand experiences, essential tips, and the honest realities of making a move abroad, starting with Portugal.

Whether you're a digital nomad seeking a temporary creative base, an empty nester craving a fresh chapter, or a new family setting down roots, we’ll explore what it actually takes to build a life in Portugal - from logistics to lifestyle.

Join us for Part 1 of our 3-Part “Expat” virtual series, where we’ll cover:

  • The unspoken challenges of moving abroad (as a Black American woman and beyond)

  • Portugal vs. Mexico vs. South Africa: How do they compare and which might be right for you?

  • Visas, banking, healthcare, housing & neighborhood insights (Portugal-focused)

  • Finding community & culture: the Black American Expat experience in Portugal

  • Live Q&A with Morgan
