On this episode, we discuss the challenges and triumphs of language learning. Jason discusses if Duolingo is helpful or not. Jason and Tracy debate the merits of striving for an A in school versus "just get through it."
-
We've been here almost 2 years now, and while most people think it's cool (we do too!) it's not all fun and games. We have to work, and we experience homesickness. The worst was after 6 months. This episode dives deeper into how we dealt with the homesickness and are still dealing with it.
-
It's a grab-bag episode of Valentine's Day in Portugal, the power of the sunshine here, and Jason's language adventures.
-
We talk about the weather in our part of Portugal. Sometimes a 50-degree day can be very uncomfortable, and as crazy as it may sound, a 0-degree day in the Midwest can almost be more comfortable (if you're inside).
-
Tis the season for illnesses. We also talk about our experiences with the Portuguese health system and compare it to the U.S.
-
Our journey with burnout continues to evolve. We still are not "cured," but we are in a better headspace now than we were before we moved.
-
In this episode we come back to why we moved, how we feel now, and we discuss our ever-present burnout and trying to find solutions.
-
After a 9-month hiatus, we are back! This episode gives an update on what we've been up to. We are back to weekly episodes now, so more to come!
-
We talk about how tax season went -- it went pretty well. We also talk about how there are clearly things that need to change in the future.
-
Hard to believe for us, but we've been here for 1 year now.
-
We were both horribly burned out before we moved to Portugal. Burnout, in fact, is really our "why" as to why we moved. We've talked about it before, and we talk about it again here.
-
Yes, we stayed up to watch the Super Bowl, til around 5 am our time.
-
We had to take a few weeks off because we've all been battling colds and such. Tracy and Jason talk about having a cold in Portugal, going to the doctor, the costs (or lack thereof compared to America) of everything, etc.
-
Jason is still in business as an accountant. We talk about how that will work.
-
Back in the swing of episodes for season 2. We talk about the holidays, moving around Christmastime, and what 2024 holds in store.
-
We've been off for a few weeks in large part due to technical difficulties (we had 2 episodes recorded that got lost in a computer crash). Anyway, we are back with an episode about December in Portugal, what the holidays here look like, and what holiday plans are.
-
This episode is about fall, Halloween, and what life in general is like when the days get darker -- and very, very, very rainy!
-
When one moves overseas, whether it's moving your home like us, or it's a semester-long study abroad or such, there's a honeymoon period. For us, this period lasted about 6 months. Now, the honeymoon is over and we're in the "this is the real world" phase of living here. Not necessarily bad, but a definite shift in the vibe.
