Don't dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas.

I'm from South Hesse, in Germany. Some of the most regarded German comedians (yes, they exist) are from around here and we have a pretty diverse culture, both traditionally German and from immigrants.

So, where do you live and how is it?

I live in Almada, Portugal, just one or two bridges (or a ferry) away from Lisbon. I live out in the suburbs of Almada, so it's generally pretty peaceful here, while still being relatively close to the capital. My workplace is also close to where I live, so I don't have to cross the river and deal with all the traffic and people commuting to Lisbon.

Oh, and I live like half an hour away from the beach. So yeah, all things considered, I'm pretty happy with where I live.

I'm looking to relocate to Portugal! I hope I can find a place as scerene as you describe.

There's a few, yeah. Unfortunately, housing prices in or near big cities right now are pretty much unsustainable for your average portuguese Joe. If you're coming from a wealthier country and live a somewhat comfortable life, you'll probably have an easier time settling in, though. But even then, it's not as easy as it used to be.

yeah, I'm hoping to stay away from cities. I prefer a relatively secluded life.

Then I think you'll be fine :).
