What is it like to be an expat and move back to your home country? Josh from ExpatsEverywhere sits down with Sónia, a Portuguese expat, who has lived all over like in Africa, South America, Canada and more. She has now moved back to Lisbon, Portugal and has a lot to say about how things have changed, what it's like moving back, the influx of foreigners, the fear Portuguese have of foreigners taking their jobs, the cuisine becoming more international, and more. This interview is packed with interesting information from a local who understands the expat life and looks at Lisbon a little differently.
