Retire in Santa Luzia, Portugal From an early age, Barbara Grassey imagined a life for herself in Europe. During the COVID pandemic, she found herself reflecting on that long-held dream—and realizing she had yet to make it a reality. Rather than wait any longer, she made a bold decision. She let go of most of her possessions and boarded a plane to a country she had never visited, where she knew no one and didn’t speak the language. This wasn’t a vacation. Barbara was leaving Florida behind and starting a new chapter in Portugal. Drawn by its warm climate and relaxed pace of life, she settled in Santa Luzia, a charming fishing village in the Algarve. Today, Barbara is embracing her new life abroad with enthusiasm and purpose. To hear more about her journey and why she’s loving life in Portugal, listen to Episode 224 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. Grassey’s latest book is American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60. Her SubStack is My Expat Golden Girl Life and her business website is BarbaraGrassey.com. #retirethere #retiretherepodcast #SantaLuzia #SantaLuziaPortugal #portugal #barbaragrassey #retirewhere #retireabroad #retirehere #wheretoretire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
