Do These 10 Things Before Moving Abroad

Moving abroad can be one of the most exciting adventures in life, but it can also be one of the most stressful. As artists and musicians, we faced a whole additional layer of issues when we relocated to Europe. In this video we share 10 tips to consider when moving abroad, and we don’t hold back on some mistakes that we made. Some of these tips apply to everyone, and some are geared toward those who are artists or who would like to pursue their creative goals abroad.
If you’re considering moving to another country, or if you’d just like to hear more about our journey, then this video is for you.

This is so helpful. Actually, it's helpful for anyone anticipating a move. Lots of important memory stuff to consider and having that sorting process which ends up being so hard.

Well...I'm not a musician and I don't intend to leave Portugal, but your information is very valuable for those who want to live in another country.

Thanks, Victor!

plastic artists, musicians, poets, footballers, physicians, actors, physics masters and writers in portugal have often their talents recognized abroad faster than here. it's a fact this country gives away talent in every field and only out of the country they can fully develop a meaningful career, and well payed. they end up making lifes there. saramago won his nobel then emigrated to spain. a big loss for our country for each one that leaves. wish it wasn't so... enjoyed your video, very informative, based on experience, had new art transitions and so on, cool.
