Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 13 ratings
  • Disappointing start

    Very disappointing start. I have no idea who anybody is, the style of presentation is boring and repetitive.

    I had hoped to recommend this podcast to my large Facebook group but on this showing I would be embarrassed to recommend it

The Lisbon Agent: Property, People and the Portuguese Way of Life.
Q: What advice would you give to someone considering moving to Portugal?
Understand your motivations beyond climate and cost; look for a place that supports your family's lifestyle, schooling, and future plans, and work with an agent who genuinely understands your energy and long-term goals rather than just closing a deal.
The Lisbon Agent: Property, People and the Portuguese Way of Life.
Q: What drew you to Portugal and to the Lisbon real estate market specifically?
A blend of family history, early exposure to real estate, and exposure to multiple cultures showed me that Portugal offered a unique combination of lifestyle, safety, and opportunity, which I built into a client-centric, lifestyle-focused brokerage in Lisbon.
The Gut–Brain Connection: Nutrition, Microbiome & Mental Health | Margarida Beja
Q: And from your perspective as a gastroenterologist and dietitian, how much do you think the gut microbiome really has over who we are physically and mentally?
