As mentioned on this morning's show, I'm delighted to share and expand on the news that Good Morning Portugal! is officially joining forces with ExpatsPortugal.com (-:

I arrived in Portugal three years ago, and soon started a podcast and radio show. As the Covid pandemic struck earlier this year, I decided to start a daily livestream on Facebook, keeping English-speaking expats informed and safe.

This has now become an established morning show and a fun and informative daily focal point for many established expats, people wishing to move to or travel in Portugal, and even Portuguese folks living abroad!

More recently, given our mutual aims to help more people enjoy life in Portugal, I have been working more closely with Expats Portugal, especially on the popular 'Portugal Calling' webinar series. This has now blossomed into an official invitation to join forces, which I have gladly accepted.







The heart of Good Morning Portugal! - the daily shows and growing sense of connection and community - will carry on as usual, and our evening shows will undergo some slight changes, Monday to Wednesday, as we reach out to our friends on the other side of the Atlantic.

The Good Morning Portugal! Wine Club (now on its 16th tasting adventure) will continue on Thursdays at 9pm, after the now weekly 'Portugal Calling' webinar at 8pm. On Fridays, the new 'Expat Man Cave' will grow as a blokey, jokey gathering for expat men of a certain age, enjoying and adapting to life in Portugal.

I am so grateful to all who have supported the GMP! project with coffees and seed donations as well as your precious attention and contributions. You have helped me keep a roof over my family's heads and food on our table. Thank you (-:

From hereon in, I suggest you become at least a free member of ExpatsPortugal.com, if you aren't already. And please consider becoming a premium member, which will give you all you've come to enjoy from me, and a whole host of other, additional benefits and discounts. You can do that here.

I'm really looking forward to being an integral part of the ExpatsPortugal team and helping more people enjoy the wonderful lifestyle I speak of and celebrate daily on the shows, YouTube channel and podcast.

Stay tuned, and see you soon...
