What Kind of Knucklehead Moves to a Foreign Country in the Middle of a Pandemic?
Spoiler alert: It’s me!
At almost 63, I decided to throw caution to the wind, pack my bags, and live out my lifelong dream of moving to Europe—specifically, Portugal. And what better time to do it than during a global pandemic, right? (Because if you’re going to do something crazy, why not go all in?)

After sharing the ups, downs, and “What the heck just happened?” moments of this journey with you on my blog, I’m thrilled to announce that my memoir chronicling my move to Portugal is finally ready for pre-order! And because you’ve been part of this wild ride from the beginning, I’m offering you the pre-order price of just $4.99.
(Trust me, it’s cheaper than a one-way ticket to Portugal and almost as much fun!)
SPECIAL PRE-ORDER PRICE $4.99
Why Pre-Order?
- Lock in the Low Price: The eBook is just $4.99 if you pre-order now. The price will go up after the book is published, so why not save yourself some cash?
- Be the First to Read It: Your pre-order ensures you’ll get the book as soon as it’s released, so you can dive right into my ridiculous escapades without delay.
- Support My Adventure: Your support has meant the world to me. Seriously. I couldn’t have done this without you, and I’m so excited to share the full story with you.
What’s Inside?

Heartfelt reflections on what it really means to follow your dreams, no matter your age.
First-hand experience of navigating Portuguese bureaucracy (Pro Tip: always bring snacks).
The joy (and sheer terror) of making a new home in a country where I barely spoke the language.
Adventures in exploring Portugal, from breathtaking beaches to random roadside stops.
Get In On the Fun (Or the Cringe)
Ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even feel a bit inspired? Pre-order your copy now and join me in reliving every ridiculous, wonderful, and utterly unpredictable moment of my first year in Portugal. At the very least, you will learn from my mistakes!

Where’s the Print Book?
Well, it will be ready when the eBook is–I just don’t know what print costs will be yet. Then there’s shipping to contend with and since I’m not in the States, it may or may not get a little complicated. We may have to wait and put it up on Amazon in order to get the shipping handled. If you’re interested in the print book, I’ll have some numbers for you soon–just drop an email (Barbara@BarbaraGrassey.com).
Thank You
From the bottom of my heart (and possibly from the bottom of a glass of Alentejo red), THANK YOU. Your encouragement, comments, and enthusiasm have kept me going, and I’m so excited to take this next step with you. Cheers to adventures, big dreams, and the friends who make it all worthwhile.
Pre-Order Now for $4.99!
And if you’re already booking your own one-way ticket, I’ll see you here!
