- I have been moving around Asia for a long time for economic reasons. Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Macau were very easy because they are International countries with English everywhere and advance adaptations for foreigners. I don't like it in Portugal because everything has to be translated and most people are not open to foreign language.

- As a son of a Colonel in the Air Force and a military Attache, our family has been forced to migrate to a lot of countries, for me it helped me a lot increase my world knowledge and communication/English skills which benefitted me a lot in my work and in my view of things.

- Thank you for reading my story, I think migration is good because it helps us become more aware of the lives in all parts of the world.
