Emilia Perez

Emilia Perez writes the guides on healthcare, schools and everyday life in Portugal for Americans and Britons settling in. Her work covers the practical questions that fill the first months: public health access and private cover, enrolling children in school and childcare, and the routines that decide whether a new country starts to feel like home.

She studied Journalism at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, where she focused on public-service reporting and how institutions communicate with citizens.

Her method is the site's: every figure and deadline comes from the competent authority's own page, is linked in the text and carries its date. Where a rule differs by region or municipality, she says which one she checked.

Her work is practical information, not medical or legal advice. When a situation needs a doctor, a lawyer or the school itself, she says so and helps you arrive prepared.
