Louise - Moving to Portugal in her 50s

Emigrant's Life - Stories of people who left their country to chase a better life

Growing up in Australia, Louise got surrounded by people her age that immersed themselves in exploring the world. At 22, Louise left Australia for the US. While the majority of her peers went for Europe, Louise's mindset was to take another path.

From the US, she reached Canada, then Mexico, and finally London, where she worked as a chef in a ski resort. After eight months, Louise wanted to continue her studies, which led her back to her home country. However, the urge to explore the world tormented her, so after finishing one semester in Australia, Louise hopped off to Colorado.

The moment she stepped into the departure gate, she knew that home was not in Australia. After 27 years in the US, Louise moved to Portugal and has been working on her book, which shares immigrants' stories.

At 50 years old, Louise still plans to leave Portugal and move to another country, which she can soon hopefully call her home.
