Hi fellow ex-pats,
In two years I am planning to retire in either Lisbon or Valencia, and I'm curious about expat experiences as a single, very young-at-heart retiree. I am extremely social, and I have no problem meeting people and making friends in the US - I frequently strike up conversations with strangers at bars, restaurants and cafes, but I am wondering how easy it is to develop a network of friends in Lisbon by comparison, or even Valencia. Also, what is the dating culture like - I am a hopeless romantic, and envision falling in love after a recent divorce with both my new home and a new person.
Regards,
David
