### [Is working abroad worth it? Luis's honest experience in Lisbon](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/is-working-abroad-worth-it-luis-experience)

‘’Is working abroad worth it? It's one of the most common questions for anyone thinking about a move, and it is a fair one. Will it actually be as good as you imagine, or will you wish you'd stayed home? Luis asked himself exactly that before he packed up and left Germany for Lisbon. He really wanted to go, but he had his doubts too. This is how it played out.

### [Living in Spain: Valencia or Alicante? Julia's experience](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/working-in-spain-valencia-alicante-experience-julia)

Julia had done everything she was supposed to do. Good job, good city, good life on paper. But somewhere along the way she had started noticing a gap between the life she was living and the one she actually wanted. Nothing was wrong. But that was exactly the thing. When she found a Customer service role in Spain via Yobbers, she applied without overthinking it. Getting the job came quickly. Deciding between Valencia and Alicante did not. Both cities kept pulling her in different directions, similar on the surface, completely different in feel. To experience how it would be like to live in both, she booked a long weekend in each and went to find out for herself. In this blog she shares how she compared both cities, why she eventually chose Valencia and what daily life in Spain actually looks like once you live there.

### [Working in Greece: Athens or remote? Marco’s experience](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/working-in-greece-athens-or-remote)

Marco had given himself a deadline. By thirty, he wanted to have lived abroad, properly lived, not just travelled. Working and living in Greece had been on his mind for a while: affordable, social, warm in ways that go beyond the weather. He found a customer service role in Athens, office-based with accommodation included for the first month, and that was enough to make the decision. In this blog he shares what that first year really looked like, from temporary accommodation in Athens to remote life in Thessaloniki, what daily costs looked like in practice and what working remotely in Greece really requires.

### [Working in Valencia: Jarno’s story about work-life balance in Spain](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/working-in-valencia-jarnos-story-work-life-balance-spain)

Sometimes the hardest thing to explain is why you want to leave when everything seems fine. That was exactly how Jarno felt. He had a stable job in the Netherlands, a familiar routine and a life that looked good on paper. Nothing was wrong, yet he kept feeling that something was missing. For a while, he tried to make sense of that feeling. In the end, he stopped overthinking it and booked the ticket. He moved to Valencia, started a new job abroad and discovered a lifestyle that suited him far better. If you are thinking about working in Valencia, moving to Spain, or creating a better balance between work and life, his story gives you a realistic idea of what that step can look like.

### [Porto vs Lisbon: Eva’s experience studying and working in Portugal](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/porto-vs-lisbon-working-in-portugal)

If you’re thinking about working in Portugal, you’ve probably asked yourself the same question I once had: Should I move to Porto or Lisbon? I didn’t just compare the cities online. I actually experienced both. When I was 19, I moved to Porto during my Erasmus, life was mostly about studying and exploring the city. Five years later, I moved to Lisbon to start working in Portugal as a foreigner, and I’m currently still living here. Suddenly things like rent, career opportunities and daily routines mattered much more. Experiencing both cities showed me how different Porto vs Lisbon really is, financially, socially and professionally. In this blog, I’ll share what you can realistically expect when comparing Porto vs Lisbon, the cost of living in Portugal, and what it’s like working in Portugal as an international professional.

### [Working in Lisbon and finding love: Max’s experience moving to Portugal](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/working-in-lisbon-max-experience-moving-to-portugal)

A few months ago, my life in Germany looked completely different. After a breakup, everything felt heavy in a way I couldn’t ignore. The same streets. The same cafés. The same routines. I didn’t just feel stuck in a place, I felt stuck in a version of myself that no longer fit. I had been talking for months about wanting to work in Portugal. Something about Lisbon pulled me in. The idea of building a new routine in a completely different place. It wasn’t just about finding a job in Portugal. It was about starting over somewhere that felt open and full of possibility. At some point, staying became harder than leaving. So I started looking for a German speaking job in Lisbon. Not because I had a detailed five-year plan. Not because I was chasing a dream career. I just needed space. A reset.

### [Tired of grey winters? Why winter in Portugal and Greece feels lighter](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/why-winter-in-portugal-and-greece-feels-lighter)

Winter in Northern Europe has its own rhythm. Shorter days, cooler temperatures and more time indoors shape daily life in a different way. For many people, this season also brings the wish for more daylight, fresh air and space to move. This is often when people begin to think about a sunnier winter and realise it is something they can actually make happen. A season with more light, more time outdoors and a rhythm that feels easier to live with. That is where winter life in Portugal and Greece comes into view. Not as a holiday, but as everyday life under a brighter winter sky.
