### [What does a typical day in Lisbon look like?](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/working-abroad/tips-and-tricks/working-abroad%2Ftips-and-tricks%2Fwhat-does-a-typical-day-in-lisbon-look-like)

A typical day in Lisbon starts with a bica (Lisbon's word for an espresso) at the counter of your local café, continues with a metro or ferry ride to work, and ends with groceries on the way home, a late dinner and a sunset from a miradouro. Your working hours depend on your job, and some roles are fully remote. Though the morning coffee, the sunsets and the slower pace are the same for everyone.

### [How many holiday days do you get in Portugal, Spain, Greece and Bulgaria?](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/working-abroad/tips-and-tricks/how-many-holiday-days-do-you-get-in-portugal-spain-greece-and-bulgaria)

Comparing a job abroad and wondering how much time off comes with it? The law sets a minimum in each country: about 22 working days a year in Portugal and Spain, 20 to 22 in Greece and 20 in Bulgaria, based on a five-day week and a full year of work. Public holidays are counted separately from those days. The four countries do not differ much on paper, but it helps to read up on this before you actually start working for an employer abroad. Below we go through the main points per country, so you have an idea of what to expect and what to ask about. The details always depend on your employer, your role and your roster, you go through those together with your recruiter or with the employer itself. Use this as a starting point, not as your contract.

### [Caroline (50) lives and works in Lisbon: how it started](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/experiences/permanent-job/caroline-50-lives-and-works-in-lisbon)

Caroline was 50 when she left for Lisbon. She already knew the city from earlier stays, so when the chance came, the destination was never really the question. What she did not know was how the practical side would go: the language, the paperwork, the first weeks in a country where she could not read a single sign. Someone was waiting for her at the airport.

### [What to cancel at home before you move abroad](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/working-abroad/tips-and-tricks/deregistering-before-moving-abroad)

Before you pack a single box, there are things back home worth thinking about too: your municipal registration, your health insurance and any benefits or allowances you receive. Sorting this out properly saves you a lot of hassle later, think fines, gaps in cover, or letters asking you to repay money you weren't entitled to once you'd left. Rules and deadlines differ by country and can change, so treat this as a starting point and always double-check the specifics with your own municipality, insurer or benefits office.

### [Working abroad: what your first weeks are really like](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/working-abroad/tips-and-tricks/working-abroad-first-weeks-what-to-expect)

When you start working abroad, your new life starts there too, but it is not waiting for you ready-made. You arrive, you start your new job, you unpack, and somewhere in week two you notice that nothing feels routine yet. That feeling is normal, it says very little about whether you made the right choice, and it usually passes faster than you expect. Building a life somewhere takes time.
