In this comprehensive episode, James Cave from Portugalist.com breaks down exactly how to plan a successful scouting trip to Portugal.

• What to research before you go versus what requires boots on the ground
• The biggest mistakes people make on their first scouting trip
• Why you should look at properties even if you're not ready to commit
• The truth about opening bank accounts and getting your NIF during your trip
• How to experience daily life (not just tourist life) in Portugal
• Whether you should drive or rely on public transport
• Why visiting during different seasons matters
• Real talk about what you can accomplish in one trip versus multiple visits
