RE: Alone at home for 3 months: The power of friends.
When you have good friends like @exyle then those three months will pass by like nothing! It's hard as you said, but all for a good cause. We might be in that situation in the summer as Becca might need to go back to Portugal for a few months to sort out getting a Portuguese passport as she lived in Portugal for 18 years of her life, but there was no need for a Portuguese one as she relied on the British passport...but circumstances have changed as you know and better to be safe than sorry. Can't imagine not being able to live in a place you call home. Brexit's stance on free movement hasn't been finalised, but better not take the risk.
Anyway, take care of yourself and although it's not the same, you can talk to Camilla everyday on the phone 😊
Yeah Brexit has changed everything and I think you are right to pursue that passport because as far as I understand the free movement with UK will only last by 2021, then its back to Visas. Really sad when you think about it, this will be the worst part of it. But hey, at least you will get to enjoy a good time in Portugal which is simply an amazing country! Over here I will do my best to make use of the extra time by working harder, spending time with friends and posting more on steemit hehe.
Whether it's 1st f April 2019 or sometime in 2021, it's best to apply for it sooner rather than later. It is really sad and even more so for Sam, who will be bitterly disappointed as he loves Europe and yet trips will be hampered by multiple visas. He has a British and Thai passport. Now the British passport won't be handy as before.
Portugal is an amazing country and you must love it there (if you have been) as you can speak Portuguese.
Great plans to occupy your time and your mind! See you around on Steemit! 😊
