Zero fluff. All hustle.
Behind the scenes…
Hello 👋 I’m Angelique
Mom, wife, immigrant, serial problem-solver, and the voice behind The Expat Hustle.
I swapped South Africa for Portugal and quickly realized: the hardest part wasn’t the move, it was everything that came after.
From navigating bureaucracy and banking apps in Portuguese, to figuring out the real cost of living and how to earn an income here, I learned the hard way… so you don’t have to.
The Expat Hustle was born to help fellow expats cut through the noise. Each week, I share practical tips, money-saving hacks, legal updates, side-hustle ideas, and the kind of info you won’t find in shiny relocation brochures.
No fluff. No fake glamour. Just the truth about life in Portugal, with a wink and a bit of sass.
Welcome to the hustle. We’re in it together.
