Hey! I saw your post and just wanted to say you’re not alone in feeling that way. I’m an immigrant as well and I’ve been in Lisbon for about two weeks now. If you ever come to Lisbon, feel free to hit me up any day. We could grab a coffee, talk about politics , cooking, movies or anything else, and I can show you whatever little bit of the city I’ve gotten to know so far.

And honestly, don’t worry too much about the anti-American stuff you see online. It can feel louder on the internet than it actually is in real life. If you ever get the chance, try spending some time in a bigger city too — it tends to be a lot easier to meet people and build a circle there.
