She Moved to Portugal — Now She Works Only 20 Hours a Week



A 31-year-old digital marketer shares how relocating to Lisbon transformed her work-life balance.

After leaving her full-time job in Los Angeles, 31-year-old digital marketer Kaitlin Wichmann relocated to Lisbon in search of a more flexible and fulfilling lifestyle. The move allowed her to transition into freelancing, supporting both U.S. and Portuguese clients with online marketing — and today she works just 20 hours per week.

Despite reducing her hours, she earns around $7,000 per month, while living comfortably on roughly $3,500 thanks to Lisbon’s lower cost of living and relaxed pace. Wichmann says her life is now shaped around her interests rather than her job, a stark contrast to her previous routine of long commutes and repetitive office days.

Her story highlights how remote work and relocating to more affordable destinations can offer digital nomads greater financial flexibility, work-life balance and overall happiness.
