Two days after I arrived in Lisbon, I had the first meeting with Otília Macedo Reis and Dora Reis Arenga at the Fulbright Portugal office. Thank you for coordinating everything for all Portuguese and American Fulbright scholars and for the information that has made my transition to Lisbon easier. I am looking forward to participating in future Fulbright events in Portugal. #fulbright #fulbrighter #Fulbrightportugal #culturalambassador

They also recommended that I attend a “football” game while in Lisbon. We found tickets to a Benfica game on that Sunday. The European football culture is so much different from the American football culture and I love both of them!
