“There’s a big, dark cloud hanging over Portugal. … There is no real future for my generation,” Almeida told CNBC.
Instead, she bought a ticket to Dili, the capital of East Timor. Two weeks after she arrived she found a job as a communication consultant in a museum in East Timor.
“I found hope in East Timor,” she said. “I don’t want to go back to Portugal any time soon.”
Almeida is just one of many citizens from debt-choked European countries moving overseas, particularly to former colonies, in search of a better future.
