At home I wouldn' t have had to buy food, because I would have been living at my parent' s in summer. I spent less on accomodation than I pay for my apartment here. I spent less on travel because public transport is very cheap in Portugal compared to Holland. Food: was more expensive than at home. Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Travel, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Don' t buy food at the 'Pingo Doce' but at the 'Mini-Preco'. The last one is much cheaper. Doing something like this is always more expensive than you think. So save some money before you go! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
