Are Americans Ruining Portugal? (My Take)

Video Description

Are US citizens to blame for Portugal's housing crisis and rising cost of living? I've been hearing from a lot of people who are afraid to visit or move to Portugal because they don't want to be "part of the problem." So what's really happening? In this video, I investigate the impact of American tourists, retirees, and digital nomads on Portugal's economy.
