Find other foreign residents by area or shared interest — you reach out yourself.
How members meet. This is where foreign residents find each other — on a hike, over a repair job, at a language table. Browse by area to see who lives near you, or by an interest you share. There's no feed to scroll and no algorithm: you spot someone, you message them yourself, and it goes from there.
How this stays fair & safe. You can only search an interest that you have listed yourself, or your own nationality — so nobody can trawl the community for a target group to sell to. While browsing you see only a member's first name and island — never their full name, concelho, address, phone, or photo. Their full name appears only once you're in a conversation. You can switch off “findable by area” in My profile. Photos are never shown in search — one only appears inside a conversation, if the member allows it, with many choosing “mutual reveal.” You always make first contact yourself; the other person chooses whether to reply, and can block or report at any time.
