Abstract

This research paper analyzes Slovenes who have permanently migrated to Portugal. The study explores various aspects of their migration journey, including motivations for moving, preparations made, initial impressions upon arrival, encountered cultural differences, language proficiency, economic factors influencing migration decisions, influence on cultural identity, and perceived quality of life in Portugal compared to Slovenia. Data collected from interviews reveals diverse motivations for migration, ranging from employment opportunities to personal relationships and cultural attraction. While some interviewees reported minimal preparation before moving, others had been contemplating the move for a longer period. Initial impressions of Portugal varied, with interviewees expressing fascination with the culture and climate but also encountering challenges in adaptation. Cultural differences, language barriers, and economic factors played significant roles in shaping the migration experience. Despite facing challenges in the job market, interviewees reported positive impacts on their cultural identity and perceived quality of life in Portugal. The findings highlight the complexity of migration experiences and provide insights into the diverse factors influencing migration decisions and adaptation processes among Slovenian migrants in Portugal.
