That's wonderful to know about foreigners writing about Portugal. Specially when they study and they know about what they are writing. We are a small country, but with a lot to offer and a lot to discover. Starting with people. I'm glad you were happy here. Come again. I thank you both, Dylan and Christine for this podcast.
Muito Obrigado. Palavras simples mas com muito sentimento. Temos muito orgulho na nossa história e das nossas tradições. Humildes mas destemidos. Conquistamos os oceanos e descobrimos terras longínquas. Espírito aventureiro mas sempre com Saudades do nosso cantinho.
It's interesting her mother-in-law's name is Coutinho. I'm Portuguese and In 2017 I traveled to Goa with some friends. This one indian guy helped us at the airport and told us he had portuguese blood and his surname was Coutinho. Next day we find him sunbathing while sitting on his porch, on a house with the 'Coutinho' tile (in Portugal people often use tiles with their family names to identify their houses). So, either we found a relative of your guest's, or Coutinho is a very common surname in Goa.
Good luck with your book... We moved to Portugal (the Algarve) in 2021 and love it. I started a RU-vid channel a month ago which covers everything to do with food (restaurant reviews, cooking and gardening mainly).
