Though I moved to Lisbon with the mobility of a London expat, it wasn’t with a face people usually associate with that world.
Sometimes I feel suspended between the Lisbon of remote workers and the Lisbon of Uber drivers and service staff…the latter of which is deeply relied upon, but they’re rarely welcomed with the same ease as the former.
I’m close enough to see both, and oftentimes misread by both, but I don’t quite belong to either.
So…even within the outsider class, there are hierarchies.
