Life in Portugal storyboard

Exposition: us before being together

Rising action: coming to Setubal without a rent
Climax: found a rent!!
Falling action: living the life
Dénouement: remaining plans, going back home

1. Exposition
Once upon a time, there were 2 friends from Romania, Alex and Olivia. They met
in college being in the same class. As they both wanted to experience an Erasmus
mobility, when the time arrived the 2 friends have sent their applications together.
They applied for Setubal, a beautiful city in Portugal. In the meantime, while they
were waiting to move to Portugal for 6 months, some magic has happened and they
became a couple.

2. Rising action
The idea of living the Erasmus experience together has become even more
appealing to the 2 friends, actual lovers. They wanted to spend their time in a nice
place so they started looking for a rent. Unfortunately, Setubal wasn’t very
welcoming and they couldn't find anything, even though they’ve looked for 2
whole months! They decided to arrive in Setubal first and search harder, but their
plan didn’t actually work… Those places weren’t available anymore and they were
left with nothing but air b n b’s. That’s how they spend their first 2 weeks in
Portugal. They were exhausted and almost hopeless until… a miracle happened!

3. Climax
In the last days of the 2 weeks, they’ve found a small but really nice studio they
could rent. They were finally able to fully start their Erasmus journey in Portugal!
(but more appealing, sprinkled with some brigadeiros)
4. Falling action
Upon making that small studio their homes, Alex and Olivia went exploring
everything this side of Portugal has to offer. They have started with Setubal, where
they have discovered the parks, the beautiful viewpoint, they’ve tried food from
the local restaurants and typical Portuguese pastries, falling in love with them.
They have even hiked their way up to Forte de Sao Filipe. Then, they have
explored the streets of Lisbon, getting accustomed to the different cultures and
architecture styles, they have been to Sintra, wandering off for hours in the gardens
of Quinta da Regaleira, in awe of the beautiful place. Alex and Olivia don’t shy
away from a challenge either, as they have been to Cabo da Roca, enjoying their
time in the westernmost point of Europe, and wandered across unpaved roads and
down slopes to arrive in Magoito Beach. They sightsaw even the gem which is
Azenhas do Mar, all the while also meeting new people and delecting themselves
in the finest raves Lisbon had to offer.

5. Milsugi
The couple has yet too see everything that Portugal has to offer, so they have
already booked their whole 1 week trip to Madeira, leaving only beaches and
Algarve yet to discover. After doing all of the remaining things, the two will finally
return to Romania, back home.
