LISBON, PORTUGAL — In his captivating new book, Olá Portugal: Why I Moved to the Land of Sun and Sardines (and how you can too), Dennis Bailey, a seasoned journalist and former communications director for Maine Governor Angus King, chronicles his transformative journey from the United States to Portugal.
