Monica Alexandra decided to leave Portugal and move to the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, where her Brazilian boyfriend has living, and according to her, she already has two job offers scheduled in the upcoming weeks. Better job perspectives and salary were her motivations to leave Portugal behind of indefinite duration. She used to work at a high society gym in Lisbon. The emigration level in Portugal in 2003 was to 30 thousands emigrations per year. Now, up to 100 thousands Portugueses annually flee the country. Photo by Mauricio Lima for The New York Times
