Thanks Nick. Been watching your channel awhile now, its very informative. Looking forward to the school vlog series in October 👍

Thanks again for this great video. We’ll fit right in. How’s it going with energyprices? Water, gas, electricity? Fuel? Thanks again Nick

Hi Nick! We are two couples from Ottawa, Canada who are planning to spend 4 weeks in the Algarve. Can you recommend 2 places where we could spend 2 weeks (x2). We love cycling and hiking. We are not into party towns. Possibly one in the east and one more westerly. Thank you!

Great video, thanks! First, where can I get one of those t-shirts? 🙂
Good tip re: the online ordering. It still works! You just need to have a little patience, and pay attention to where it is being shipped from (inside/outside EU). Also agree with the mapping and lack of online data, part of the adventure.
In general, we have found that pace of life is slower in Portugal. Like you said, just take a deep breath and embrace it!

I'm born and raised in the US. Many years ago I spent 3 weeks in Jordan. When I came back, the US was culture shock – my home was culture shock. Jet lag so I was awake for a day. I felt out of place for a few days. I'm certain I'll adapt to Portugal quite easily. With some help 😎🍻

Remember this about living in Portugal:

– meals are sacred, respect the eating hours, 12-14 and 20-22
– everything is slow and burocratic, don't be anoyed at it.
– if something little inconviniences you, repress it.
– dess with modesty, the portuguese are very conservative about clothing
– 3 levels of politness when asking for something: first you say your're sorry for disturbing, then you say "thank you" after ordering what you want and then saying "thank you again" with wishes of a good rest of the day when you get what you want. Saying "obrigado" get's you to places man.
– enjoy!

1 – Love idle unnecesary talking;
2 – Don't complain, will get you nowhere but regret;
3 – Veneration of the word 'humble';
4 – Terrible inferiority complex / don't get Portugal's actual good place in the world;
5 – There's no Justice / general impunity.

Your advice is solid! Great advice. Cheers

Got the place all to yourself. Perfect! 👌

Thanks for info,. Egil.

Hey Nick! Great advice and thank you! Congrats on your upcoming adventure – we’ll be riding along in the virtual passenger seat.

Another great Vlog Nick thanks for sharing.

That sunrise looks stunning. Thanks for another great video Nick!

I liked that you stated that people should change to the culture and not expect the culture to change for them. I see too much entitlement this side of the pond and seeing that Portugal is now a leading retirement country, I'm fearful for the future of their customs and values.

Congratulations on the school sponsorship. That is fantastic news!! Well done, looking forward to seeing those videos 👍👍👍

Great video Nick, Thanks for the information on Amazon and delivery times, great to know this in advance.

Love your “You change to Portugal, Portugal will not change for you”. I say that to my own family and friends

Hi Nick! Another great video with lots of info! California, USA named after California, Portugal? Who knew! lol I will be watching for your massive trip with Isabella! Your trips are epic and fun to watch! Cheers!

thanks nick for your video and info 🙂

Talking about culture shock…
On our scouting trip we went to pizza place in VRSA for lunch and guess what, it was closed for lunch!
Love the people and the country, moving in November

How amazing to do this trip with your daughter! Can't wait to watch. Safe travels!!

Fantastic, thank you, really well done video!

Do you go SUP'ing year 'round? We (wife, 2 kids, dog) coming to Lagos for 6 months from 1st October. I know it gets colder, but are you still okay SUP'ing around?

Merch those Tee’s

You’d make €

Nice one Nick!! Algarve really sounds like southern Italy, where I live. It won't centainly be a shock moving there for me then…… 🙂

We can't wait to move early next year. Done with SA and all these issues, crime, corruption and this useless load shedding from Eskom.

Thanks you for the video. I enjoyed It!!

❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. 🤗❤

Hey, Nick, is there siesta in PT?

Get used to writing letters and receiving letters by the old fashion way 😂
