We hope you enjoy this narrated Virtual Funchal, Madeira, Portugal 2022 walk and chat with Monique from the YouTube channel ‘Track Us Down’. Monique talks about topics such as early retirement and what life for expats in Madeira, Portugal is like. How do you decide what to do with your retirement years? What questions do you ask, what steps do you take? We’ll be asking Monique as we walk around the Lido in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal in summer 2022.
On our Madeira, Portugal walks, you’ll see for yourself what life in the capital city of Madeira Island is like. Filmed on a sunny afternoon in Autumn 2022 – with a comfortable temperature of around 24 degrees.
If you visit Madeira, you can’t miss Funchal with its beautiful cafes, ice cream parlours and tiled walkways. Full of charm and history – its the highlight of Madeira. We offer many more walks in Madeira both narrated and with natural sound.

Early Retirement & New Life in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal 2022
I love Monique & Doug's channel!
It was very interesting, like watching a documentary program. I thought it was a really difficult issue because everyone has their own ideas about work.
Amazing place! Amazing walk, DEAR!!! Like 70!!!
Lovely interview both of you! Loved the walkabout style of filming. Something I'm eager to experiment with myself. We (family of 4) just moved to Madeira as well and cannot wait to shoot some videos here with this stunning backdrop. We aren't retired but we do call relocating here our version of a "midlife crises" 😆 Really enjoyed watching this and listening to you both 💜
Can you please share her YouTube Chanel ?
cool video! thanks for sharing 🙂
Loved seeing Monique on your channel and Yvonne think it was great you two ladies getting together for a walk and chat, great information and video of beautiful Madeira.
Nice sharing! ~my friend~ have a beautiful Sunday!!!😍😍
So lovely to see Monique here! Great interview and video as always. Just love your channel!
Great chat and great to see you here Monique.
早安 Funchal週末假日愉快 謝謝您的分享 歡迎來台灣旅遊 Good Morning. Have a great weekend. Thank you for sharing video! Greetings from Taiwan. 🍰🤝😊
top!
Really enjoyed watching it!
Really interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing! 👍
Portugal all the way!!!
You're doing such a great job with your videos! Really love them! Thank you for sharing!
I’m 62, divorced, working 32 hours a week with full benefits. My financial planner says I can retire now but what’s killing me is the cost of medical insurance here in the US until Medicare kicks in at 65. Close to $700-900 a month compared to the full coverage of $100 a month now😔Wonderful video. Madeira is on my Bucket List!
Thanks Monique, Yvonne & Mike ☺
You had me at Lido with your walk around there!
Some great insights to consider as I've dreamed about retiring in somewhere like Madeira.
There must be something in the water there as you both look very young!
The notebook is a great idea so kudos to you Monique!
Have a truly beautiful week my friends 🤗
Great video and interview, thank you Michael.
I was going to say what BoyInAFridge just said, but they beat me to it 🙂
I've just spent a lunch hour in a coffee shop chatting about how tricky it can be to make a life change at a certain age and coming home to hear Monique speak as if to me is a real tonic. I'm going to get that notepad and pen! Thanks Monique.
I'm really liking this mixture of your traditional natural sight and sound walks, the narrated walks and now these new conversations with people you meet along the way. I think it's a nice, natural evolution of your channel. Please do keep your longer walks though – I've always really enjoyed them!
Do drop by with your thoughts and comments about the video, or the channel in general, we always welcome hearing from you.
