  5. Nope, not worth it at all, unless you're a fancy American white cutie whatever girl like these women, then anywhere is good for you, you'll get nice treatment and won't have to work as a slave, like people from poor countries do in Europe.

  7. I've spent the last year looking at different cities in Portugal to live and Lisbon really has been a wonderful experience. There is a great noise map of Lisbon that everyone should checkout before selecting an apartment.

  12. She doesn't have any Portuguese friends in Portugal *clearly*….she has met a few English-speaking Portuguese people at "meet ups" for digital nomads FFS… and she's learning the language via "an app" of Brazilian Portuguese??…while living in Portugal ….and proud she finished "all the levels"… gimme a break. God, the Portuguese locals must be sooooo fed up with these clueless nomadic computer geeks taking over, showing up just to suck from the teet of their society (ok "Tokyo" girl with permanent Japanese residency – why you in PT again??). Driving up prices for locals and ruining their culture, ugh… go away

  13. Such a great video with great information. I really enjoyed hearing about Becky’s work experience, especially since I’m in a similar field…editing, publishing, content creation. It’s also always wonder to hear about all the different experiences expats have.

  19. Great Lisbon tips from Kathy re: PT language courses, healthcare and livable Lisbon neighborhoods. A couple more for my list of options. Many thanks also to Kalie for keeping an eye out for those Lisbon neighborhoods without aircraft noise. ✈️ ✈️ ✈️ ✈️ Anti-aircraft noise folks in Lisbon..unite! 😁 Cheers. 👋🏻 —maurice (aka ‘someone’) 😁

  24. I'm trying to get some clarity on my situation if anyone knows. I have dual citizenship (US and Italian) and I plan to move to Portugal with my family. My wife doesn't currently have Italian citizenship but she will get it eventually. When we make the move will she need to apply individually for residency through a D7 visa even though her husband and daughter have an EU passport?
