Is moving to Portugal the best choice to make when thinking about moving abroad to Europe? Europe may be small, but within a very small area you can find a wide variety of languages, cultures an people. So you may want to look at what each country provides and what life for expats is like in that country. Regardless of what reasons you may want to migrate, whether or not it’s to retire abroad in Portugal, work abroad as a digital nomad in Portugal or any other motivating factor to live abroad, it’s important to check things out and do your ‘homework’. One thing that many people look for is places that are good for English speaking expats. In this expat living abroad podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we’ll talk about moving to Portugal from the USA, as well as other non-EU nations and the advantages that Portugal has over other countries when it comes to various factors including the cost of living and quality of life in Portugal and if Portugal is the best country to live in Europe.

Since your are in Portugal you probably knows what mean Furia in Portuguese
The TEA word comes from the word TÉ in chinese. So, TÉ and CHÁ come from different chinese dialects. The Transporte de Ervas Aromáticas explanation is just an urban myth. Never happened.
Yes, it is true that tempura was influenced or created by the Portuguese, such as vindaloo in India, feijoada in Brazil (feijoada was actually made since the Romans), kasutera ( pão de lo)… The Portuguese were the first to arrive to Japan and the Japanese had more than 4000 Portuguese words like bidoro (vidro), boro (bolo), botan ( botão), kapitan (capitão), karuta ( carta), Kappa ( capa), the b is because in the North of Portugal they replace o v by b. Not only Japan, but Malaysia, Korea, China, Indonesia were influenced by Portuguese in words and cuisine, you have Creole Portuguese even today in Asia because of that. Portugal also introduce chamusa to India and was a Portuguese Queen who created the 5 o'clock tea. In Japan manly in the last century Portuguese words began to be completely replace by American expressions/words, for example shurasuko which is now barbecue
So excited to move to Portugal!! Fall 2023 🤞🙏📿
Thanks for this. One of the reasons Portuguese speak english so well is that their english programs are subtitled and not dubbed like in other countries in Southern Europe, so this makes it a lot easier for younger folks to hear and practice the language and continue on as they get older.
With regards to Portugals past, all of the things mentioned are wonderful but please remember that Portugal was the leader in transatlantic slave trade. Yes, that small country. It has an atrocious colonial history, specifically that which involves slaves and it currently really grapples with its past to the point of just sweeping it under the rug. Although Portugal was the first country in Europe to officially abolish slavery 260 years ago. But the ban initially only applied to Portugal and its colonies in India. Slavery continued in the other colonies. In Brazil, slavery was still practiced well after it gained independence from Portugal in 1822 and was not officially banned until 1888. Portugal couldn't financially continue on with its colonies like other empires otherwise it likely would have continued on for longer. the past is the past, but just wanted to mention that Portuguese history is not all rosy (no country's is) but definitely not Portugal. One can still enjoy all it has to offer in the present.
Rafael I was wondering when you move to Portugal from Italy, if normal procedure is to keep your Italian Passport or can you have one for each country ?
Thanks a lot for this. One other thing about citizenship is that you can keep your other ones. Spain and Germany don’t normally allow dual citizenship for naturalized citizens.
Was the first😉
Hi Rafael 👋 your video's are always so interesting and informative 👍 thank you
It’s one of the best. Not the best
I like that sly reference to Nomad Capitalist.
