After moving from USA to Portugal last year, it has been an adventure learning about and discovering new products, and developing new habits and routines. In doing so, we have learned to live without many things that were part of our daily lives back in California. Here are 6 things we can surprisingly live without here in Portugal.

Only six 😂😂😂
great video lady. I can get onboard with everything you said BUT we can agree to disagree about Mexican food. Maybe a month without a good bean and cheese is about as far as I could push myself 😉
Great video! Do you have a video on the cost of living or estimates? I understand that will vary. Also, do you know if there are Christian churches there?
Great info once again. I have thought of some of the same things you mention here. Thanks for sharing.
🙋🏻♀️tp snob here! Lol…and I hate the bear commercials but it’s like using a cloud🤣 I will have no issues giving it up to live someplace not so intense all of the time.
Interesting…For me the only thing I miss is good Mexican food! Luckily, I can cook and find ingredients in Lisbon because European Mexican food is pretty bad!! As far as eating out…We eat out more here because it is so good and affordable!! I've even decided to leave the fish to my local Portuguese restaurants!!! Otherwise, I really don't miss much and we have a car, but rarely use it! I love the Portuguese cafes and cheap, good real coffee…Over Starbucks, and I had an addiction!! Fast food, never again!! Necessities, we have it all! My 2 cents…Thx for the video!!
Re the food. It’s becoming more known that the heavy food processing is Americas dirty little secret and it’s not necessary. expats from the US are letting us know this from Portugal, Spain and Mexico.
Make it yourself. I am glad I a a hardline vegan. I cook everyday. My foods are delicious. Everywhere we live in the world, we cook.
Another excellent video! Thank you for your informative content on practical day- to- day living abroad. These types of things are what set your channel apart from the other Portugal expat videos. You provide valuable insight to help those moving to a new country. Good job.
Great video! I also have thought of these 6 things I would miss. Are there Costco or Target types of stores in Lisbon or in all of Portugal? 🙂
Thank you for this! L🧡VE L🥰VE how you have once again hit on something I haven’t seen from other vlogs. Your unique topics are very appreciated and I’m looking forward to more content because I am trying to plan a trip to look around Lisbon this year (fall) armed with the info you’re providing. Could you perhaps at some point cover things like medical care, the mail system, daily life, shopping, your interactions with the people you’ve met, and social norms that you didn’t expect? Thanks again and best wishes for continued health and happiness!
Thank you for sharing! Glad I found your channel. Plan to do a trip to Portugal soon☀️
Thank you for this great information!! I want to not miss most things here. 😂 We are starting our journey as minimalists to prepare for our overseas move and have already given up subscriptions, eating out so much, and moved into a one-bedroom apt. We have realized how much stuff we don't need and are ready for a simple life. 😁

Coffee is a norm in Portugal, and who doesn't love a good cup of coffee! Is coffee really that good in Portugal? Yes!! I visit a few cafes in Lisbon, and chat about the coffee culture here. It's time for coffee!

Hello!!! #dr_iyare cured I and my friend from herpes virus..
"… you can join (Amazon) Prime in either of those locations (Spain or Germany)… " – I have Amazon Prime (Spain), I don't think I can choose Prime from another country (Germany, France, etc) unless I use a VPN to fake location. If you're in Portugal you can order from any Amazon site you want (though orders from outside the EU will be stopped at customs and taxed) but you're stuck with the Spanish version of Amazon Prime. Note: ebooks can only be ordered from Amazon USA.
Good stuff!! Love to hear your perspective.
I don't think I would miss having a car. In fact, Portugal's public transportation system is one of the strong attractions for me. One thing I would not miss about the US is the horrible produce. It might not have been as bad for you in California but much of the produce I buy has very little flavor even if I am buying in season. The Mercados that each town in Portugal seems to have are amazing to see and my mouth always waters when I watch any videos of them. Keep up the good work.
I believe that coffee away from home is so cheap that you can always drink it outside. And a lot of Portuguese do that too. You get to know your neighbors in the public cafe. Greetings from Termas de Monfortinho!

I am glad I subscribed as I appreciate your Channel content. My trip to Portugal last week was amazing and I miss it already. Thanks for helping my wife and I learn more about our prospective move.
