I get a lot of questions about moving to Portugal and starting a new life in a new country. Below are the four that come up most often, as well as requests for videos. In this video I explain why I don’t make these videos and point to information that’s already here on Youtube.
🤨 Public transport, trains, buses and living in Portugal without a car.
🤨 Buying and renting property in Portugal and looking at farms for sale.
🤨 D7 Visa
🤨 Cost of living in Portugal

As much as I love having you here and watching my videos I'm not precious about keeping you on this channel for the sake of it. I've suggested some videos (linked in the description) that I've been asked to cover. There's no point in reinventing the wheel when others have it covered so well.
Great info. Thank you
As someone else has already mentioned I enjoy watching you interview other ex-pats, and follow ups with them as well. You and Cindy together are hilarious to watch.😁
Good stuff! You be you… you are right, there are plenty of others who focus on immigration & moving.
"To be quite honest, it would bore me to death to do a video about costs and budgets." 😄Your candid style is why we watch. Just passing along another channel about buying property. "Mr and Mrs Adventure" have a huge following from RVing around the world. They recently moved to Portugal to buy property in the countryside and are traveling to each property in an RV that they bought in Portugal. They give some good insight on the pluses and minuses of each place they are considering while traveling around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYMRRP84u_w&t=286s
I love watching your videos and through them I've seen places in Portugal I've never been to, even though I'm portuguese born & bred.
The YouTube channel I'd like to recommend here is Savvy Cat Realty, for those wanting to apply for visas & residency in Portugal. They are portuguese, very professional and experienced on how the system works, they can sort everything from visas, residencies, rentals & buying property, they have specialized lawyers, and their fees are very "portuguese" too. Not inflated prices for foreigners. They'll save you money & worry in your quest.
What I don't recommend is seeking advice from other foreigners that don't know how the system works, and most IMPORTANT… don't give a power of attorney to anyone that is not a professional. Specially people that operate online only and don't have a business address and are not professionals or registered as a business. I'm not going to point out names here, but there are some "sharks" around trying to exploit & fool unsuspecting newcommers.
All the best! ⛱☀
Really enjoy watching your hikes and exploring. But when you said “sorry not my bag” to a couple of those questions — I hit the subscribe button.
Thank you for the information. I really enjoy your videos.

Great vlog Luise
🙏☘️😘
I love the hiking vids and the chats with immigrants. Destino Portugal do some property videos, I watch them for the estate agent, Paola she is very funny. I have found living in small towns and villages much more expensive than living in London.
My like was deserved, you are not smart, you are very intelligent and plus, a sensitive person!!! Good answers !
I love the format of your videos as they are. I love the road trips, the different neighbourhood house sits, and visits, and of course, when you and Cindy Vine get together😁 Glad you did this video to point people to the resources that can answer their questions👍🏽Funnily enough I am subscribed to all those channels, with the exception of Frugral Travellers. I totally share your view about Carl, though the channel is full of useful information, as you pointed out. Need a couple cups of coffee/tea,or play it in the background😂🤣😂
Just keep doing what you do. I love it that you are just you, and you do what you love. Also remember you inspired me to explore house-sitting and we just love it! We are due back to Portugal in a few weeks and we are returning to the Algarve to look after a house and the pooches for the third time! Might even add a video on our channel. 😉
Sweet, thanks enjoying your video's
That is interesting, your Portugal living costs being greater than when you lived in London. As you housesit, I thought you were able to keep your costs down. I am not sure which channel, I watched last week, a couple from UK who are travelling and housesitting in Portugal, their total annual living costs for two was less than 5K, amazing budgeting, I think you mentioned them, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdmx6tYvu8Y.
I would love to see you have your own base as I am soft for you, I admire that you are self reliant, independent and living your own life.
Thanks Louise….keeping it real as always
"More costly than London"
Are you having PG Tips flown in weekly 1st class?
Personally, I'm glad you aren't hawking property, explaining the D7, or cost of living in Portugal. Love your visits with other Portugal expats making their way in a new country.
You are hilarious. You just don’t give a f…k
