Are you actually working there? Just going somewhere to hang out retired is not the same as actually living there. It's a false portrayal of life anywhere.

Just found your channel. We moved here in Feb. We pay 900 in Saldanha for a T-1, what neighborhood are you guys in?

Yes, Yes, yes Thank you for talking about the reality. I will add being a tourist in Portugal and moving to live here are 2 completely different experiences. Lots of learning, lots of patience and definitely learning the basics of the Portuguese language is a must if your planing on moving here. 🙌

I love watching your videos. I was born in Portugal, moved to the States in 1971 and visit Portugal 2-3 times per year, including during Covid. I am a “mountain goat” as my American husband says, lol. I am from Serra da Estrela and I love that area with the exception of driving there from Lisbon after a long flight. Prices in Portugal are definitely all over the place, Lisbon and Algarve being the highest. In my city of Gouveia, prices are so amazingly low where you can find a rental for €200 per month. My parents pay less than €150 property tax per year for their 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath. A complete meal, soup, salad, entree, dessert, coffee, wine or drink of your choice, costs me € 6-8. So, this is just to clarify that prices depend where you chose to live. One thing is certain, you can’t go wrong in Portugal where choice are available, the people are 99.9% the sweetest, most giving and helpful people in the world, nature, history and culture take your breath away and let’s not forget that Portugal is the THIRD safest in the WORLD!
Makes me so happy that your are loving my little country with the biggest soul! Stay well, happy and keep posting! 👏🙏🏻❤️😘💐

thanks for the video! loving the bicycle path in the background 🙂

Great video! Our apartment in Areeiro is cold inside during the winter season. It was built in 1945.

About the cost of living…. Portugal, because it has become so popular as a destination for emmigrants (I am sorry, but in my opinion the term "expats" is just a "floury" designation that americans use to deflect the negative connotations that the word "immigrant" has in the context of the USA) is becoming quite expensive. In fact, many Portuguese people, though welcoming this new trend, are starting to consider whether they can affird to live in their own country.

Well…. About 62% of Portuguese people speak fairly good English…. Compare that with the average in Spain and France, or Italy… And Portugal is far better. However, when in Rome…..

Great work!
Simple and straightforward. Thanks

Hello Kirsten,
Thanks for the great work you’re doing.👍❤️
I appreciate it so much.

Hello Kirsten,
I just would like to add, the euro is always more expensive than the dollar which most people seem to forget.
Thanks!

This is helpful thank you.

Love the hustle and bustle of outside..Thanks for shooting the impromtu video..Have a great week

Hi! I agree…Not everyone speaks English, but many do…Thankfully and to my detriment!! I agree, not everything is cheaper! For me, it's about discovering where to find products that are more expensive for a cheaper price so…Shop around! Lastly, we found an apt with no mold or cold!! It's all possible so have faith and persevere towards your happiness!!

American's just are always thinking that they are special and people need to bend over for them but fvck that no body tried to speak Portuguese for thirty seven years on long island for me so yeah step out you need to be the one doing the work not the other way around

Nice that you were outside. I’m lightly working on learning Portuguese. The people who complain about the damp and cold, seem to mention they didn’t have heating. Your B- rating is helping. I saw that it was important to know the rating, to avoid any moldy, cold surprises.

Another great video! Keep bringing us the reality of moving to Portugal.

Hello 😊👍
