  1. Both Spain and Portugal are pretty bad. Yes you have a beach. But you have and will make no money surrounded by weird points of view but when you return to L.A. or N.Y you can tell everybody you are European now at dinner parties so that s nice.
    I have lived in Spain for most of my life. Raised children sold houses spean Spanish and Catalan and I can tell you there is no greater country that the U.S. I am willing to debate anyone on the matter as well. From tax rates etc the U.S. is better. Simple because these people do not pay for services do not tip and lack leadership. Weird people. Cheers. Unwelcome your input.

  2. I spent a weekend in Peniche. Such a peaceful place, amazing view, great food, nice people. I am also talking in general about Portugal. And I left a part of my heart in Nazare… Amazing memories

  3. Really surprised when you said you were in peniche , grew up in that area and going to Baleal as our beach, cool to see a video about it 🙂 missing it as I’m living in England

  4. I’ve recently bought an apartment in the Algarve. I LOVE Portugal – great countryside, beaches, people, food, wine and culture. I hope to spend a LOT of my retirement there 😁

  5. Later on, why don't you make a separate videos about everything. Real estate, food, shopping, vacation resort towns, buying a car, cost of living, big city atmosphere vs smalltown living(I don't mean rural). This kind of stuff.

  6. Portugal for sale. People are coming, portugueses are leaving. Portugal is a good country for rich people, that create poverty so poor people with minimum wage can work for few money to people with money. Portugal has life quality. I like to see tourists here, but that is creating a more expensive life for native people. Tourists should start saying to the restaurants and house sales "how much? Thats to expensive!"

  7. Just out of curiosity… Do you know active people who have the NHR status with an income coming from a foreign country?
    I had been considering it at some point a year or so ago but at the time I've been told this wasn't an option for me because my income comes from a US company (I am French not American this is just the company I work with as an independent distributor)… However after looking into it again, it would seem it is actually possible for me to benefit from that status. So I'm thinking to get myself a cheap flat near the Spanish border that way I could go travel in Spain any time I want…
    So anyway, if you know people (active people not retired) with that status I'm interested 🙂
    Thanks.

  8. My mother is from Portugal and my father is from Germany. I grew up in both countries but now live in Berlin because it’s much easier to find work and make money here, and while I love Germany because I’m half German my heart belongs to Portugal and her beautiful beaches and sunny skies. It is my dream to retire in Ericeira, the village where my mother’s from 🇵🇹 💜

  9. Language and jobs the only negatives!! Sounds like an ideal place for me. I love to learn languages (speak 4 already) and I will be retiring with a pension, so I would look for a job just not to get bored but not for survival needs. PORTUGAL, here I come!!

  10. According to a quick search, the required monthly income for a Portuguese residence visa for people not planning to work is €1100/month (subject to change, so do check.) Not bad.
