I’m really grateful to have found this video. I’ve been looking at Bali as a place to move. I’m a bit older than you and the points that you brought up are what resonated the most with me. Weather, dating, music, walkability. Ironically, Portugal has been on my list as well, but I have yet to go there. Travel plans for 2023!

Adrian, you look fantastic and glowing with excitement on your new adventure in Lisbon glad to here you a mingling with the locals and dating.
I am so happy for you and wish you all the very best. xxx

Would you consider adding some real shots of the environment instead of the camera focusing on your face ? Gentle suggestion to make the video more interesting

Hi Adrien, I have been following your Bali videos closely the last 2 years since covid started. Will miss you Bali adventures. But your travel videos have been very professional and original. Will keep following you in your adventure. Keep it up!!

Happy for you . Where ever your heart ❤️ takes you- to have more dates and to find your soulmate

Well done, Adrien! A great option for those who are not from a Former Spanish Colony like me (I'm from the Philippines you know 🇵🇭). Learning a language can help you survive not just in Portugal but when you take a break in Brazil. And also for a Mediterranean climate? That's perfect for you (nice climate there).
Good luck in your journey to become a European Citizen! 🇪🇺🇵🇹🙏🙏👍👍🌟🌟🌟💓💓💓

Best of luck with the move Adrien and given what Bali seems to be becoming, I fully understand. I really look forward to future vids on Portugal, a place I've never been!

Wow, so nice to see this video and to feel how you love Lisbon so much! I do love it too; I'm from here and record a lot in Lisbon. The cobblestones, the architecture… the climate and the light. It was very nice to hear you say all that and much more. I wish you an amazing life in Portugal! 🙂 Cheers from Lisbon! 🙂

Com essa mustache ,tas em casa !

I’m excited for you.

Lisbon , Portugal has been on my bucket list. I think Europe is amazing. My good friends here in AK are going to retire in Spain, very close to Portugal. They have selected a town by the ocean.
In addition, Bali is making serious VISA changes, making it more difficult for those who already had been lining there. Mainly called second home visa, but you don’t qualify as a retiree.
Change is good! Bali is beautiful but a person can get in a rut there. I think Bali is like on hamster wheel regarding growth. They are trying to forcefully change that by changing the VISA qualification for those who want to live there long term.
I like that you are moving for future mental, spiritual and personal growth.
I think it would be awesome if you share the steps on how you are making this transaction (paperwork etc on visa). Including the agencies you have used to make the move happen.

Hello from CA. Enjoyed your comment, "I don't want to die alone in Bali" & you got up and did something about it. Bravo! "Never back, always forward"…..Going outside and be able to walk is special!

In general the Portuguese are far more kind and open(minded) compared to the Spanish and most speak at least a bit English. Portugal will welcome you. And bye the way, in my opinion you start a new chapter in your life of which you have only one. Be happy!

Selfie…?

Oh wow , so exciting Adrien! I’ll look forward to joining you on this new adventure! All the best wishes to you !

Mate, shame you aren't joining us in Madrid but Lisbon is gorgeous. As a transplant to Madrid from Sydney, Portugal does seem easier to move to. Apparently an announcement on the Spanish digital nomad visa is coming soon (but who know when). Hasta luego Adrien!

Heyyy, welcome to Europe. I can feel how much you enjoy the simple life, dating, culture, walking around and discovering everything. I am looking forward to your settling in and adventures. When P. becomes familiar you can hop over to any european city in a 1-2 hour flight, the whole continent will become your home.

Can you share your agency information for those who want to head to Lisbon?

Wishing you every happiness, I loved you Bali Vlogs….. Thankyou😊 Now I get to learn about a new place! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Knew he was gonna make the move. 🎉

I'm excited that you're excited with your decision to move to Lisbon. I enjoyed your videos from Bali, will enjoy your videos from Lisbon. I wish you well.

Good thing to do this when you’re still young, able to learn a new language, can date easily and have the energy to deal with the transition because I know at my age (early 50’s), I couldn’t be bothered with the process. I did this when I was 23 but I wouldn’t contemplate it now. Hope you’ll be happy and successful there!

Pode praticar português comigo 🙂

So glad you are enjoying Lisbon. As a point of difference to Italy and Spain, I found Portugal a more laid back/chilled environment and as a result the people are more friendly.

What about your US citizenship? You still remain as US citizenship? Take care and miss your Bali content too.

Hey adrien, document the process for the visa. I will be scouting Lisbon next spring.
