We sold everything, and downshifted to our “Second Half of Life.” We are here on Madeira Island, Portugal.

  1. New subscriber here! Love all your videos!
    Planning to retire early too in Portugal. Were you on D7 Visa? If it is, will you be able to discuss your experience in processing et al. Thanks much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  2. Thanks for the segment on the Madeira Story Center. Definitely a must see for my next trip to Madeira. Agree with you, that we found the tour of Blandyś wine cellar both informative and fun, and liked the yummy Madeira wine tasting at the end.

  3. Love this! We saw some of these when we were there in May. The doors were really cool. The upright bass player was one of my favorites. Blandy's is already on our list for our next trip, but there are a few here I'm sure we'll add as well.

  4. Friends, as always, a great video showing part of the nicest places in Madeira!! As we told you, both oy you have become excellent ambassadors who share the benefits offered by THE PEARL OF THE ATLANTIC 😃

  5. G’day
    Doug and Monique
    Thank you for the 3 day guided tour around the island
    Excellent Narrative and the pictures were wonderful.
    Let us know when you start your “Track US Down Tour Services ”on Madeira. We will be you first customers to sign up.
    As always can’t wait until next week.
    Cheers

  6. Hi guys! My wife and I love your videos. We are actually in Funchal now (!). Heading out to Calheta tomorrow (Sunday 10 July 22). Madeira is truly a magical place. We can appreciate why you chose it. @AllisonandCraig

  7. Madeira is the homeland of the legendary player called CR7!! Sending love to Madeira and all of Portugal from Belize central america and I'm a Real Madrid fan!! One love and respect always

  8. I'm here because of Madeira / Funchal is CR7 homeland!! CR7 is my hero!! Belize central america I'm from and I'm a Real Madrid fan but i have huge respect for CR7 forever and ever!!✌🏽🙏🌎☮️🇧🇿🇵🇹

  9. Love it! Love it! Love it! (Did I mention I love it? 🙂 You guys are a class act, and I'm delighted to learn more of what I can see when I finally get to live in Madeira! Keep well, and Muito Obrigada! — V from New Mexcio

  10. Thank you for taking us on this lovely and historic journey through Funchal. Beautiful artwork, every door was interesting and unique, I like the them all. Wonderful video ❤

  11. Great video as always. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief time in Funchal this year, and very much look forward to coming back in 2023 for a more extended stay! The painted doors in Old Town were a fun, self-guided walking tour that we did this year.

  12. I can't wait until I get there and can do all those things. I am doing the hardest part right now. That is, getting all my documents together for the D7. My appointment with VFS is in September. Once I complete that, I will start to do the sale of my furniture and donate other items. Hope to meet you there!

  13. Hi again! For once I don't have anything to say except…Great new video series and I need to go to Funchal! Oh, and I loved all of the doors and need to see them!! Enjoy your beautiful weather…Upper 30's here in Lisbon!😎😓

  14. 🤩 an amazing place! I think that tree was a cactus. I saw some cacti like that in Arizona, very old ones. Is the teleférico used as public transportation? I know it’s expensive but I wonder if they offer discounts for frequent users.

  15. This is our first foray into our new series: "Travel With Track Us Down!" Travel is part of the Freedom that comes with Downsizing and Retirement. Tell us what you love about Funchal! Hope you enjoy our new hometown, and all the best! Monique & Doug 🤗
