Great video! Spent 5 weeks in Portugal in 2022 and one week of that in Marvo. What a gem that place was.
@Orchid-Care
I confirm, Portugal is a wonderful place to live! Thanks for this video, you are really good at telling this adventure of yours 💕

Bom dia!! Hi there! I'm portuguese and I'm so glad you share this vídeo. It's very nice to know what people that come from the US or other places think of us and our culture. It''s true what you say about our history. I like it too! In fact, I'm a tour guide and also a portuguese teatcher, so whenever you need some info or some tips, I'll be glad to help you.😊

Very Honest conversation,no sugar coating!

My husband and I moved to Portugal a year ago. Your observations mirror ours. We are so happy with our decision to move, and we, too, are focusing on learning the language and building community in 2025.

Love your humility ❤️ 💕 😊

As a Portuguese-Canadian, I am happy to know that all has come together for you in 🇵🇹. May your retirement be pleasant and meet your expectations.

I enjoyed this video and the way you shared your candid impressions of Portugal. I am French, naturalized American, retiree living in Brazil since 2009 and candidate for becoming a Brazilian citizen. For 2 years I have been planning to emigrate to Portugal at the endof 2025 to be closer to my french family that I have not seen for 10 years. I can identify with what you are sharing because I passed through all the phases and changes that immigrants go through with my travel through 4 continents and my having to learn 5 languages in order to completely adapt to the new languages, culture and ways of life and I love it. I feel like a chameleon whisch is what you have to do as an expatif youwanttosurvive and thrive in your new envirgeneration onment. BTW I was born and raised in Algeria from 3 generations of french emigrants themselves born in Algeria. After the civil war, we lost our country that I still miss very much as I miss the US. What american food do I miss? since I spent 10 years in S. Cal, of course I miss mexican food living in Brazil and I am sure I will miss it in Portugal. Keep on producing interesting and instructional videos and classes for future expats.

This is all really good. Glad I found your channel. :)

I'm really looking forward to your course! I hope it covers all the main aspects of moving from the US to Portugal, including visa requirements in the US or when arriving in Portugal, the dos and don'ts, and the main forms that need to be translated into Portuguese. It would be great if you could recommend companies for these services. D7 and D8 visas and also the Taxes Visa that you can apply and provide some deduction and what are the requirements for it. I'd also love to learn about taxes for remote workers and retirees in Portugal, including examples of taxes and fees for moving retirement funds, and companies or individuals who can help with this. Could you also cover the immigration steps and whether it's better to have a lawyer or not? Information on rentals and buying properties, including recommended services and what to do or avoid before buying a property, would be very helpful. Lastly, it would be fantastic to know about expat communities we can connect with in Portugal, especially in Lisbon, Porto, and the Silver Coast areas. And, of course, any shipping companies that can help us move our belongings to Portugal. Thanks so much!

I’ve lived in Japan for over 16 years; it’s my 3rd country outside the US. Over time, I found that I do not miss anything in the US other than friends and family. All countries have their challenges, but I have found the greatest challenge for me is returning to the US to visit. If it wasn’t for my family, I would not return at all as I have found the culture, economy, infrastructure, etc. to be more of a shock (not for the better) each time I visit, and the American way of living more difficult to relate to. There is so much more out there to explore, so I will be retiring to Europe next year, most likely Portugal. I don’t think it will be difficult for me at all as I’m very use to bureaucracy, rule changes, etc. The language will be the greatest challenge, but I consider that to be one of the most interesting parts of the journey.

I was born and raised in France until the age of 12. My parents (and some of my grandparents) were immigrants there. We then moved back to Portugal and later in my life I myself immigrated to the UK. When the pandemic hit I couldn't visit my family in Portugal for 20 months. It was brutal. All of this just to say that I sympathise with you regarding having to leave your elderly father back home. Hope you get to visit him as often as possible. My experience from living in 3 different countries is that for good or bad you feel a connection that will stay forever between you and those countries so much more than just being a tourist. I'm not 100% Portuguese because now both France and the UK share my love and respect. Speaking of the UK, You're just 2 hours away from the place where you won't have to deal with the language barrier and is a very interesting country to visit. In any case you are now bound to Portugal for life. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful life in your Portugal.

I loved your video, I am from Portugal, live in N.A, miss Portugal terribly, the country all the old historical places, and the fact that one can so easily travel to other countries and cultures in Europe. As for being able to get coffee to go there are so many cafes, and when I was in Portugal I had my drinking coffee thermos, but I think in some places I asked for a cup to go (bad for the environment). Culturally people in Portugal do not drink coffee in the streets, in the car, on the go, they drink it in the caffès, different culture.

Hi Unretirees your work is excellent keep it up 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

We did our first trip to Europe to see where we want to retire, we started in Madrid, then Lisboa and final Milan. We saw that Madrid is not a city for family or small children. Milan was fine and we like the most Lisbon. My wife is Brazilian and we speak Portuguese with different accent. I need to visit more cities to make a decision or take longer vacations in one or more cities.
