There are really good, beautiful Americans!

O norte é a região em que se come melhor. Não se come mais carne de porco no norte que no sul, é igual.

Fico contente por estarem felizes em Portugal. Aos estadunidenses que querem, venham, mas vão para fora dos grandes centros urbanos. O país tem muita beleza em todas as regiões. Vocês vêm trabalhar remotamente ou viver de rendimentos passivos, não precisam de estar nos grandes centros urbanos a "roubar" habitações aos que precisar de estar fisicamente nesses locais.

yeap, pastel da nata was the thing i missed the most during the 7 years out of the country in the netherlands. i missed also the food. i guess my taste buds missed more portugal than me. i was working and enjoying it all. it was worth it. glad you are enjoying yourself here! stay strong 🤠😎

Thank you. Obrigada. Would love to know where that Mexican restaurant is. Would you mind sharing? I’m arriving in Setúbal next week!

You have indicated that you take a pension and social security. I will assume you have traditional and Roth IRAs. It is beyond difficult to determine if annual earnings, but not distributions, from both traditional and Roth IRAs are taxable (assume not NHR status). Comment? Since NHR is no longer available, it appears that the combination of Social Security, pensions, and dividends would easily put one in the 48% Portuguese tax bracket versus less than 1/2 that in the U.S. I also agree, that contributing to the country's economy is important and would be happy to pay reasonably higher taxes. Your thoughts please. Thank you

Another great video! I love the insight on the food!

First timer - subscribed ! Loved your vlog & your life sounds fabulous. Merry Christmas. I agree on Positano but I actually love the entire Amalfi coast especially during the wine festival season.

Great video! Thank you for the info on healthcare!! So helpful. I hope all is okay now for both of you. PS I like the subtitles!

We really enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting!

I hope you asked for the NHR to pay less taxes in Portugal because it will end in December 2024. In relation to taxes, if you earn more than the average salary of €1200 in Portugal, you will pay a lot

Beautiful discovery to your channel thank you for the sharing 👍 👍

There are a couple of Apple stores in Portugal, as well as Apple-authorised resellers and technical support reps. If you go to your Apple Support app on your phone, you can even schedule a visit and check out what the cost should be, etc. Enjoy your time over here! :)

there's a good treatment for asthma, the "Termas". it's the same as a spa but not a common one. inform yourselves which is best for your case with any general practitioner doctor. a phone call and a quick reservation will do the trick but may have waiting period. don't forget your bath suits and prepare yourselves to drink sulfurous water, bathe, etc. truthfully, the water smells like ass. 😂 now seriously, very hygienic and clean. does wonders. has sulfur in it so it does smell. the taste has a slight tang but never the less quite drinkable. stay strong 🤠😎

Golden visa was never really meant for people who want to actually live in Portugal. The Portuguese government has largely retooled the visa by investment, but for anyone wanting to actually live here, it is still easily the worst option.

Hmmm... Can't turn off close captions... It's very distracting

Olá Crystal & Rob, It's nice to see another of your videos. I'm going to share a little Fun Fact with you. Thanksgiving actually started in Canada... we also celebrate it, but in October, as our harvest season is earlier than in the USA. Most 'Americans' don't know this :) * that could be why the butcher was mistaken. Perhaps he looked up Thanksgiving and found ours. I've rented a place in Setúbal (with a view of the water) for 3 months... I plan to visit Sesimbra a few times!! Thanks for sharing all your travel experiences :) Boa Festas - Boa Natal

If you enjoyed Santorini try the Azores islands

You answered a lot of questions. Visiting Lisbon and the Algarve next June and can't wait.

Gorgeous photos!

Autoimmune disorders are increasing exponentially here in the states. Even among many of us who believe we are following a healthier diet. They’re destroying our food. I can eat corn every day in Mexico, and one meal in the states will make me sick. Planning on moving to Spain or Italy for a healthier slower paced life prior to my. Retirement.

i love it that you left the public for those who need to use it.

Great video, thank you for your insight. We moved here for similar reasons, better health being a big one. It's funny I've only eaten fast food once or twice and was like meh, after 6 months it was so poor compared to a local burger place we have here in Guimarães. We have been here for one year now and I'm looking forward to living in more areas around Portugal soon. Até a próxima!

Thanks you for this video. Very helpful!

We love Christmas in Europe. Germany is also one of our favorites!

Please comment and share your Christmas experiences in Europe! Let's learn from each other! 🎄😊

Por favor, may I ask if you had Medicare before you left and if so, did you drop it when you left? I am considering emigrating to Portugal after several recon trips there and am trying to figure out what to do with Medicare, because if I drop it and then find myself having to go back to the US, they will essentially fine me through higher payments for having dropped it. I very much appreciate your entire helpful presentation. It is a great help with my research. Muito obrigado!

Great video. Thanks for the advise!

Add your comments about working remotely in another country. We can learn from each other! 🙂

Qu’en penses-tu ?À très bientôt.Sébastien "Sébastien callens < UA-cam 1800 Abonné +++

One of the best videos

We need help with the visa D7 my husband is from Canada and we are in Capetown South Africa can you help

I would add the following: If you need a medical assistence and you are not prepared... no health insurance, no passport,... whatever, if you need assistance, just go to a public hospital emergency, you will be assisted and you don't have to pay, probably you will need to wait some hours, but that's the price you pay for a free health system.

Why is there a BRAZILIAN statue in a video about Portugal?

This is so helpful. We have decided to jump ship and go as tourists as we know we will get our visa after our flight reservations. We have a home we purchased and want to move into. Happy to hear it worked out for you! We're hoping for the same. I also have US food-related health issues. I began to notice that whenever we were traveling in Europe, my health improved dramatically. The food is a big incentive for our move.

Thank you for your video Im from the Caribbean. I want to move to Portugal. I will visit first in the near future. I will keep in touch with you Crystal Blessings

Até logo, not lago.😉

You forgot about the Iberian bear that is also found in the north of Portugal and the red deer, roe deer and fallow deer 🙂

Came here after viewing your video about living there for 3 years. Very informative. We are still keeping an open mind about potentially retiring to Portugal or Spain.

In the Lisbon region, there was a mild one 22 days ago. Here in Coimbra, where I have lived since December 21, nothing has happened. I started 2023 in Funchal to see the fireworks, and little tremors are usual but harmless. Azores is terrible.

Thanks for all the great advice. Your videos are very informative. Please stay healthy and happy.

Your video may have tipped the scales for me to spend my early retirement years in mainland Portugal v Madeira, thank you for your kind authenticity

1. MGEN: Known for its collective insurance approach, it generally provides more affordable health coverage. MGEN tends to focus on essential health services at lower costs but may have fewer options in terms of specialist care and international coverage. 2. Allianz: A global leader, Allianz offers more comprehensive plans, especially beneficial for expats and those looking for extensive private care. Allianz provides better coverage for things like maternity care, surgeries, and prosthetics, with the option for international coverage. It also has better customer service and a larger network of doctors and hospitals in Portugal  . For a basic plan or cost-effective option, MGEN might be more suitable. However, for broader, more premium coverage, especially if you’re an expat, Allianz would be a better choice. It’s important to compare based on your specific health needs, family situation, and whether international coverage is necessary.

Thanks for a great video about Living in Portugal. I’m a South African living with my dog in Portugal from 9January 2020. Enjoy the positive experience.

Did you guys have to get a long term lease before going there?

May I know what private health insurance you have? My husband and I are planning to retire in Porto Portugal, we’re older, concerned about insurance. Thank you
