    OK, first off, you two are adorable! I really appreciate how you've presented the information. Your video and text editing are tight and not free formed. You clearly did your research, made a plan and presented very clearly. I can't begin to tell you how many folks out there post 15, 20 or even 30 minute videos on "the cost of retiring in (fill in the blank) and have about 2 to 3 minutes of actual useful info followed by the rest at a ramble with either no focus or focusing on various topics. It's exhausting. So, I'll be watching your series with a great deal of interest.
    If you ever do another video on property in the regions, I'd love to see samples of less modern properties. For many home buyers, the rage is new, new, new. For us it's personality and tradition. We'd definitely watch a video on that! Thanks so much!

From the Northern region where some of the best "Mom & Pop" restaurant cooking anywhere, to the Lisbon region where they party like 1999. And finally, the Algarve where I'd like to retire myself. This region still has the Moorish African influence still embedded within Its culture which makes this place feel like home.

In the summer, the city is just overcrowded with tourists and that is the #1 thing I deplore. In that regard, I really miss the old days, but the place is still so beautiful and so dear to my heart ❤️

      Which neighborhood in Lisbon do you live in? How close are you to a metro?
      We were in Lisbon last week and when I look at idealista.pt and check out neighborhoods around Avenida da Liberdade , Lisbon Oceanarium, etc, I see that the apartments are more in the million Euro range..

    Wow, if TV was still relevant, you two should definitely have your own show on the Travel Channel. Very nicely done, and the most informative video about living in Portugal that I've seen thus far. Organized information with definitive vs descriptive phrasing is key. I don't like when I'm looking for numbers, and other channels will say, "this is expensive, this is cheaper, this is reasonable". That tells me absolutely nothing. You two knocked it out of the park. Thank you.

We love and support you guys and have shared all of your videos with family and friends. We will contact you when we are ready to move to Portugal. We've visited several times in the past and were debating between Portugal and Spain. We are heading to Portugal as my wife grandparents were born and raised in Portugal and we are considering relocating to Algarve or Cascais.

I'm flying out after the first of the year to kick some cans around, we have a neice outside Lisbon, then Elsa (my wife and I are renting a villa next June near Lisbon on the coast for our 25th anniversary and bring our kids and grandkids to celebrate with us, we originally planned to do this in Santorini, Greece, after which we will move to Lisbon, rent an apartment for a year, get the lay of the land and then liquidate everything and make the move, time line, 2.5 years!

  • @joaofaria4735
    @joaofaria4735 2 роки тому

    I am originally from Minde, Portugal. I am currently in Winnipeg, Canada. We are known for deep freeze cold and large snowstorms. You hit it bang on with Nazare as your pick for the Central region.
    I do have an alternative though, for those requiring a bit more ammenities while staying close to the ocean and beaches.
    Leiria is just large enough to offer more ammenities, especillay for healthcare, sports, and education. Yet is still only half hour from the coast.
    Given the option to come back, the Algarve is tempting, however i would choose Leiria for the affordability and the other reasons mentioned above.
    All in, it does not really matter where you are as most locations are short day trips via either car, coach, or train. Get out there and enjoy.

    We can’t believe how similar our situation is to yours! we reached FIRE in August 2019, I’m 37 and my partner 40, we came to Portugal from Spain, attracted by the friendly people and tax advantages. We were exploring a lot of places in Portugal, we DON’T have a car (we prefer not to drive), we are currently renting in Ericeira and looking to buy around here. Do you have any thoughts about Ericeira? Looking forward to the big reveal! 😉

    @sneakyfox8939 4 роки тому

    If you’re thinking of going to Lisbon you have to consider that some places are extremely touristy, especially in the season (in non-pandemic years) and may not be the place you want to live permanently. If the budget is $200.000 you don’t need to worry though, that might get you a room in a basement if you’re lucky... You’ll need to consider the outskirts although prices are going up further and further out as people can’t afford the center anymore. And the coast is expensive as well of course.
    My possibly biased suggestion would be to cross the bridge as they mention, that will help a bit on the prices while still being close to the city. You can go by train or boat - 10 minutes by boat from Cacilhas (Almada) and a bit more (and less often) to Seixal or Barreiro. Maybe even go down to Setúbal which connects conveniently to Lisbon by train.
    The airport in Lisbon is almost downtown, so you have to consider where the planes come in and the noise from that, but another airport is planned near Montijo on the other side of the river.

    @petroglyf1973 3 роки тому +4

    First off, thanks for all the amazing info you share, I'd like to know you guys' thoughts on two negatives about Portuguese housing that gets mentioned a lot: 1. is how cold houses/apts get in winter, and 2. the noise levels, from neighbors, but also dogs. Thanks!

    • @OurRichJourney
      @OurRichJourney  3 роки тому +1

      For the winter months, it really depends on how well the house is insulated. Because it gets cold, you'll likely still want a house with a heater or a fireplace. But, if it's not insulated well - even with a heater or fireplace, the house can be just too cold! And noise level depends on where you live. In condos/apartment - noise can get loud. But, again, it depends on the construction! :)
