I love how you live life based on your intuition and can drown out all the noise of society. Our time on this earth is limited and it’s amazing to see a few living so true to themselves
This was not just UA-cam video to me. It was like living my dream for 9 minutes. I am a minimalist and I also write in slow living but everytime I see your videos, I feel as if my heart is racing faster because the way you live is something that I want to attain as well. You are a perfect example of how you can achieve everything with grace and gentleness ❤️
Hi Renuka! i loved your comment on sophie’s video. her videos really inspire. its so amazing to be able to curate your life experiences by building a life of your dreams. thanks for inspiring us sophie.
I remember living in a backpack for 9 months. It made me realise how little I actually needed. Sad that I forgot it too quickly. I do consider myself a minimalist, but I'm still convinced more often than I'd like to that if I buy this thing I'm going to feel so much better.. So inspired to create when I see your beautiful videos 💜
I am going through something similar in my life right now. Impulsively, I packed up one small suitcase and started traveling around the country. Eventually, I stopped moving around and rented a one room apartment just for me- a very tiny one with old furniture. And here I realised that this small suitcase was just so enough for me. You were the first person I saw having videos on minimalism and you inspired me to challenge myself and see how much I actually need. I feel so free now, I managed to turn my back on things I though I could never do without. I am happy to see you, your partner and your two beautiful dogs are having great time here in Europe. Enjoy every single moment. Be blessed by the Universe. :)
I appreciate the gentleness in your video’s, so many of us let life pass by without realizing it. Recently retired, I am beginning to understand this. Best wishes for your dream
Since i started to watched your videos, i am more brave to do the things i really wanted. I moved out to a new place, practice the minimalism on my stuff and be truly happy on adventures. I was encouraged by this lifestyle and realized that i could do more without the latest trends of lifestyles. Thanks Sophie, it makes a lot of impact in my life.
I remember when I went to Portugal with my friend 8 years ago, our luggage got lost and did not make it there with us. We arrived for our ten-day trip with absolutely nothing but the clothes on our back. We went to sleep in what we had spent nearly 24 hours travelling in, and the next day purchased a change of clothes from a little shop near our hotel. We were young and didn't have much money to spend, and those clothes weren't fashionable or trendy one bit. Yet in every picture from that trip I look so genuinely happy, because I was. I really want to reconnect with my younger self, who was content just to be in a beautiful place with my friend, doing something new, completely unconcerned with how I looked. I haven't felt that carefree in years.
I left everything behind and I moved to Portugal two years ago. It wasnt easy but I have grown so much. It is the most beautiful country, people are amazing and life seems lighter sometimes. I hope you love it as much as I do. Welcome 🇵🇹
Hi Joy,how's the cost of living there? Im living now in one of the busiest and costly city and just starting to be minimalist and appreciate and enjoy what ever things i have now..and one thing im thinking of is to live in a quiet place.
Sophie I'm so happy that you and your husband and dogs made it. This latest video is so inspiring for me. I haven't visited Europe in many years. I have never been to Portugal but it looks so beautiful. I can't wait to see your future videos. The very best of luck to you and your husband. Stay well and live a good slow life while fulfilling all of your dreams.
I love how your videos inspires me to take the time to think about the path of my life in my own version. And I cannot thank you enough for that. Thanks for being a constant inspiration to me over 3 decades.
I love the philosophy you put out❤️to be happy in life we don't need alot of luxurious things or big houses. It's in the little things that we find joy: like spending time with your family, taking time to get to know yourself and being appreciative of the things we have✨️❤️
I checked a few times your channel in the past few hours looking for the uploading, so happy I can watch it now before to go to bed. Thank you for sharing with us Sophie ♥️🦋
I'm so proud of you, brave, independent though married, and that you still take risk for what you want . and im proud of 2 puppies becoming an international travelers! kudos! btw, your new home looks quite similar style as your maui home haha and you've adopted a lot of plants!
Yay! So happy you and your family made it :) My husband and I also want to move abroad to experience a new way of living. I can't wait to see the stories you'll share with us.
this was what i needed to hear!! I am in college and it is currently interview season. Sometimes I completely forget what I am doing in school especially since the people around me are so focused on a 9-5 successful career. I will be rewatching this video again and again as it reminds me of how i want to live my life!!
I been waiting for your video for so long 🥹 thank you for finally sharing lol never been this exited for any UA-cam video. You are my favorite UA-camr and your videos give me so many life lessons. Funfact I rewatched almost all your videos 😊. Thank you🙏🏽 and stay blessed. I just need to grab my tea, get comfortable and watch your video🤗
Welcome to Portugal 🇵🇹 We recently immigrated here too (just over 2 years now) from South Africa 😀 I absolutely love your videos and they inspire me so much🤍
Thanks for the wonderful 9-minute video. You are living the life that I aspire ~ which is living minimally yet fully at the same time. I am still in the process of overcoming my procrastination and this is a nice reminder of why I want to change my life. ❤
This is going to be my new favorite channel ❤️ I discovered you last night when I was decluttering my wardrobe. I absolutely love this new place you moved in. Sending you love 💕
Welcome to Portugal! I'm Portuguese and let me tell you living around a café can be challenging because of all the noise (Specially if there's a tv passing sports inside) but I hope you have a great time and feel welcomed, I wish you all the best and I'm excited to hear about this new stage in life!
I’m about to do the same and leave all my loved ones to move abroad, and your video helped me feel less alone and motivated me to keep following my dreams. Love your videos! Thank you❤️
Ohhh, those first moments in a new and different place. It’s so exciting and amazing. It’s a beautiful town, so beautifully calm. I live in Spain and in my hometown, we live the way you told (open doors, people stops in their way to greet you and sometines we can have a coffee together. We have no simming-pools, because in summer we spend the afternoon by the river, swimming and sharing a snack…) You can forget to shopping and consumerism. I wish you all the best in your journey. You are inspiring. It’s a brave decision 👏🏻💖🌷
I'm so happy for you and your family. It takes Bravery to leap into the unknown. I'm excited for you and may this amazing adventure bring you all the joy that you have been seeking. God Bless!
Be very welcome to Portugal! Your channel has helped me going through dark times. You just spark a kind of calm joy i needed in my life. Right now, I'm decluttering my childhood bedroom from stuff I didn't even know I had. It's such an overwhelming task, I need to stop and refocus every now and then. I was watching your video during one of those breaks, so thanks for providing the encouragement and peace I need right now to keep this task forward. I hope we get to meet one day, but if not at least I got your channel 🤗
Yay I'm so excited to see that you uploaded Sophie, also your video came at the perfect time because I'm also contemplating a big move and it has inspired me so much as usual, Thank you for all that you do, you are such a light on this platform.
As a portuguese my heart was completely filled when I saw this video 🥺❤️! I wish you all the best in this new chapter, I'm sure you'll love this little garden of ours planted by the sea :) Wishing you the best of luck 🫶🏼
First time overseas was a trip to Portugal for 6 weeks with 3 little kids. I only took 3 changes of clothes and didn't miss my wardrobe. I LOVED the slow pace of life, the ocean, living in one place for a while (not running around like a tourist). We have often dreamt of moving to Portugal. Love, love, love seeing your perspective and choice of lifestyle. Thank you for the inspiration.
Aloha Sophie! 🌺 Amazing! Just amazing! We are so happy for you both. Your new home is absolutely beautiful! We can’t wait for more videos on Portugal 🇵🇹! Please tell us all about it. The culture, language, food, wine, Rent. Your sweet dogs look so happy! We are sending you happy thoughts of peace and kindness..
Thank you for sharing your inspiring and courageous journey with us! I love all of your videos, yet, I especially love what you shared in this one: "Breaking out of the status quo can be intimidating because it requires you to carve your own path instead of following the plan that's been laid out for you, but despite it all, if you still choose to follow that spark of curiosity and lead with your heart, I truly believe that you will be rewarded with a life that's full of purpose and the freedom to create the most beautiful story that is uniquely yours." - YES!! So very true!! What pearls of wisdom!!! Beautiful!!! 💖
Looks a beautiful place! I am from the UK but now live in Spain. And I love the slower pace of life, doing things that don't cost money. Appreciating what you have, even the simplest of things. It looks like you are going to be very happy in your new home.x 😊
I absolutely adore you and your videos. Not only are they calming, border line ASMR which I love, but always stunningly beautifuly shot mixed with incredible insight on life. I can relate a lot to stories you've shared along your journey and thought I'd share some of my insight also. I've lived in 8 states, soon to be 9, and studied abroad in Florence,Italy in college. I brought 2 pieces of luggage and a backpack for 6 months, I was lightest packer amongst all my American classmates and I still felt I had too much junk and literal baggage weighing me down. I only took backpack to travel throughout Europe on my weekends and it was so freeing. When I graduated college I moved halfway across the country with only whatever could fit in my little two-door car. And soon after,My mom And I moved from Chicago to Oahu and it was the biggest life lesson in the best way possible! We stupidly still had stuff we put in storage despite selling and getting rid of a lot before the move to Hawaii, but we literally had nothing but the clothes on her back and sat on patio chairs and slept on pool lounger toy in place of an air mattress since we couldn't afford one yet until we eventually got slightly nicer things, though mostly they were still all second hand or free items found on the island. It was one of my favorite places I've ever lived with views of diamond Head and Honolulu and ocean of course. It really taught us how little we needed material wise to love and appreciate life. as my husband and I are now about to move across the entire country from Oregon to Virginia, we're facing similar situation where we're getting rid of every single thing we own except for whatever can fit in our car. I'm really excited for a whole new clean slate, away from so many things, aside from photos of memories of those that who have passed on or from our childhood, everything else is still replaceable and nothing as special as we think they are while living amongst it. I also love how you remind us to live for OURSELVES and stop letting others or situations or society drain us of our true heart's desire. At the end of the day, it's us and only us, who live with our decisions and live in our own skin. It's been hard to break away from places with family or friends pressures or resistance to our change but life is too short to live it for others vs ourselves! Congrats on the move to Portugal and inspired as always by you!
Watching your videos is kind of relaxation therapy. I know that I don’t relate to the lifestyle that you talk about but I truly enjoy listening and watching to what you have to say. Good luck on your journey! And thank you for this grounding energy 🙌🏻🫠
Listening to u is soooo liberating. Am soon to start my new life which I have been yeaning for for soooo long.❤❤❤ I hope u still happy where ever u are❤❤❤
Hi Sophie. I recently found your channel and I really like it. I love your videos and I find your voice so calming. Thank you for inspiring me to live a minimalist life or a life that doesn’t required a lot to be happy. Thank you for making this channel I look forward to watching new videos 😊
Thank you for sharing your new life. And it makes me so happy to see you talk about Portugal. It's exactly how it is. My parents are Portuguese and I'm so happy every time I go back. I'm going in one month 🙂
Dear Sophie, thank you so much for your videos, for sharing moments of your personal life, which are so inspiring, warm and encouraging. It is a gift to have found you! Best wishes for you and your husband in Portugal 💓🍀🌻
One of your better videos. Thank You!! everything was beautiful! The scenery. the words you spoke. and you were extra beautiful in this video. maybe the excitment of your place there. you were radiating.
I know you don’t live here anymore, and this video is old, but my family fell in love with this village, having lived in Portugal for 4 years growing up. It is absolutely the best example of what the portuguese culture has to offer and we finally bought a property there! 🥰
I just love those little puppies of yours. :-) Best wishes in this wonderful new chapter. So excited for you. You are doing what I wish I could be doing. ♥
Hi Sophie,🤗🙅🏽♀️💐 I truly admire you and your husband for having the courage to leave everything behind to follow your dreams.🌟✨ You have become a great inspiration in my personal journey. I'm so grateful for your channel and all the valuable experiences that you share in each video! 💐🌺💞You are amazing! I love your new home, it looks very cozy! 🏡💛💙❤️
I cannot believe there is someone out there with my same white dog. He's a rescue and we've never seen one like him. It was shocking to see you have one too. You made such a brave decision and I admire it. I want this life too. I hope I can achieve it someday. Having kids is making the decisions to move much harder.
Dear Sophie, I'm in love with your videos and thoughts that have been so rasinate and aligned with mine. Because of your videos, I finally decided to quit my stressful but decent pay job and start to live more simple and intentional life. To others, my resignation maybe looks missing a great opportunity, but by the time I quit the job, I feel freedom and happiness. I really appreciate your thoughts and videos, and all the best in your new journey!!!
Hi, Luv your videos so calming and relaxing!! Was wondering if you could do a video about advice on moving on from a breakup and to stop holding on to something or someone that you know is not good for you… also I suffer from anxiety and overthinking was wondering if you would make a video on advice or that and how to manage those feelings 🥰🫶🏻
Dear Malama! I was feeling disappointed today and was trying to motivate myself. Your voice, the way you explain about real things made me really calm. And this video is so beautiful. Thank you so much for being you 😊big hug 🤗
I'm so happy for you. As always, another video I loved. Thank you for this - I really needed to hear this. Can't wait to see your future videos living in Portugal!
So glad to see you’re back! I kept looking for your videos trying to be patient lol. I love your content so much. Congratulations on the new place! It looks so beautiful and simple. ❤
I’m portuguese and actually I already watched your channel before you came to Portugal! Really funny to see that you are here now 😁 Welcome! I hope you love it here. Portugal has amazing places to visit all over the place. Have fun and be happy 🤍
I totally agree with you, I always start my day with her videos. And the best thing I like about her is her mesmerizing voice. God bless you, Sophie. Love you so much:)
I'm originally from Spain, the Mediterranean coast. I love the fact you moved to Lisboa, it reminds me a lot to my hometown. Hope you have the chance to visit Málaga and the rest of Andalucía 💜
So happy for you and excited to see more of your life in Portugal. We love Lisbon and have visited many times. Such a beautiful place. Wishing you both all the best.xx
Personally, I really love how you view the world Sophie , i love the courage and love you put to into your life . I hope one day I also find myself in your situation. To be a minimalist and learn to appreciate lil things in life.
I love how you live life based on your intuition and can drown out all the noise of society. Our time on this earth is limited and it’s amazing to see a few living so true to themselves
Beautiful comment. 💜🌿🧡🌱
Thank you so much :) I really hope that this message can spread to others as well!

One of your better videos. Thank You!! everything was beautiful! The scenery. the words you spoke. and you were extra beautiful in this video. maybe the excitment of your place there. you were radiating.
I know you don’t live here anymore, and this video is old, but my family fell in love with this village, having lived in Portugal for 4 years growing up. It is absolutely the best example of what the portuguese culture has to offer and we finally bought a property there! 🥰
Agree with you. A little gem
I’m so happy you and your family made it safely. Portugal looks beautiful! What a great new adventure. 😊🙏🏼❤️
So amazing Sophie! So happy for you and glad you're back 🤍🥰✨️
I just love those little puppies of yours. :-) Best wishes in this wonderful new chapter. So excited for you. You are doing what I wish I could be doing. ♥
They are also loving Portugal :)
The long wait is over! We've missed you! This makes me wanna push my self to my dream of cycling around my country,
OMG IM SO GLAD YOU GUYS MADE IT SAFE ❤I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO SHOW US MORE. Sending love and so much prayers 🙏🏾🎉❤

Goodluck on your new journey, Sophie! Can't wait to watch your videos while living in Portugal. Stay safe! 🤍
I love how you go for the things that makes you happy, you are so inspiring. looking forward to seeing more from your life in Portugal
I cannot believe there is someone out there with my same white dog. He's a rescue and we've never seen one like him. It was shocking to see you have one too.
You made such a brave decision and I admire it. I want this life too. I hope I can achieve it someday. Having kids is making the decisions to move much harder.
I've only seen one other dog who looks like my white dog lily :) and thank you for the sweet comment

Dear Sophie, I'm in love with your videos and thoughts that have been so rasinate and aligned with mine. Because of your videos, I finally decided to quit my stressful but decent pay job and start to live more simple and intentional life. To others, my resignation maybe looks missing a great opportunity, but by the time I quit the job, I feel freedom and happiness. I really appreciate your thoughts and videos, and all the best in your new journey!!!
Thanks again for another wonderful video! I really needed to hear this. Thank you, and hope ya two are enjoying the new scenery in Portugal 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi, Luv your videos so calming and relaxing!! Was wondering if you could do a video about advice on moving on from a breakup and to stop holding on to something or someone that you know is not good for you… also I suffer from anxiety and overthinking was wondering if you would make a video on advice or that and how to manage those feelings 🥰🫶🏻
Dear Malama! I was feeling disappointed today and was trying to motivate myself. Your voice, the way you explain about real things made me really calm. And this video is so beautiful. Thank you so much for being you 😊big hug 🤗
Yipiy! Welcome home Sophie & Family. I can't wait to hear your journey in Portugal. Send my love to those two pawkiddos, they are too adorable. 🥰
