Great to get to know you some more on a more personal level! What I've noticed right away when I stumbled upon your channel was that you are both so down to earth, practical and funny people. I really enjoy that. Lovely video 💕
Would you ever be able to tell Max's story? Time does heal. I have a semi feral Chihuahua that came to me at 18mos and was considered untouchable. It took him 6 months just to come out of his crate while I was in the room. 6 years on and he continues to make baby steps. I'm still not allowed to pick him up. (After a nail trim, he's very skittish for about a week.) He has decided, just this spring, that it's okay to enter and leave the house while I'm standing in the doorway. Max will continue to heal and grow as long as he's in your loving care. Take care!!
Great video both. My husband and I did the same as you and decided to retire early and move to Portugal as life is too short ( covid brought this to the forefront). We also looked into France as the first choice but totally put off after spending time there and the hoops you had to jump through to get in after Brexit. We did a two week scouting trip to Portugal and decided it was for us. We moved out to Portugal end of July last year, bought a house in Obidos early August and moved in 4 weeks later, it was such a painless experience to buy a house. We have not looked back, it is a fantastic life, so laid back and such a beautiful country with such welcoming people. Best decision we have made.
@@geillis8248 We entered via the D7 visa which you have to prove that you have a certain monthly income to live on each month. This seems to be more important than any lump sump you have in the bank. We applied in June 2021 during Covid where we had to present our documents to the Portuguese consulate in Manchester, we were told it would take 6 weeks to receive our passports back with the 90 day visa stamped in. Once our passports came back we were also given a date with the border agency in Portugal for 3 months time where you then apply for the D7 visa. Within this 3 months we moved over to Portugal, managed to find a house to buy within 2 weeks and very luckily moved in one month later. We did use the services of an immigration firm in Lisbon who helped prepare for the D7 interview and also accompanied us there and helped translate during the interview. The visa was granted for 2 years and last month our renewal was up and now extended for a further 3 years. Hope this information helps.
In late July, we will be taking the ferry to Northern Spain and then taking 4 days to drive to our place in The Algarve. We have a couple of nights in CB. I'd be happy to bring you lots of tea bags and sweets (and anything else you would like) as a gift from me for all the pleasure and enjoyment you give me every week. You work so hard but you make it look so easy on camera!!
@@bearders22 Swedes are a vegetable they need to make their genuine cornish pasties 😊. I know, i thought i heard "sweets" too 😄 but realized it was swedes when they mentioned pasties. So bring swede seeds should do 😊👍🏼.
We also moved to central Portugal for early retirement at age 50, for exactly the same reasons. No mortgage, very reasonable health care costs, beautiful weather, wonderful people. There's no way we could do it in the US, especially California. We'd be toiling away another 18 years to eek out a retirement. There are a good number of things that are expensive here but if you have housing and healthcare covered, the rest is manageable.
Just wanted to say, I always enjoy watching you two develop your land and buildings. And also, Ange, from the minute I saw you after your operation and you were not in constant pain anymore, there was a lightness to your features, a grayness had left your skin tone, and you definitely looked younger, no matter what Nick says. Lol! So very glad to see you both doing so well and enjoying your lives in Portugal 🇵🇹 😀
Q&A in the rain was very funny. And quite touching that you shared so much with perfect strangers from around the world. We live vicariously through your videos and eavesdrop on your life twice a week. Thank you for allowing us in.
Thank you very interesting life's good choice great to hear that it's better purchse materials local than the bigger company's :) I am on a Irish passport but my van which is a 1997 Citroën Dispatch great van 1.9 td on the look for a good roof rack i am going to look into seeing if its possible to register the van in Portugal useful as it has 3 seats around useful van not sure about a trailer situation but i know it would be useful for my projects wonder if its possible to register trailer in Portugal 😊 thanks again for all your wonderful information 💚☘️⚒️🛠️💡⛏️🏡
Congratulations on your 10000 subscribers. You just forgot to mention how wonderful and welcoming the Portuguese people are. I really enjoy watching your videos, it's great to feel your spirit of mutual help. As a Portuguese I can only say, Welcome, and feel free to contact if you need anything from Bairrada. Best regards and Sorry for my english...
We have 44 acres and rural accommodation and now... I'm here seating and watching your video after a day of hard farm work ! but we would not change it a bit !! Well done guys !
We loved watching you! Wish we lived nearby. After the Q&A, we feel we know you better. Admire you so much! If everyone in Portugal were as nice as you I would move there. The events in the US with the Trump coup and the division make us fear for our Democracy. Europeans seem more educated and together perhaps because of your experiences of war and your education and historical experiences. Thank you so much for sharing your life and we wish you good health and happiness !
This was great! Thank you. I found your channel through Bee and Theo & really enjoy it - both of youseem kind, hardworking and joyful. Plus the way you exchange labor for lessons is brilliant! Watching Theo's skills grow is a great thing to see & I feel as though you saved their dream after the contractor left such a mess! Andrea seeing you heal is a testament to your determination and hard work but also to the medical care. As seniors we moved to the desert in Southern California (3.5 hours southof Vegas) & specialists are 45 miles away in Palm Springs. As we age, that is an important element in decision making! Luckily our Medicare is closer to your health care than most US options. So glad 😊 to have met you both!
Hearing one's own name on the telly certainly grabs your attention!! Delighted to hear all of the questions and answers. Delighted also that you have another swarm - and this one is a primary swarm, not a secondary. Marvelous
Great! Video. Nothing I do not agree on… especially Cornwall.All you said is very correct. I think you have done a fantastic choice. The fact that you have building experience is your biggest asset ! Andrea and her gardening knowledge and farming backgrounds… We moved here to our present home with the saying if we do not do it now we never will ! What with Brexit, Covid etc … we are glad we did ! You are a pleasure to watch and I have watched the building side of things quite useful! I envy how soo early you plant things in the ground from seed… Only just put my babies in the cold frame and shed … weekend coming up so pizza for you both enjoy ! Keep smiling guys as you are both looking very happy with your achievements ! So you should be! See you next week!
Good for you guys! I also was fortunate to retire early at 51 years old and moved to Phuket, Thailand and have been here 6 years now. Love your channel and keep up the great videos....
I recognized you from one of Cindy's videos, and now you got a new follower. Just saw your entire video of Q&A and I'm glad to know more about your move into Portugal. I hope we can meet someday as I'm also looking forward to buy a land in central Portugal. Big thumbs up!
Great Q and A! I live a 2 hour drive from Vegas, never thought of getting married there though. Also, I am so happy you were able to retire and live your dream in Portugal! My husband and I waited too long. He retired and one year later had a stoke. We have plenty of money but our dreams of traveling were dashed. I live vicariously through UA-cam videos like yours now!

Very good live, congratulations on your finding home. Your both so honest and forthright, thanks for sharing your journey. I’m sure it won’t be long before your numbers will be huge. Not sure if you are interested but I watched a YT channel that made there own castle soap, with olive oil! So easy too. It might save you some money. All the best xx
Hi Andrea an nick .you mentioned not being flexible when putting socks on.i am 70 yrs I use a plastic mold called a sock slider .makes it very easy .place sock on slider then push foot into slider then you have sock on foot.all the best to you both from new Zealand.
Nick and Andrea ..that Q and A was great...you answered all the questions I had in my mind. You are living the dream..with an utterly realistic approach to life in a new land. Many of your experience are similar to mine, even using a wacker instead of a mower...because of stones 🤣. But I still reckon Devon Clotted Cream ..is better than Cornish😉🍦 Greetings from Jamaica 🧡🇯🇲
Nice video! I love the area where you live. I have a house and family farm nearby (Alcains). I love to spend a few days there when I'm Portugal for vacations. Regards from Angola 🇦🇴
Very much enjoyed your chats about your endeavors and great tips on moving to Portugal. I’ve been planning to move a married couple over and help them search for a home, but the wife’s husband is in hospice, now. She is still wanting to move to Portugal. I was in construction most of my life and can help her with reconstruction of a home. I’m hoping to buy a Quinta, nearby and reconstruct an ancient ruin. I was around construction dust for many years and suffer some of your symptoms. I also had double pneumonia when I was 5 years. I even grew up in my family Judo Dojo. We have an uncanny similarity! I grew up in a huge community of Portuguese friends in my California hometown. I grew up on a farm. My family goes very far back in generations of farming. My Sicilian grandfather helped his childhood friend build the historic Fresno Underground Gardens. I’ve always loved my grandfather’s huge garden and as a child always dreamed of having my own farm. I’m planning to build a modern version of the Fresno Underground Gardens in Central Portugal, with a vertical growing wall and an indoor aquaculture pond. I’m hoping to buy just the right type of landscape that can support the earthen excavation of a south-facing hillside and an ancient ruin, just above, that I can connect a ventilation duct from the greenhouse, for heating and cooling. I have been in green technology construction and can build a geothermal system for heating and cooling the greenhouse and ruin. It might sound complicated but it’s all very straightforward and not all that great of a task. I’ve worked on commercial solar projects, throughout my career and want to build a large solar thermal water heater for a greenhouse radiant heating system and also for the ruin’s in-floor heating. I also have designed a commercial solar dehydrator for drying all types of fruit, nuts and veggies. I’m also toying around with building a solar smoker oven that I can process the greenhouse pond fish. Please forgive for carrying on, but I can relate to you Nick and have learned a lot from your videos.. Thanks for your series of videos and congratulations on the 10K milestone achievement! Cheers! Giovanni
Beautiful video of your lives! Thank you dearly for answering my questions! I knew in my heart it Was vegas you married ! Such a fun place to visit a bit! But like you both my heart is looking for a quiet down to earth place for retirement, with land and wildlife, and restful seculsion. So I get to live it through your videos! Blessed be!
Sounds like the chapel you got wed in Las Vegas is the same place my niece got wed ,,wee where there elvis was there wee stayed in treasure island it was great ,, did the full works on the strip ,, sometimes it’s just got to be done
Great stuff guys loved the Q&A. Nik you need to do some research on the local herbs for your chest we have stuff here in SA that works like a charm. Plus you have the best stuff there for your chest. Morning noon and nite. Honey. 👌👌👌
Thanks for answering all my questions. I really appreciate it, especially the quiche one! I didn't realize your quiche had sweet corn in with the broccoli! I made quiche this morning and added sweet corn. It was amazing!! Thank you again.
Great video guys very informative looking to get over there in a couple of years to retire when i finally do get over will bring you a massive box of T bags from the UK :)
Nice guys…keep it coming. Funny, i was born not too far from you ( Cantanhede) ..been back many times…but it is tough to leave everything and go back…..even if i can afford it.
Enjoyed this video. Got a little insight in your lives and respect your openess. Yes Central Portugal is a great place to be. Keep on going the interesting videos, at least some positive news in this world on this moment how it can be.
Grow some mullein and dry the leaves first Yr for tea clears mucus good for many breathing problems and 2nd Yr pick and dry the flowers put in oil for 6-8 weeks in dark place shake daily strain then use for ear infection ❤😊
@@projectportugal you won't be disappointed and you'll have less doctors visits and less pharmaceuticals, there is a plant that can help with most things, I grow all my own medicinals and make balms for skin issues, I no longer use doctors or vet's e. g DMSO healed my friends dog's cancer and my own dog has healed.
Great Q&A guys!!!. Lovely to hear a bit more about your life goals & the ones already accomplished. You're an awesome couple & team. Thanks for sharing💖🌺💖
Thankyou for the Q&A last night we really enjoyed it. We are looking to do the same as you for me the same reasons as Ang exactly 💔and being able to retire in early 50s instead of late 60s..We stay near you in Vale de Prazeres when we visited last and this time too and stopped in your village a few times ..very beautiful. we know now why we liked it as we must have expensive taste🤣. My Harry said just from the way you move Nick he thought you might have done martial arts as he is a black belt too....loved the video guys...xxx lots of love ❤
Congrats on reaching the 10k subs, been following since the start & love your sense of humour & how well you work together, great Q&A and keep up the great work, Pete
I have been following many of you "tubers" in Central Portugal. Is this an unusual phenomena? I am interested in retiring in Italy with my dual citizenship but you all have made Portugal so very tempting! I am interested in DIY construction but would not attempt a project alone and at my age. Currently, I have a few properties in the U.S. I must put in order before finding another place to retire.
Thanks, Nick and Ange, this was sooo nice. And i really enjoyed your taking us around to different spots on your property. Your place is is so lovely, esp that view of where granite and woodland meet. Love your outlook of and priorities in life, and it's great that Dad Melvin is thinking about possibly relocating. Srsly, Ange, you do look younger & happier no longer in constant pain. I think Silver is the new black 😎. L'd OL at your settling in "posh" CP 😄. I don't think of different Yt channels as competitors at all. I've just been enjoying everyone's journeys and been delighted as you've come to connect with one another and become friends despite the vastness of CP. Yes, DestinoPortugal and Penzance to Portugal are from Cornwall and are now in Coimbra district like Indigo Escape and Our off grid Quinta. Tho you may not have met yet, i think you're fairly close to FarmerForFun/the Marsh family, minutes from Fundão city limits. Thank you, again. You're a joy to hang out with.
Missed live - but great to hear more of your story - i via yer vids kinda clicked with you both first time a saw you - kinda people id be happy to be in the company with 👍👍
Very informative, thank you. All you guys in Central Portugal are inspiring me to jump ship and do the same. Life is too short not to. I lived in Spain for a long time before coming back to the UK. I am really up for a new adventure now. Great video as always, all the best!
Hi Nick and Ang, Great Video was a good help to know these things! We are looking into buying property over in central Portugal. We live in Wiltshire and will be over at end of June for 2 weeks looking at property. Did I hear you right in saying that you have worked down the Falklands ? I happend to have been involved in the Falklands war as the ship i was working on at the time was taken over by the mod. My mother was and my husband are from St Helena Island in the SAO and alot of the saints as they like to be called work and live on the Falklands. We will be travelling round quite a bit whilst we are there ! may even get to bump into you guys, I will have to bring some sweets and tea bags over with me ! any particular ones you like ? Cant wait to get back to the sunshine.. Jackie and Cyril Wade :)
Hi guyz! Great vid! Stay safe and well. Speaking about lung disease, are filter masks hard to come by? I ordered a bunch of N95' with a valve from Amazon Canada for Covid and playing in the garage. I see some people cutting stone, and cleaning out really derelict old homes, etc. Exposures to dust mold, dried mouse poop without wearing a mask can't be good. 🙂❤👍👍👍👍
Right? i outgrew childhood asthma only to get it again my mid 40s after exposure to hidden black mold in apt i lived in. So i get all 😬 everytime i notice our favorite CP youtubers unmasked in dust, smoke, mold, mite or bird or rodent poop -- any of those can damage lung function 🥺.
Hey Nick and Andrea, regarding learning portugeese do you know that there are free classes (paied by portugeese government and EU) and that there is a school that does those courses in Fundao?
Love you both, as they say a change is good as a rest. You both have done the right thing and will have quality of life. I'm seriously contemplating retiring to portugal, I've done some research and learning Portuguese. I will be renting out my house in the midlands, just to bring a little extra income. Can I employ you to do work if I buy something that requires a small updating job. I'm looking at rugged but not a derilict property, more traditional I've seen your work and it's amazing. I will bring a million teabags and a suitcase of sweets.🙂❤
Great to get to know you some more on a more personal level! What I've noticed right away when I stumbled upon your channel was that you are both so down to earth, practical and funny people. I really enjoy that. Lovely video 💕
hi I'm from the UK have lived in Penzance had to look Portugal but ended up in Thailand been here 25 years now 80 best thing i ever did
Would you ever be able to tell Max's story? Time does heal. I have a semi feral Chihuahua that came to me at 18mos and was considered untouchable.

But like you both my heart is looking for a quiet down to earth place for retirement, with land and wildlife, and restful seculsion. So I get to live it through your videos! Blessed be!
I hope you got to see some of the beautiful parts of the USA, like here on the East coast in the Georgia mountains where I live. 😁
Thank you for sharing your beautiful life. It’s nice to see how and why you chose to live in Portugal.
Sounds like the chapel you got wed in Las Vegas is the same place my niece got wed ,,wee where there elvis was there wee stayed in treasure island it was great ,, did the full works on the strip ,, sometimes it’s just got to be done
Hi there! Just had to tell you two how much I enjoyed your Q & A. I so enjoy watching your UA-cam channel. Best wishes.
Well done to you both you are a pleasure to watch on your blogs, keep them coming good luck and stay safe and well ❤ 👍
Our daughter is Andrea and her nickname has always been Ange too! It also is angel in French (her dad's ancestry is French Canadian).
Always enjoy your video's, I think you two are great!
I live in France and the Indian shops here sell large bags of PG Tips... so check out your nearest Indian shop.
That is the coolest tip ever! 😊
What a great spot you have!
What a great play on words! Re-addressing the nesting box situation 😆
Great stuff guys loved the Q&A. Nik you need to do some research on the local herbs for your chest we have stuff here in SA that works like a charm. Plus you have the best stuff there for your chest. Morning noon and nite. Honey. 👌👌👌
Thanks for that, just lovely to follow the chat. 🇦🇺😘
Onwards and upwards really enjoyed hearing your journey to living in Portugal
Thanks for answering all my questions. I really appreciate it, especially the quiche one! I didn't realize your quiche had sweet corn in with the broccoli! I made quiche this morning and added sweet corn. It was amazing!! Thank you again.
you rock, please keep sharing.
I always take my own tea and coffee wherever I travel. Its just not the same elsewhere.
That was fun...you did a great job!!!
Hey beautiful people!
I admire your journey!
Namasté

Thank you, Andrea and Nick, for the Q&A. It was good to get to know you better.
Congratulations on your 10,000 well deserved. Great Q&A it brings together so many aspects of your lives and positivity towards life and the future 😀

Great Q&A! Thank you!
Great job guys,I feel like I know you 2 better!
Enjoyed this video. Got a little insight in your lives and respect your openess. Yes Central Portugal is a great place to be. Keep on going the interesting videos, at least some positive news in this world on this moment how it can be.

On it
@@projectportugal you won't be disappointed and you'll have less doctors visits and less pharmaceuticals, there is a plant that can help with most things, I grow all my own medicinals and make balms for skin issues, I no longer use doctors or vet's e. g DMSO healed my friends dog's cancer and my own dog has healed.
Great Q&A guys!!!. Lovely to hear a bit more about your life goals & the ones already accomplished. You're an awesome couple & team. Thanks for sharing💖🌺💖
Great q and a good day to u both

🌻👍🌼👍🤟🙏
Frankie off grid, is 24 min away on the toll road, 32 if you dont take the toll road. 😮
Thankyou for the Q&A last night we really enjoyed it. We are looking to do the same as you for me the same reasons as Ang exactly 💔and being able to retire in early 50s instead of late 60s..We stay near you in Vale de Prazeres when we visited last and this time too and stopped in your village a few times ..very beautiful. we know now why we liked it as we must have expensive taste🤣. My Harry said just from the way you move Nick he thought you might have done martial arts as he is a black belt too....loved the video guys...xxx lots of love ❤
Really enjoyed this guys, thank you 🤩
You are such a lovely couple 💑
Congrats on reaching the 10k subs, been following since the start & love your sense of humour & how well you work together, great Q&A and keep up the great work, Pete
I have been following many of you "tubers" in Central Portugal. Is this an unusual phenomena? I am interested in retiring in Italy with my dual citizenship but you all have made Portugal so very tempting! I am interested in DIY construction but would not attempt a project alone and at my age. Currently, I have a few properties in the U.S. I must put in order before finding another place to retire.
Go for it
Loved this! Glad Andrea is feeling better. Saw the sneak peak of the windows in at Cindy Vine's.
Congratulations again, best UA-cam channel. Thank you
Great to hear your story. Thanks :)
Really enjoying your channel
Thanks, Nick and Ange, this was sooo nice. And i really enjoyed your taking us around to different spots on your property. Your place is is so lovely, esp that view of where granite and woodland meet. Love your outlook of and priorities in life, and it's great that Dad Melvin is thinking about possibly relocating. Srsly, Ange, you do look younger & happier no longer in constant pain. I think Silver is the new black 😎. L'd OL at your settling in "posh" CP 😄.
I don't think of different Yt channels as competitors at all. I've just been enjoying everyone's journeys and been delighted as you've come to connect with one another and become friends despite the vastness of CP. Yes, DestinoPortugal and Penzance to Portugal are from Cornwall and are now in Coimbra district like Indigo Escape and Our off grid Quinta. Tho you may not have met yet, i think you're fairly close to FarmerForFun/the Marsh family, minutes from Fundão city limits.
Thank you, again. You're a joy to hang out with.
You two are just our cup of tea. Thank you for an enjoyable vlog
Missed live - but great to hear more of your story - i via yer vids kinda clicked with you both first time a saw you - kinda people id be happy to be in the company with 👍👍
Very informative, thank you. All you guys in Central Portugal are inspiring me to jump ship and do the same. Life is too short not to. I lived in Spain for a long time before coming back to the UK. I am really up for a new adventure now. Great video as always, all the best!
Hi Nick and Ang, Great Video was a good help to know these things! We are looking into buying property over in central Portugal. We live in Wiltshire and will be over at end of June for 2 weeks looking at property. Did I hear you right in saying that you have worked down the Falklands ? I happend to have been involved in the Falklands war as the ship i was working on at the time was taken over by the mod. My mother was and my husband are from St Helena Island in the SAO and alot of the saints as they like to be called work and live on the Falklands.
We will be travelling round quite a bit whilst we are there ! may even get to bump into you guys, I will have to bring some sweets and tea bags over with me ! any particular ones you like ? Cant wait to get back to the sunshine.. Jackie and Cyril Wade :)
Be great to see you
Thanks for this Q&A session. Given us some more ideas for our future property.
Our pleasure!
Hi guyz! Great vid! Stay safe and well. Speaking about lung disease, are filter masks hard to come by? I ordered a bunch of N95' with a valve from Amazon Canada for Covid and playing in the garage. I see some people cutting stone, and cleaning out really derelict old homes, etc. Exposures to dust mold, dried mouse poop without wearing a mask can't be good. 🙂❤👍👍👍👍
Right? i outgrew childhood asthma only to get it again my mid 40s after exposure to hidden black mold in apt i lived in. So i get all 😬 everytime i notice our favorite CP youtubers unmasked in dust, smoke, mold, mite or bird or rodent poop -- any of those can damage lung function 🥺.
You have a good spot!
That was fun!
Nice to know you better!

Hey Nick and Andrea, regarding learning portugeese do you know that there are free classes (paied by portugeese government and EU) and that there is a school that does those courses in Fundao?
Great video as always and very informative.
We have a house to rent in this area, Figueiro dos Vinhos. From 300 a month. Modern and comfortable in the historic district.
Love you both, as they say a change is good as a rest. You both have done the right thing and will have quality of life. I'm seriously contemplating retiring to portugal, I've done some research and learning Portuguese. I will be renting out my house in the midlands, just to bring a little extra income.
Can I employ you to do work if I buy something that requires a small updating job. I'm looking at rugged but not a derilict property, more traditional I've seen your work and it's amazing. I will bring a million teabags and a suitcase of sweets.🙂❤
Maybe for teabags🤣🤣
We love you guys, thanks for doing the Q&A, it was really fun! ❤️
Hei guys well done .
I love when you cook to us Angie 😊ok, both of you .🤗
All the best for you two
☀️Ana from Norway
