I’ve lived in Portugal for 35 years and I found it incredible that I got a family doctor before my Portuguese partner. Once in the system, setting up appointments is much easier but still the wait time can be weeks. Fortunately, all prescriptions are digital. I’ve just retired on a Portuguese pension and money is very tight. I am still better off than most pensioners. Natalie I think it’s very useful to share these realities. After all this time my Portuguese is hilarious.

When women become mothers their identity stalls while they turn into multitaskers to raise and protect their children. It can be difficult to return to being yourself after being absent as your individual self while so busy raising a family. Becoming and being a parent should be part of the education system by those who live it...pros and cons 😊

@@liveyourbestlifeover50 i agree... you really need to remain a best friends couple and keep time to also grow that relationship seperate while raising kids... it is THE hardest job in the world... people go into parenthood blind...no rule books... nowadays i think people should spend longer times just being a best friend couple for more years travelling and adventuring together and maybe have 1-2 kids age 33 - 38 as the costs - school seasons and general busy life with kids takes a toll on any couple but especially younger ones.. budgets and school life limits how much you can travel....always exceptions but you know what i mean in general... i have 3 grown up daughters and 1 teen still at home...ive told them all not to have kids young and they all agree why as i explained above and they listen thank god...they are happy 🫠

I think you may be limiting your target audience by your channel name...how many women at 50 plus are going to move to Portugal. Perhaps lose the age part as its just a number and focus on the actual living in Portugal...daily life...whats where... cover all areas of Portugal and the differences especially cost of living and climate etc etc... to gain traction you prob need to lose the age factor. Talking to the screen is less enticing than walking and talking and showing outdoors ...best of luck ❤

@@user-tm2vc6fj8q that’s that’s not really true. There’s a Facebook group woman over 50 moving to Portugal with over 14 k members. and yes, of course more active videos are better which I do as well. Just wasn’t out and about as much and had dark to do as I don’t have a car. It’s hard to show other places in Portugal. I will do. I actually abort a birthday one as I’m going to be outside tomorrow and probably also go to the coast by the end of the month so there will be videos from there as well. There is a whole bunch on my channel already watch at least around Central Portugal and some of the coast. I haven’t covered the Algarve or the north as I haven’t got the time or finances to got here. I do have videos on this channel talking about the costs and the problems living in Portugal.

I like your content and your personality. Traveling is something that I do not do much of so watching channels like yours help me to explore the world. You did a video where you were painting, that was nice to watch. I mainly watch videos pertaining to mix media art. I am not an artist but I love watching individuals take a blank canvas and create beautiful images. Maybe you can do a collab with another content creator who draws and paint. The two of you can come up with a theme such as painting a scenery from the country/area where you both live. Simple everyday cooking is also welcome. One thing that I like to do when I get behind on watching videos from my favorite content creators is to take a day when I am not so busy and devote myself to watching that person’s video. I am glad that I saw this video because now I get a chance to catch up on your other videos. It might take me all day because I am with my family helping out but I will take time to watch🙂💜.

I moved to Portugal six years ago and love living here. I find the Portuguese people to be friendly and helpful, and I have never seen even one example of ant-social behaviour here. It is as different from the UK as chalk is from cheese. That said, you are spot on about the frustrations caused by accessing the local health center and the bureaucracy here. To other single's over 50/60, you should also be aware that despite their general day-to-day friendliness, it can be difficult to make friendships here. I know a few people, but I spend far more of my time doing things on my own than I had envisaged. Nevertheless, I wouldn't swop living here for anywhere else.
