I'm >n Africa how do I relocate to Ireland help please.

Great video! As a dual US/EU citizen, I assume I can just settle in if I go there to stay long term? (adequate funds accompanying me) Even speak a little German.

Cork is very beautiful and cool but you can't get accommodation ❤

I am hoping to move to Toulouse! I’m looking for an area where I can find a small house with a garden that’s still within walking distance to things. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you're happy just keep it to your self, Portugal is small we don't want it crowded .

Expensive? Hehe, try living in a country with a bad economy. These prices look like heaven to me when you compare what you gain to the losses.

Sales tax is now just 4% not 0% any more. Often shopping is marked up higher so while prices might be similar to Barcelona sometimes price on some goods can be negotiated.

I'm not going to disagree that the city doesn't have a drink issue but that's most cities in the UK to be frank. For kids in restaurants that really depends on where you go as some are obviously more family friendly than others. Crime has been an issue here. There is no denying it but to be frank, it's better than it used to be 😅 It's my home and I'm staying here!

5:13 You need to learn to speak French. Full stop. If you’re staying beyond a few years and you’re under 65, you won’t be able to stay without learning it to a pretty good level. (I’ve been here two years of a four-year visa, so I have a couple more years before I renew it, but I’ll have to have A2 down by then - and B2 well enough to pass a verbal interview if I want citizenship later on!) (At 12:03 you mention that it’s B1, but the law was just changed recently and it is changing to B2 in January of 2026.)

4:37 Tax brackets work just like they do in the US. You pay the top rate on the portion of your income within that bracket, not on your entire income. Also a VERY important factor for Americans is the tax treaty: your social security income and your pension income will both be tax-free.

2:22 Paris intramuros is pricey. Go outside the walls and it’s a different story.

1:21 It’s debatable whether fully remote work is allowed under the VLS-TS. I’ve heard both sides. Technically the might find it hard to track your ‘outside’ income down, but that doesn’t make it legal per se. It would be great to have some kind of expert come on and talk about this, as it’s something that people often want to know.

Please please please stop saying “would you expat that”. I know it’s kind of your catch phrase but please find a new one. Humans may expatriate, but a lot of them don’t do it optionally for a lark, many do it just to survive - even your fellow Americans. “Would you like to live there long-term?” is a perfectly fine question, and I’m glad you ask it of one another, but “expat that” is just … icky.

15:10 Just be aware, if you’re under 65 and especially if you’re hoping to work, and stay longer than a year on a carte de séjour pluriannuelle, you must learn French. A2 is the minimum required level now, even to renew your multi-year visa, and citizenship (which you can apply for after five years) requires B2, while the 10-year “permanent” residency card now requires B1. So be ready to bust out the “bonjour”! (You need it anyway just to function in a polite way. Hope you practiced that while you were in France!)

I loved Toulouse. It felt multicultural all different peoples together. Loved Victor Hugo market. It was very walkable and I actually rode one of the bike rentals. I would totally expat that!

UK has a surface of 244, 355 sq km por tugas has 92,000 square km surface Portugal hasn't one third of England

Spent a lot of time in Monaco 10 years ago, got to know some Monegastes and would live there in a minute. The stuff on the surface is just that, on the surface.

As a French man I've worked in NYC a lot and at the beginning found New Yorkers 'abrasive' but once you get to know the place and the people, they're actually welcoming. Loved it. Paris is similar. Once you get to know the place and the people, Paris is cool and the people pretty welcoming. I'm in the 3rd arrondissement. And I have a place in Texas and also like Texans a lot. Love your videos and how you pair up... good vibes between you two.

We were only in Toulouse for a day, but made a pretty comprehensive walking tour of downtown. We found it somewhat shabby, with lots of empty stores and lots of homeless people. We much preferred Bordeaux! And for a smaller city within easy reach of Paris, we also loved Dijon.

Lexington café had the best coffee i ever had

Wow, so much misinformation, I guess you just visited Toulouse, you don't live there???? Toulouse has become a hot spot for crime. It is difficult to feel safe when returning home at night. Assaults are frequent, and too many public spaces are abandoned to drug trafficking.

Second cities are the best!

Mmm, I don't know. How can you take a city and its region seriously when they call a pain au chocolat a chocolatine ...

From these clips Toulouse doesn't look like a French city. It looks more like a city in New England, Upstate New York or Ontario to my eye.

I Love Toulouse! And the birthplace of cassoulet, Castelnaudary, will be my first launching pad from which to find long term housing. Thanks you for showcasing Toulouse and the area! I fell in love with it on a two-week Tour de France trip in 2012 - and now the area will soon be my home.

Moving there from Seattle in a few weeks myself.

The plane/airline is called "Beluga" which is after the Beluga Whale....super cute.

You can't just film everyone and post online in France. Peoples privacy is protected especially children.

Surprised you didn’t mention the tapas scene in Toulouse, the result of its historical connections with Spain, particularly Barcelona from where thousands fled the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s and ended up in Toulouse in the St. Cyprien district.

I’ve been on to Toulouse for some time now. I like what I know about it. Sara and I will be scouting Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Montpellier in May. Bordeaux is probably more Sara’s vibe, Toulouse mine. So, we’ll likely end up in Bordeaux. Happy wife, happy life. Sounds similar to your split on expatting Toulouse. Kalie would probably like Bordeaux more although Toulouse has the reputation of being chiller and friendlier (people in Toulouse tend to think the Bordelais are snobby, kinda like Parisians. It’s all relative.)

Dont forget that in addition to all of this Toulouse is the world capital of space and aeronautics has been the awarded no1 town in the world to visit according to "Best in Travel " and best rugby club in the world .

Great video. I'm considering moving to France and Toulouse is a top contender. Have you guys been to Nantes? I've heard it's got great transportation infrastructure, pedestrian friendly...

I'd love to see your take on Brittany and Normandy, too!

Are there Jobs opportunities in Toulouse?

Toulouse the pink city of France...

We're moving to Toulouse from California in 2 weeks so your video is quite timely! We've not been there before so this was very helpful. Merci!

Come visit Pau. I think you'll like it.

Toulouse and Lyon are two of my favourite cities in the whole of France, and the Langue d’Oc region feels very homey to me.

We would 100% live there! We LOVED Toulouse! But really hope others don't discover it 😜🤣😎 Re sports, we stumbled across a Cricket team practicing in one of the parks. Thought that was pretty cool!

All those transport notes you said are pretty wrong Firstly, bus service in Cork is absolutely tragic... i dont think any bus I've ever caught in cork wasn't stupidly late and stupidly slow Cycling outside the city centre is almost non-existent because there is almost no cycling infrastructure at all outside the city centre As for railway, intercity is fine but it's really not that well connected by rail considering its the 2nd largest city in Ireland and only has one intercity corridor with... one intercity line to Dublin Suburban rail services are good... if you're in a very specific part of the city... it only serves the far east... thats it... everywhere else in Cork has no railways at all

Can you guys make a video going to Chengdu, China, that would make an entertaining video, you guys just stay in Europe!

I would love to learn more about Cork Ireland could you please send me more information

Great video-you covered most things, including city construction. Greater Manchester, though, is the metro area, with a population of 3 million. All the best. Mark

Good video, thanks!

PAELLA as an example of basque cuisine?? Really?? 😂😂😂

Update! Retirees aquiring the D7 visa will now have their pensions taxed, UK basic state pension will be taxed a whopping 22%. I could comment on this but I don,t want to be rude.

Video contradictorio y sin ninguna base se nota que no os habeis informado bien y hay muchos datos erroneos en vuestro video y no os habeis esforzado en hacer un video mediocre si quereis iros a vivir a barcelona mejor para que os timen con el piso la comida y tambien os roben que eso parece que os gusta y dejais zaragoza en paz guiris.

Everyone whom is rich is not snobby, and I am sure they do not care what you think. Your comment was very snobby itself. Who are you to judge. That had nothing to do with your content about the area. I am sorry, but your attitude just showed at11:33. Do Better.

Monaco Never

Once I heard diversity I thought criminals .
