Living in big city lk New york, Kuala lumpur, Tokyo, Homgkong is so stressful so yea i also prefer living in the nature village with beautiful greens....

This was nonsense.

Since there are no answers to the questions in the comments, and the minimum wage requirements have changed, I'm guessing that this is an old video and Tuula herself did not post it. It's probably a generic video from International Living.

Im very happy living in an expat community, I dont hang woth locals .😅😅😅 Locals are super nice and friendly btw 😊😊😊 .

How did I miss this? This is so amazing!! Love your yoga studio!😍. Congratulations Amiga!! 🎉🎉🎉

What an insightful video. My husband and I were looking for a place to retire in Southeast Asia but watching this has really sped up our plans. Who wants to live in the cols and wet when options like this are available. Thank you so much. Thank you IL.

Agreed, things are looking bad here and I understand why people, especially people with children, want to leave. Children in Europe don't die from gun shot wounds while they are sitting in their classrooms. They can read what they want, librarians are not arrested. Abortion is still a thorny subject, but it is legal. But, do these Americans understand the reality of living in another country? Do they believe they will be welcomed with opened arms? In many cases they will be seen as privileged, rich Americans. Americans are notoriously naive about anything outside their borders. Do these people have the necessary language skills? This is a make or break consideration for anyone planning to live in another country. The political reality? Any country can fall at any time. One only has to study history to know that a safe place can quickly go up in smoke. Yes, Europeans who came to the U.S. to escape hitler were smart. And lucky. But Europe is rife with racism, political discord, etc. France could see Le Pen win in the next election. Hungary is ruled by a dictator. Romania's president has expressed strong doubts about Europe's future. The bureaucracy in many European, and other countries, is enough to try the patience of a saint. Much to consider. When the poo hits the fan, the "outsiders" are the first to be blamed. History doesn't lie. Oh, and be careful of the expats who tell you they would never move back. Nothing is as it seems and you will, you absolutely will, have regrets. No place is perfect.

Listening this from Denver and seeing happy people from Colorado who have moved out of the states!

Budgets quoted are always higher than what people who realistically lived on less in the States are so common. I'm not leaving because I want to live as "comfortably" as a well off person does in the U.S. hanging out over trendy cocktails and getting $50 haircuts. I want a petite cottage, small garden, a bicycle, a farmer's market, enough quiet to finish my book and plenty of countryside with occasional trips to the city on the train. That's not going to cost some thousands a month.

Come live in São João de Ver, it's cheaper(an 3 room apartment is 140k euros) and is 20 minutes from Oporto!

An American paying taxes in Portugal, we should give you more rights than those Portuguese companies who pay taxes in Holland! Welcome!

As long as you respect the land and people welcome if you think you can come to and bring your shit attitude and hate get lost

Ty Terry!!

Wow. Thank you. (no stress, just living your best life).

Nice video, the piano put an end for it for me. 😆

Cant hear you. Did you listen this video yourself?

So if my husband gets transferred with his job, what type of visa do my kids and I get? Is it the long stay visa?

A big bear on the river in Porto is over 5 euro! Yes, small restaurants are cheap, but all restaurants near the river are expensive. Some parts of porto are really expensive.

How is humidity and mold there? When i was there in Portugal, even in Lisbon, mold is a problem.

It's depend on someone life style , if you're live like local here just like me i only spent 5 - 6 USD a day for meal , 200 - 300 USD a month for a good room ( it's called kost elite room ) , but just enjoy your vacation..

Great channel.

Great Yarmouth with sun. If you hate the above do not move there, if you do love above move there.

With Fascism on the rise and 50% of the American people in a Cult it's time to seriously consider moving out of this country for good. America has lost it's way and been lowered down a few notches now. It will take years if not decades to repair the damage that's been done to this country by Trump and his enablers.

Interesting chat with inspiring personal experiences. Thanks for sharing! 💓

Why on earth would want a heating system in the Algarve

Thanks for the video... I found it very very useful, It gave a me kind of a real vision of the city by an experienced person :) lokking forward to go there! Do you still live there?

Very informative. Clarifies many questions. Great to hear perspectives of these individuals. Thanks

The streets of San Miguel de Allende aren't "art-filled". They're "tourist-filled".

Fabulous. Good for you …😊women power 💪🏻

Omg!! I want to move there right now!! Love the video!! 💃💃💃

Impressive!!!!

Had Europe been a pure white continent I would loved to settle down. But I am fine in US as Europe is worse than USA

lol, you "can't" work on a non lucrative visa, as far as I understand, at least on the italian one

One suggestion I have heard: a few-week visit is a vacation. Before moving somewhere, rent for a year and see what it's really like day-to-day.

It's both interesting and predictable that no African Americans were interviewed even though African Americans have a long history of leaving the USA dating back to its inception.

These people are all in Europe. They may want to rethink their locations and consider somewhere else further away. Now that Trump's in office there could very well be civil unrest or even outright war in Europe. They should all check into this and perhaps reconsider their location and choose a safer place to live.

Yea I’m heading as English teacher there.

Excellent discusssion

Is lake chappala having water issues

Your video is so concise and makes this process seem quite reasonable. I am a visual artist and have been creating paintings and drawings based on my travels in France for the last 3 years. I sell that work in the U.S. Would a Talent Visa be a good idea for me? What if I wanted to sell my work in France? Thank you very much for any advise you have on this.

I've always dreamt of this but never expressed it to my wife. today she came to me with it on her own. might be game on.

We are planning to move to France & are looking at Toulon because it is near my French sister-in-law’s village & we prefer city life in retirement. Are there neighborhoods you recommend for both price, accessibility if we choose to live without a car & safety?

Is there a service where you can work with someone directly on the process of living in Spain? It is overwhelming. Ideally I would like to move there now but I am not at retirement age just yet. I am 56 so I have minimally 6 years, ideally 11 years before I retire.

11:02 pm in Tucson . How to get health insurance as a retired expat from USA?

Where are the other people?

Really want to go! Even for 3-6 months to get a feel for making a change. How did you get started - looking for a place, for example?
