Hey Seattle! We are missing the temps you are having there right now. You are about 20 degrees cooler than what we had here today. 😅 Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂👍

I have never traveled to another country and I want Portugal to be my first so I really appreciate this video

[@vistasandvibes]

@Spinner773 I'm really glad you found this video helpful. Portugal is a great choice for your first country to visit. I hope you are able to make it to Portugal soon! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🙂

Wow this awesome details. Thank you.

[@vistasandvibes]

Thanks for the feedback. 🙂 I wasn't sure if people would prefer that I just stick to videos of the sights and scenery. Glad you let me know what you think. Maybe I'll keep doing these for each destination. 🤔

@@meron7330 Thanks! And thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂

Nice budget for that area!

[@vistasandvibes]

Yeah, I was happy with how it worked out. I did book the Airbnb about 3 months in advance and that helped with getting a good rate. And we will usually stay at least 28 nights to get a monthly discount, which most Airbnb hosts offer. Thanks for checking out our video and commenting! 🙂

It seems like the monthly number is always higher than the typical "youtuber" says it's going to be. I'm sure though as one gets more acclimated, it's easier to keep within a particular number. That's a nice budget too, btw. We could do that. Good post.

[@vistasandvibes]

Yeah, when we first started looking into doing this, we saw some couples on KZbin coming in around $2,500 (or less) per month. I knew that was not realistic for our "desired comfort level". I'm hoping we can come in under $4,000 per month, but some months may be higher (in higher cost countries) and some lower (in low cost countries). I will continue to do a cost breakdown video for each destination we visit. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂

Did you bring your fire stick from the US ? And works just as well? Thank you for all the info.

[@vistasandvibes]

Yes, I brought the Amazon Fire Stick that I had been using at home in the US and it has worked fine for me in Portugal and Spain. I do have a VPN installed on the Fire Stick so that it thinks I'm still in the US. I use NordVPN. So far, so good. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂

[@CoreyLewis-guitars]

Did you use the pool at your AirBnb

[@vistasandvibes]

We didn't, but quite a few of the other tenants used it. We were usually out and about getting in our 15,000 or so daily steps. 🚶‍♂️

[@user-ww3sl8qt2u]

Did you get a monthly rental Airbnb? The price you paid seems quite reasonable, so I’m wondering what time of year it was and if you got a discount because you stayed a month. Thanks

[@vistasandvibes]

@user-ww3sl8qt2u Yes, we got a monthly Airbnb rental and we stayed there mid-May to mid-June 2024. We booked about 3 months in advance. Rates definitely go up in the summer, so best to book early if planning on being there in Summer. If you book an Airbnb for 28 days or more, you often get a significant discount, but the amount of the discount is up to each host. This is part of the reason we will be doing "slow travel" - so we can take advantage of these monthly discounts. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂
