Living in Portugal Got BORING

[@morgan97475]

"You don't find a happy life, you make a happy life.". Well said. Such a lovely lady.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

We love that you grabbed this quote, Morgan! - Josh & Kalie

[@larrylee7682]

What a beautiful woman and I’m not just talking about the external. Her energy, her philosophies, her obvious commitment to good health, her determination, and more, are all inspiring 😊 Much love to you Jackie, as you live out your dream.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thank you very much for the comment, Larry! - Josh & Kalie

Yeh but if I were Asian I'd go to China, Thailand, Indonesia places like that where it's all happening. Europe is done and there will be millions fleeing soon.

[@danieldistrola2873]

So, I watched the whole video, (It was great) but didn't understand the title of it. She only mentions that the place where she lives can be a little boring at night. Not the country itself.

[@sophieschoices9663]

Ridiculous click-bait imo! Its very deceiving and spreads a very unfair/inaccurate image of Portugal which doesnt even reflect what the lovely lady had to say! So weird why you'd come up with that from such a positive interview!!

[@adammorra3813]

Same with me. I sub to creators that dont use clickbait titles so surprised with this one.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

We had to quickly in as few characters as possible encapsulate why she unretired. As she told us, she got bored after a year. She wanted something to do. The title isn’t meant to be clickbait but it is meant to cause curiosity and tense and imply that there is a story for you to find out about. - Josh

[@No-Handle-NO]

After watching all the chaotic news in the world, it is so nice to watch this wonderful and inspiring interview!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Aww, that's lovely feedback and very good to hear. We're stoke that you used the world inspiring. It's one of our 3 pillar for our videos. Inform, entertain, and inspire. - Josh & Kalie

[@yuzi8693]

We love Portugal ❤ my husband and I moved to Algarve in 2023. We love our current lifestyle ❤

[@macaccount4315]

I love her cafe! I didn’t even know she was an expat ❤

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

That's great. Let her know next time you see her. :-) - Josh & Kalie

[@lisakibler458]

Such a great interview. She is lovely.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Aww, thank you, Lisa - Josh & Kalie

[@tdem2724]

Great interview! I enjoyed learning about her personal journey and her business!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Glad you enjoyed it! We loved hearing her story over the past several visit to Kiwa. - Josh & Kalie

[@humanconnectionflores]

She has a beautiful mind an soul

[@CGsYTChannel]

Everyone keeps telling me I'll be bored when I retire to Portugal. It's ok, if I hate it that much, I can always get a job.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Yea, exactly. Or a more active hobby. - Josh & Kalie

[@CGsYTChannel]

@ExpatsEverywhere my plan is to make olive oil. We will still have the family farm to maintain. Also, my family has a vineyard and make wine. It's basically just on my grandma at this point and I want to continue that. So between learning how to do all that and actually doing it, I feel like that will keep me occupied enough. Plus I want to help out my village with things and be a productive member of it. I'm not too worried, I'm always getting into something!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

@@CGsYTChannel Sheesh! I'd say you'll be busy (and hopefully HAPPY). Give your village a shout out! Where are you? - Josh

[@CGsYTChannel]

@ExpatsEverywhere Agrela de Ervededo, part of Chaves. Right on the border of Spain.

[@Mr.S65]

@@CGsYTChannelFundão also a place to process your own olive oil. And of course cherries. 😊

[@JenShea]

As always, another terrific interview.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks, Jen! We appreciate the view. - Josh & Kalie

[@kepckatherinec805]

If I lived in Porto, I’d visit her lovely cafe’ every day.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

That's really nice. We hope you get to visit one day. - Josh & Kalie

[@peterz53]

Very nice discussion and guest.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thank you, Peter - Josh & Kalie

[@globalretirementus]

I’m curious, what exactly made living in Portugal boring for you? Was it the lifestyle, the people, or something else? I’ve heard so many good things about the country, so it’s interesting to hear a different perspective. Would love to know more about your experience!

[@youngspiritsinging]

This was quite interesting. This woman seemed really sincere.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks for watching. - Josh & Kalie

[@terrisokolow7796]

Great video, Kalie!

You're the best, Terri! - Josh & Kalie

[@tshandy1]

A person needs to be something more than just an entity that consumes leisure and recreation, yet I see too many people who strive for that goal.

[@Chriss-Gear]

Another excellent interview

[@milansavic2803]

Is it in Porto?

[@mydogsmells1733]

Yes, Cafe Kiwa is in Porto.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Yes, you can find the address in the description section of the video - Josh & Kalie

[@luckylousbarbershop9671]

Wow, that is so much like us

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Oh yeah?! Thanks for watching, Joe. - Josh & Kalie

[@cookmaster3626]

Great Story. How was she able to run a business under a D7 visa?. I thought D7 was only a retirement type visa with no gainful employment / business activity.

[@borngreat8962]

D7 is both passive income and entrepreneur

[@gonebananas1076]

Once you have the D7, you are free to work or open a business. No issues

[@cookmaster3626]

@@borngreat8962 -Thanks for the confirmation.

[@patriciadixon4735]

I am African American. Would it be good to relocate to there ? Also do they have VA Hospitals and care. Thanks.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Hi, welcome to the channel. Do you have Tri-Care insurance? If yes, we've had military friends tell us that it works. As far as it being good to relocate to Portugal, it's a really loaded question because we don't know enough about you to know if Portugal might fit you. If you'd like speak with Kalie, she's available for that. You can email her at [e-mail] or book a call with her at www.calendly.com/expatseverywhere - Josh & Kalie

[@AntonioVConde]

No.

[@teddydavis2339]

I find the Portuguese very pessimistic. I am so glad she followed her heart. If she's using rice flour, I hope she's advertising gluten-free. Your guest is lovely.

[@LtW00dy]

That’s because most of them can’t afford anything because of the low wages. Quite honest, the immigrants, specially Americans given their purchase power, are making life for them even harder as property prices exploded in cost, not to mention groceries and general cost of living. I’m not trying to judge anyone’s decisions or criticise the open borders, I don’t even live in Portugal (yet), buts that’s the reason. Government needs to find a way to promote active work force immigration as opposed to retirees. Lady is doing a good service by opening a cafe.

[@gonebananas1076]

It's the immigrants fault for the price increases? The immigrants move for affordable cost of living and better quality of life. Maybe blame property managers, owners and corporations for increasing prices to make more money off those who may have a bit more, kind if like legalized extortion. I bet the immigrants with a few extra bucks wouldn't mind keeping it, but greed has jacked up the prices when they see an immigrant coming.

[@antoniovazantunes8325]

It’s funny being a Portuguese in America, I find Americans over optimistic, annoyingly so.

[@philipe1502]

Imagine living in a country where American expats make 5x+ more than you, what drives prices through the roof. I'd be pessimistic as well with their salary in these conditions.

[@DamionLouisInPortugal]

Who's the roaster ?

[@JV-pd8wg]

Watch the video and you’ll find out. Lol

[@matt3024]

Some people need to grow up!

[@sophieschoices9663]

Such a ridiculous and completely inaccurate title! Completely click-baity! Thats just so dishonest when the lovely lady who was interviewed is and feels the exact opposite - she loves Portugal and is a super positive person! Reflects nothing about the video content, you should be ashamed!

[@MexicanOT-q8t]

cry a river

[@adammorra3813]

Honestly i clicked on it wondering why she would find it boring and then realized in comments later it was click bait. I dont like being duped as a subscriber

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

We were trying to capture the essence of why she un-retired and used her own words to put the two together. She moved to Portugal retired and then started working again. If you’d like to suggest a different title and thumbnail, we’re happy to listen. This isn’t easy. - Josh

[@LtW00dy]

Chill bro. Not click bait, maybe you’re the one looking for something bad about Portugal living? Been watching long enough to know what’s the video was about before even watching. 😊

[@davidleong6606]

Wow, the easily offended seem so foreign and uncharacteristic on Josh & Kalie’s awesome channel… don’t miss the big picture… This was a great connection of the new immigrant experience who has embraced Porto with an interesting insight and perspective! Muito Abrigado!!!

[@anaramos2802]

Catching people's attention with the wrong title is misleading and quite annoying.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

How would you title it, Ana? We don't feel it's misleading because a title and thumbnail are meant to go together and tell a story. A lot is covered in the interview and we feel like the title tells the story of why Jacci un-retired. - Josh

[@anaramos2802]

@@ExpatsEverywhere The title should give a clue about its content, not the opposite. This is only my opinion. Your video, your choices, Josh.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

@@anaramos2802 We know it does in-conjunction with the text on the thumbnail. Thanks for the reply, Ana. - Josh

[@tefilobraga]

Trust me: overall, life is boring, and SHOULD be boring.

[@marial5656]

Boring is only if u r boring people!

[@v.almeida7924]

@marial5656 Oh Maria, tem calma. Vai um chá? O título tem por objectivo chamar a atenção do passante, de outro modo passava ao lado. Não esquecer: You don't find a happy life, you make a happy life.

[@hanseldsouza7871]

This is a misleading title , there's nothing that states about boredom in Portugal. It's a fantastic life and she is adapted to the lifestyle

[@jacobabadi8891]

Forget Portugal. Who is this beautiful beautiful lady? Wow! I am so impressed by her tenderness and beauty!

[@jacobabadi8891]

I want to go to Portugal just to see this beautiful lady. I would look for her in all the coffee shops of Porto. Please tell her that she took my heart with her.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Aww that's very nice! You can visit her at her cafe. You don't have to look in all the coffee shops in Porto. Kiwa is the place to head. - Josh & Kalie
