Hi Brian and Carrie. Really enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing. Last year year did Europe by train. Did 13 countries, 33 cities and 66 trains in the span of 3 months. Whirlwind to say the least. LOL. Next year my wife retires and we are looking at slowing things down. We have not decided if we want to do 3 months in 1 location or two locations for a month and a half each or 3 locations with 1 month in each location. We are looking at Jan 1 to March 30, Would you be able to share the AirBnB places you stayed in for Portugal? Specifically Lagos and mone Gordo. While traveling the 33 cities, we had some great locations and some not so great places so doing research ahead of time would be helpful. We look forward to viewing more of your videos. Thanks for your help.

95 M's!! I would skip Faro altogether and do Lagos for a couple days then head to Tavira for a day and Vila Real before heading to Seville. You need a couple days in Seville, it is amazing! If you cant do Lagos you'll survive. It would be easy to fly to Faro and head east, you would miss the cool beaches that the western part of the Algarve has but the east is pretty nice as well. Porto is worth visiting as well...just to complicate your trip...😀 🍻

Sorry just came across this video. If you stay there for 2 months is there a transit system to visit other areas and to Lisbon. Do not want to rent a car. Thanks

Yes. There is a bus from Lagos to Lisbon. There is also the train, but you will have to transfer trains in Tunes. And don't forget that you can fly from Faro to Lisbon on Ryan Air for really cheap. 3 years ago we flew from Porto to Faro for $28 and took the train back to Lisbon for less than that. No, need to rent a car. Thank you for watching and safe travels. Cheers!!!🍻

Lagos looks lovely, and the area around the marina reminded me a bit of Alicante. I could see why renting a kayak would be fun as you could access coves and beaches that you could not get to any other way. I look forward to your costs video to see how prices compare to Spain. I told my friend about Croatia as a place to visit to adhere to the Schengen rules, and he agreed and said he would spend some time in Split next winter.

Lagos and Alicante are very comparable for sure. Croatia should be nice and mild in the winter. We will be there in September and October before heading home for the holidays. We should get nice sunny skies while we are there. Thanks again for the support. Cheers!!!🍻

Love seeing the sites around Lagos. I miss that place so much. Thanks! Looks like I got the green light to cut down our departure date from the original plan of about 3 years from now to about half that time. I better start getting busy with all the downsizing, research, and other prep work! 😲 You two definitely get an assist in the box score for nudging us out the door and over to your neck of the woods sooner than originally planned. Thanks for the motivation! Love what you two are doing. And you know what I'm going to say next . . . keep 'em coming! 🙂 Cheers! 🍻

Hi Brian and Carrie- Do you have a residency in any of these European places or you just visit them as they come along your travel plans? We are trying to decide if we should AirBnB without applying for a residency anywhere... Do you have a permanent Place in Europe? Which one would be your favorite to finally settle in after so much exploring? thank you so much for the Great videos, 🍻

Hi Michael. We do not have residency in Europe. We only get 90 days in the Schengen area so we have to leave for 90 days before re-entering. We are loving Portugal and have explored the different options on how to get residency here (we are going to do a video about this) but we have too many other places to see before we decide to stop traveling for any long period.
