I'm in Toronto Canada and my wife and I are both from Portugal. I'm from the Azores and she's from just north of Porto in Povoa De Verzim. We have been considering moving to Portugal for the lifestyle and tranquility. Watching your videos has been a great help to us in getting a better understanding of what to expect. You guys are awesome!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Woah, now this is wild! You all are from here but living in Canada and watching our stuff to help know what to expect moving back?! It's hard to wrap our heads around that but it's incredibly humbling. Thanks for the support and public sub! 🙏 🥰 - Josh & Kalie

Hi, just to clarify...My comment about Louisa being on the show tomorrow looks like it's actually Louise Ross; not Carl's wife!! I often misunderstand his accent! For example, when he says tomorrow I think he says Tamara!!! LOL Good night

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Hey, haha that's funny. Carl and his accent! 😅No problem, we keep Louisa and get her back on at some point. 😁Good night. Thanks for joining in tonight. - Josh & Kalie

Hello, thanks for another vlog, and one of my questions is: do you think you will live long term in Portugal? As I said, I am planning on moving to Portugal. One of the realtors suggested Espinho as potential place in the Silver Coast. Homes are supposed to be medium-prized, and it is only 15 minutes to Porto by train and has a hospital in town? Do you know anything about the town?. I wonder if you can do some vlog about homes about 10-20 minutes away, but with good facilities. thanks

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

You're welcome. As we talked about in the Live Q&A, we're not sure. We're not looking that far ahead. We didn't come her with the plan of living here "long term". We have two years and we'll see how we're feeling. The longest we've lived in one place was Singapore and that was 4 years. We could see being here as long, but we're 6 months in and need a good year or so to really make up our minds. Thanks for the question. Regarding Espinho and doing something about homes outside of Porto, it's definitely possible, but filming with Valencia is very challenging and filming real estate is time consuming, so we have to figure out those logistical challenges. We're not set up to do that yet. - Josh & Kalie

[@i0r-r-tjtkttl]

@@ExpatsEverywhere thank you. Have you heard about Espinho?

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Yes. At one point. we thought about going out there for a month or two in a short term rental but decided against it. - Josh & Kalie

[@christophermanning9571]

I always enjoy your videos, looking forward to getting over there very soon, thanks in big part to your D7 Visa course.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Aww, thanks Christopher. Please keep us posted. We're really happy the D7 course has been helpful. - Josh & Kalie

[@tonyglive]

Florida here guys!, quick Q: Panama vs Portugal?... ( two "Pees" in the pie)

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

What's up Florida!? Total preference thing but do you want Latin America or do you want slow paced southern Europe? Lisbon vs Panama City would be mean you're spending more in PT but if you are thinking Panama City vs Porto and the rest of PT then PT is probably cheaper. If you're comparing a small town in Panama vs a small town in Portugal, Panama is probably cheaper. Timezone difference going to be an issue staying in touch with American family? Panama is better. Ease of getting back to the US, Panama is better. Ease of traveling Europe and the rest of the world and we'd say Portugal is better. What are your thoughts, Tony? - Josh & Kalie

[@tonyglive]

Great video vlog.. keep enjoying Portugal And stay safe

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thank you! You too! - Josh & Kalie

[@joemac6172]

Keep up the good work my friends I always enjoy watching your videos somehow 🤷‍♂️ I guess because I used to live in São Miguel island in Azores which by the way maybe it will be in your bucket list for your vacation if God allows. So like I was saying I was from the Azores and my parents immigrated to USA when I was 11 years old in 1990 so it’s been along time living here in the USA and the last time I have been there visiting it was in 1997 and I do love my country my place of birth which is the Azores but it’s funny how my grandparents and parents they moved here to USA for better life and to make more money and to give us a better future. Now unfortunately USA it’s been crazy with the violence, drugs the economy it’s been down since this pandemic and now I see people moving there I know the grass it’s not always green on the other side but seeing every year Americans moving to my little Portugal it makes want to move back lol. Good luck guys and congratulations on your new journey from USA ❤️👍

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks, Joe Mac. We really enjoyed reading more about you here. Your story isn't uncommon. We hope to check out São Miguel too. We just shot an interview with someone living in the Azores so we hope that you get to see that video and enjoy it. - Josh & Kalie

[@jesperrasmussen2058]

Nice video! :D can you answer any questions regarding NHR Status?

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Hi Jesper, the interview with the tax company here in Portugal is happening next week and we'll get that out ASAP. If you're not already subscribed, please do that and ring the notification bell so you don't miss that video. Thanks for the question. - Josh & Kalie

[@ruisilva3099]

Congratulations on your 6 months in Portugal, I hope you are very happy here. But I have to tell the people who want to come and live in Portugal, the country is not only Lisbon, Porto and Algarve. The cities with the best quality of life are not there. Those places are expensive and increasingly touristy.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks for sharing. It seems like you're new to the channel and our content. We certainly don't just talk about those 3 areas. We're trying to cover the country from top to bottom. Some people are moving for a job, business opportunity, remote work, and retirement so their needs vary. Many are looking to live outside of Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve. Still for whatever reason, many are still looking at Lisbon and the Algarve. - Josh & Kalie

[@ruisilva3099]

@@ExpatsEverywhere My comment was not a criticism of you, it was just information that I find useful for the generality of people. By the way, I am Portuguese, my first 25 years were spent in the metropolitan area of Lisbon and the last 18 in Leiria (between Lisbon and Porto). If you have any questions (mainly about Leiria) you can ask me. Regards.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

@@ruisilva3099 oh, no, we didn’t take it as criticism. Just that we’re trying to cover as much as possible to show people a variety. I haven’t seen your profile picture before and thought you were a new viewer. Thanks for the comment. - Josh

[@deborahlarive7711]

I am so concerned to have my dog traveling in the cargo hold that is so cruel and many pets have died traveling that way. I would pay the money to train my dog to be a service dog and take him in the cabin with me.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Fair enough. - Josh & Kalie

Yay! 🥂 Congrats on your 6 months in Portugal! I'm just 2 months behind you guys 👍🏻

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thank you. Will you do a 6 months in PT video? How are things in Lisbon? - Josh & Kalie

[@WeaveTheStory]

@@ExpatsEverywhere I never thought about it actually 😄 Something to consider 🤔Things are going quite good here and finally get to meet some residents. Streets are suddenly busy and people are dining out. I think it might be a similar situation in Porto too.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

@@WeaveTheStory we’re experiencing the same here in Porto. It’s like October all over again but warmer and more optimistic. - Josh

[@WeaveTheStory]

@@ExpatsEverywhere Nice! Hope you guys are making the most outdoors 😃 I've been travelling around Lisbon and regional areas.

[@migueloliveira4242]

You guys need take a coffee majestic caffe, in Santa Catarina St very nice atmosphere, try .

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

We actually lived just close to Majestic Café (2 minute walk) and know it well. Beautiful place but to be honest it's overpriced. It's worth one visit but not a regular place for us. Thanks for the suggestion, Miguel. - Josh & Kalie
