Introduce yourself! šŸ‘‹

Hi there :wave:, my name is Travis. Iā€™m exploring options for setting up a base in Portugal. Iā€™m currently living with my wife and 2 adult sons in Charlotte, NC, USA :us:

My wife is Brazilian :brazil: and has some connections in Portugal.

Iā€™m interested in learning more about the incentives for expats to invest in Portugal, and the pending changes to the Golden Visa program. Also interested in how the government is considering the impact of the pandemic on these investments and in light of the rising default rates real estate seems to be having in Portugal and the world over.

TIA!

Hi everyone, I am Conney from Toronto, Canada, relatively new to NomadGate, enjoying the lessons read here. Originally from Singapore and had lived in HK, UK and currently still in Canada. Happy to be here in Canada, experience has been amazing .

Always interested in real estate and investing , I am now retired from formal work and business but never stop looking at opportunities. I am exploring Portugal GV for the benfits of my children, possibly retiring eventually in europe somewhere and since travel is in my blood, will love to be able to spend time among north america, europe and asia.

Travel is my number one hobby along with cooking and am a foodie as well!

Hey there Nomads! New to the group and new to the digital nomad life. Started my journey in Mexico and now moving on to SEA. I fancy myself a teacher, but have tons of professional experience in all kinds of fields. Iā€™m a former (and hopefully able to come out of retirement) rugger and miss being on the pitch! Any fellow ruggers out there you know what Saturday is!
Thanks in advance for any info you all can help with and Iā€™ll be sure to add my $0.02 where I feel I can help.

Greetings and salutations everyone!

My name is Cole Fewin. Iā€™m a young cinematographer with a bit of experience in filmmaking already, but eager to soak up the ā€œlearning sunā€ in my horizon. As you can imagine, I LOVE films. Now that Iā€™ve helped to make one, Iā€™m excited to have opportunities to add more in the future. Hopefully this community will help me in one aspect of my growth as an individual. Iā€™ve been playing golf since the age of 3 years old and I would love to get out into the world and try playing some new courses while I expand my cinematic experiences. Pleasure to meet you all!

A post was split to a new topic: Travel rights in the EU with Golden Visa, PR vs citizenship

Please what is this site all about ?

Hi from Seattle. I would like to connect with other families who are in retiring early, have children and are considering moving to Estonia.

Hi Thomas and all!
Glad to find the group. Weā€™re on an island near Seattle, two kids near college age, and looking to early retirement in about five years. Exploring the Portuguese GV now, which is how I found you!
We do a lot of boat-related stuff here, given the proximity to water at all times. :slight_smile:
Favorite places include Africa and Ireland, but generally love traveling. Hoping to live part-time in many locations after retirement.
Thanks!
Ben

Hi Nomads, Iā€™m Carlos Cadiz aka - red chevy16, Iā€™m from the tropical island of Trinidad and Tobago, home of the steel pan (the only new instrument invented in the last century) and the Carnival Mecca! I must declare after reading other nomadsā€™ posts it dawned on me Iā€™m not nomadic but sporadic so I hope you guys keep me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:!
So now about me, Iā€™m an Online Entrepreneur for the last 3 years having left the corporate world to pursue my own dreams, as such I have launched a successful online University teaching Business free to anyone wishing to log in, note this is not the run of the mill teaching academy ā€œYour Mind Is My Playgroundā€, by that I mean to empty every negative thought you posses, show you how to control your subconscious mind to achieve your dreams and goals, for women I will teach you to use your greatest gift and power, ā€œYour Feminine Intuitionā€ and while I can say how many qualifications I posses, action speaks louder than words, I also own 3 Technology-based businesses which include Travel, Ride-Share, Personal Aromatherapy and Bill reduction programs, guess that good for now hope I didnā€™t overdo!

Dear readers, it is such a pleasure to be tapping away my greetings; thanks for being Nomad/Gate, it seems like a joyful community to be part of. I am a ā€˜(due to COVID) formerā€™ Music Management company owner; I used to produce music events, from 1500+ seats capacity throughout the world. I now have a chance to reinvent myself, until my industry restores its normalcy; it might take another year. However, I love challenges, off I come new present.
A new beginning to continue the great journey of welcome to life.
I am a bilingual English/Spanish & CatalĆ”n speaker, can speak some Portuguese tooā€¦ a creative innovated thinker, looking for an interesting job opportunity in any legitimate, ethical industry, specially NGOs, anywhere. I could relocate given the right resources. I am an easy fast pace learner, go getter, self motivated, flexible, experience, organized hardworking individual with loads of empathy, sympathy and love to share.
Drop a line if this sounds good to you and have an idea/opportunity for me. Hope to hear from you.
Thanks a great bunch and see you around.
My best always.

PS: My bad! sorry, I was supposed to greet and meet yā€™all as well and recommend you my favorite country, all of them, please do travel as much as possible. A book? manyā€¦ ā€˜Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernowā€™ for instance, a podcast ā€™ 60 minutesā€™

Australian girl :australia: from the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in the south east of the big land (Victoria, Melbourne) :ocean:

Oceans :beach_umbrella: nature :leaves: animals :kangaroo: people :family_man_woman_girl_boy:

:cityscape: Been in big Corp jobs and got sick of the drama and commitment so started to travel. :computer: Now I do consulting remotely in marketing / digital / process and team setup.

I decided to check out Spain :es: for 3 months but arrived in February 2020ā€¦ 2 weeks before Covid. And now I guess I live in Spain :woman_shrugging:t4:

I am a dual British citizen :uk: Which was super cool, pre-brexit. Now Iā€™m trying to figure out how I can retain my lifestyle and rights to live in Southern Europe. :exploding_head: plus figuring out visas, legal rights, taxes - all the fun stuff.

Why EspaƱa? ā€¦ I like sun :sunny: But Iā€™m a long way from home and restrictions make travelling no bueno.

So Iā€™m on here for all the advice and tips, :raising_hand_woman:t4: Love the digital nomad lifestyle and looking to start some businesses :bulb: maybe in something related to property :house_with_garden: thatā€™s my jam.

Lots of love :heart:

Hi Nomads, Iā€™m Paul(28M) and Iā€™m from Singapore. Currently working as a software tester in a company for a shitty project but I have been invested into crypto, precious metals etc. Hopefully after this (painful) lesson, I want to be more location & financially independent and live off the fruits of my investments that I made over the years. Apart from research, investing, I also do yoga, swim, cycle, travel, watch comedy videos & drive around in my free time.

Finally, Iā€™m on my way to becoming a digital nomad. I have been doing research and making preparations for that fateful day I say goodbye to my current country. Interested in getting a Portugese Golden Visa after reading @tkrunningā€™s guide.

Thanks

Hi everyone!

Iā€™m Ly, for the past few years I have been living between Ont., Canada (where Iā€™m originally from) and Austria. Iā€™m an ESL teacher, am also fluent in Spanish and have studied American Sign Language in the past. Currently, in the process of perfecting my German and have very recently begun learning Korean.

My husband is from Salzburg, we are currently based in Vienna. I am constantly back and forth to Canada because of ongoing immigration issues :slightly_frowning_face: :expressionless: :expressionless: :expressionless: :expressionless:

Hopefully they will be resolved soon. Either way, very happy to have found this community. :kissing_heart:

My favourite spots include Leon, Nicaragua (where my Mum is from :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:), Prague and the Quā€™Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan. My dream is to live in Tirol, but my husband wants to live in Alberta lol. Hopefully we get the chance to do both!

Favourite books include ANYTHING by Henry Miller or Tomson Highway.

Hope all of you nomads are doing well in this crazy time!
