Iā€™m new. Glad I found this site. Great info and community!
We (wife and I) just retired and currently live in California. We plan to move to Porto, Portugal later this year. Just starting the D7 Visa Process now. Any experience or advise would be greatly appreciated. Crazy and exciting times!

Hey everyone! Iā€™ve just joined the community and am really excited to explore all this useful info. Iā€™ve known Portugal since 2004 and moved from London to Lisbon in 2014 - itā€™s probably the best decision Iā€™ve ever made. I work with a lot of the things that are discussed in these forums (but I wonā€™t self promote here) :slight_smile: Since the start of Portugalā€™s first lockdown in 2020, Iā€™ve been working remotely a lot more - first within Portugal and now in Costa Rica - which is something I thought would never be possible. Iā€™m more than happy to help if anyone needs advice or tips about moving to Portugal!
P.S. look forward to speaking @tkrunning

Hi! Iā€™m Dinandrea.

Iā€™m a 54-year-old, jaded and cynical, licensed clinical social worker. Ok. Iā€™m burnt-out, friggin burnt out. :sob: I now have the time and some money to be able to start traveling again and I am gong to do it! First the skoolie bus, then Canada, then who knows ā€¦ but I wanna see a LOT (need to make up for lost time!).

I am a collective liberationist (no one is free until we are all free) with straight-up ā€œcommieā€ leanings, however mostly theoretical. The revolution will start (soon) all by itself. Any comrades out there? Hit me up!

I speak four languages: Spanish, English, French and Portuguese. My Portuguese is being seriously neglected, tho. :pleading_face:

My favorite book is Catcher in the Rye and Your Money or Your Life. No, Iā€™m not a psychopath and yes, I am an anticapitalist/anticonsumerist. Although, I would say that Your Money or Your Life is much more Libertarian than it is communist in both thought and theory.

Iā€™m vegan. I am a baby rhythm dance roller skater. Iā€™m married. I have an adult son and a senior cat.

Iā€™m on IG (too much), you can find me there under the same name. Iā€™m the ONLY Dinandrea on there. :roll_eyes:

Iā€™m happy to be here! YAY!!:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hi everybody,

My ā€œlegalā€ name is Francisco Alberto (at least thatā€™s said in the birth record folio of the Barcelona SPN town hall), but, at the end, everybody call me as he/she/it wants (Iā€™ll be the same, doesnā€™t matter how you call me). So, feel free to call me in your own language if you feel more comfortable, just let me know it.

I know who I am, I know how Iā€™d like to be and to live, but sometimes the lifeā€™s walking trails are hard enough to let you know that you can not show yourself as you are.

So, as Iā€™m already in my fifties, and I had to live a hard life, I believe that I can help others in some subjects (do not expect solutions from me, I just try to open minds, eachone is the only one who knows himselfs and should know the right way to choose/behave, but for that one need info/knowledge).

I mean with thatā€¦I prefer you to ask me straight forward to me if you want to know anything about me.

Studies: accountancy, hotellery-tourisme, multimedia (still in there uni, Iā€™m an eternal apprentice).
Jobs: barman, cooker, hotel receptionist, hotel revenue management, call centers (medical alarms, medical insurance policies, etc) and a huge ETC.
Hobbies: programing languages (sql, html, css, php), airplanes model maker, reading about all kind of subjects, running (just over by open fx tibia-perone), ETC.
Religion: the truth!

A book to read? Anyone from where you can learn something.

Buuf!!
Thatā€™s enough, itā€™s just an ā€œintroduce yourselfā€
:thinking:

Hello Guys,

I am Russian American from Belarus. I have been living in the state of Washington for the last 25 years. I am a retired software developer working as freelance English - Russian Interpreter. Now I am ready to retire completely and move to Portugal to enjoy the life there! I havenā€™t decided about the location where I would like to live in Portugal yet. I think about to relocate to one of the following places: Tavira, Vila Real de Santo Antonio, Vilamoura, Setubal, Sesimbra or Cascais/ Estoril. At this point my favorite is Cascais/Estoril. I am planning to move at the end of this year after visiting Portugal this fall or at some point of next year after finishing all paperwork with Portugal officials. Itā€™s not clear for me what to do and how because I have started to think about Portugal only this year, and I am still learning how to accomplish the task to settle in Portugal. What do you think about the locations that I am considering to move into, guys? What steps should I take the first? I will appreciate any advice! Thanks!

With best and warmest wishes,

Andrei

Hello, AstralDeBree here. Iā€™m an over-the-hill cyclist and artist.

Iā€™m not a nomad by definition, but enjoy living in different countries and traveling (touring by bicycle) whenever possible.

I found this site by searching for the best banks when living abroad.

My all-time favorite book is ā€œHarold and the Purple Crayonā€.

Hi, Iā€™m Jo - @jlscottart online :woman_artist:

Iā€™m a full time artist and nearly full time Motorhomer from the Uk, looking for sanctuary in Portugal with husband and dog :minibus: :dog2: :man_dancing:

Just finished reading ā€˜Swellā€™ by Captain Liz Clark, total escapism :sailboat:

Looking forward to finding out lots and giving back when I can!
Jo :smiley:

Hector here from California. Looking to get as much insight/direction on how to possibly purchase a home and retire in Portugal - hopefully in 7-10 years. Iā€™m currently learning to speak Portuguese and itā€™s so much fun. Of course, being able to speak Spanish helps tremendously. Partner and I will likely make our first trip to Portugal later this year, God-willing the pandemic may be waning down by then too! We love to travel, cook, spend time with our dog, family and friends. Greetings to everyone else!

Hi all :wave:,

My name is Sabrina, I am a German, married to a Brazilian, currently living and working in Switzerland (without my husband :pensive:).
From 2022, I will be able to work remotely for my Swiss employer and finally reunite with my husband, who is an artist. We are looking to move to Portugal and share our time between Brazil, Portugal and Germany. One condition from my current employer is that I need to set up my own company / sole proprietorship to keep me on. Hence, I am in dire need of advice on how and where to best do it to make sure I have the best possible financial set-up. Also, I am hoping to be eligible for the non-habitual residency scheme in Portugal and would appreciate any pointers too :-). I heard about digital nomads before and think itā€™s an admirable lifestyle, though I donā€™t know if I really qualify for that tag. I am hoping to find advice and like-minded people in this great community and Iā€™ll be sure to give back as much as I can, though it may be only emotional support until I learn more about the ins and outs of the topic ;-).

I definitely look forward to learn more about you all and maybe get to know some a bit better :slight_smile:
