Hi, my name is Kal Deutsch, from the San Francisco Bay Area. We are interested in getting a property in Portugal as part of the Gold Visa program. Mainly focused on Porto. Have begun to research neighborhoods, but still learning. Our main focus right now is finding a real estate agent we trust.

Hello Everyone,
Kathryn from the US here, planning on relocating to the Azores with 3 dogs and my long time friend with his 2 cats. We will be traveling there soon and are looking at 3 of the islands to purchase separate homes near to each other as we are in our 60s and retired. Looking for peace and tranquility away from the rest of this crazy world. Looking forward to new lives and making new friends in the beautiful islands. hugs:

Hello All,
I just discovered this community, and I think it is fantastic!
This is Valerio, I was born in Italy, but after traveling the world and living in several countries, given the current dictatorial trend of the world, I am looking forward to be able to finish a lengthy and difficult refitting of a sailing boat, to move in it and live on board, becoming a truly nomadic being.
Best regards and infinite blessings to all nomads and wannabes

Hello/Guten Tag/Bonjour/Hola fellow adventurers – I am an American pretending to know more than English…still open to learning other languages with the help of my European and Latin friends.
I plan to live seasonally between N. America and Europe with a little Asia thrown in starting in a few years if personal and financial plans work out. I completed my first trip to Portugal last August and am looking to buy a place since PT is swell : ) I have traveled mostly on business but some personal to Germany, Netherlands, Korea, China, PT, Japan and Belgium. Loved meeting people there who treated me so well.
What makes me tick is what makes me and happy – truly kind and intelligent people even when the bowl of life’s cherries has quite a few pits.
I trail run, kayak, teach myself new stuff, and try to eat healthy (veggies). I love the beach but have found myself in landlocked Las Vegas for quite some time but the desert in beautiful too.
Feel free to say hi and would love to hear from other happy and hopeful folks!

Hi everyone! My partner and I have decided to take the plunge and move to Portugal. We have visited several times and love the people, culture and geography. We are applying for a GV. I hope to get advice in this site about the process, about finding a location to look for a house and about adjusting to life away from the US. It will be the start of retirement for both of us.
