So happy to have found this valuable resource and looking forward to learning about othersā experiences.
Iām Megan, currently living in Houston, Texas. My husband and I have wanted to live in Europe since we were dating in college (lol, about 35 years ago!). Weāve been lucky to have travelled quite a bit since then, and now weāre looking to make our dream of a more gracious lifestyle and slower pace of life come true, hoping to make a move to Europe within the next 2-3 years.
In our travels, weāve made dear friends in Jordan, Hungary and Germany and look forward to being able to more easily spend time with them. Once youāre in Europe, Asia and the ME are so much closer. Iād say that my ultimate goal is to be a student and a citizen of the world. There is so much to see!

I enjoy traveling, motor sports, driving, reading, computers, and being outdoors close to nature.

Hi there, I am Luis DāAgostino, currently residing in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida.
I do several things, from property management, to real estate brokering and also real estate development and construction. My wife, Lupe, is also a real estate broker, but prefers selling Latin TV shows to several TV stations in the US and abroad.
Lupe is applying for the Portuguese citizenship through the Sephardic Jew program. We have been advised to open a bank account in Portugal to show roots there. We are also planning a trip to Lisbon in October 2022. Any tips for us?
We are looking to make a move to Europe in about 2 years, after we get our papers.
My name is Wally, my partner Jan and I live in the Bahamas, and have a summer place in Canada. We love traveling and have visited about 50 countries, favorites include Morocco, Myanmar, Laos, Greece, and almost any country on the Mediterranean.
We are here hoping to learn from other peopleās experiences as we are always looking for travel and living tips. I am a long time retired software developer and active investor today.
I may be able to help with questions regarding living in the Bahamas.
Hi everyone! Iām Alex, based out of Los Angeles. My partner and I are in the GV process for Portugal (awaiting pre-approval) and I wanted to join this community to meet others who are pursuing this and build a network. Things are just getting started for us and Iām eager for insights and advice. Thank you!
Greetings! I have traveled Central and South America as well as Eastern Europe and am now planning on moving my family to Western Europe, specifically Portugal. This is the first time I will be moving with kids. They are about to start school and weāll all be learning Portuguese, though I speak Spanish and hope it will be easy. Iām seeking tips on moving and/or immigrating with a family.
Hi All! Iām Lori and I live in Malibu, California, a place of natural beauty that I am so grateful for, but am looking to become a bit more nomadic and spend more time in other places I love like Spain, Portugal, Costa Rica, Italy, and Greece ā¦ and many more! Iām starting the Golden Visa process in Portugal, and thatās what brought me here. Looking forward to learning and sharing with this community!
Thank you letting me join this group.
My husband and I are British expats living in Florida for 18 years and desperately want to move to Portugal. I am hoping to pick up useful information on how to achieve our goal from this group. We have just applied for our NIF and need to know how to procede from here.
Thanks all in advance!
Hello! Kirsten, from New England region in the US. I aspire to shed my possessions and be nomadic once the kids are off to college. Until then, I usually take 5-6 trips a year - and have realized I need to start a process of establishing residency/road to dual citizenship with somewhere outside the US. I am also starting to lay a path to a nomadic vocation, as I am a lawyer and the trial schedule makes it very difficult. So a five year plan to pivot to appeals, and remote work. I love astronomy, science, photography, painting, cooking, pangolins and any outdoor activities. Lately Rich Roll is my podcast of choice and I have developed a slightly annoying plant obsession. (not plant-based food, although headed that way - talking growing wayyyyyyy too many plants.)
Iām Bonnie, and you can find me across the socials as @bonniejwallace. Bainbridge Island WA native, transplanted to LA about a dozen years ago. Iāve been self-employed my entire adult life-- the first 25 years of which I was an importer and jewelry designer-- which took me to India 2-3 times/year, with regular stops in Europe and Asia. The past 10 years Iāve been a consultant, podcast producer and author, and Iām launching a literacy startup this fall, which I can run from anywhere. My husband is British, and an angel investor, focused primarily on biotech and restaurants. He has lived in France as well as the US and UK and traveled extensively. We are excited about the possibility of living in Portugal and looking to move with a D7 sometime in 2023.
The books Iāve most recommended or given to people: The Artistās Way, Big Magic, Untamed, and The Obstacle is the Way.
Carol Ann and Bruce here from San Antonio, Texas. Weāre transitioning to retirement and trying to decide where weād like to spend our time. Weāre both āEuropeanā in our thinking and leanings so weāre hoping to find a location where we can add value as well as feel at home.
Bruce is a Chemist/musician/farmer of amazing tomatoes and Iām a dyslexia specialist and wanna-be artist/writer. We love travel and love our family (all in SA) so there is an inherent conflict - weāre tied to Texas or weād fly the coop tout de suite and not look back. Weāre potentially interested in getting a GV in Portugal so we can spend at least part of each year abroad.
We look forward to getting to know you and benefit from your experiences/ wisdom!
Hi Iām John, Iām a dual citizen of Canada and the UK and now planning a third citizenship of Portugal. I have tried working working remotely (before Covid) but found that I really missed the personal interactions. I am now retired and enjoy sailing, cycling, hiking and people watching. My favourite places are Key West US, Cheltenham UK, Prineville Kauai and Funchal Portugal.
I am not yet a nomad, but after working 35 years in the IT in Germany it is time to be one.
Maybe not a real one, but working 100% remote is the aim.
My favorites place is Thailand !
Iām Triet from Boston. My spouse and I are looking to move to Sao Miguel Azores via a Portugal Golden Visa with a real estate purchase. I came across Nomad/Gate and found very useful information and discussions. We are starting to research this and have lots of questions. Has anyone gone through this process who would be willing to answer questions and have recommendations on lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, etc.?
We love to travel and often come back to the Sao Miguel. Itās a beautiful place with great weather and you can grow practically everything. Why not make our home base.
