So, I loved this interview and respect you both! That said, I am a Lisbon fanatic and do not totally agree about the too busy city thing...There is so much more to Lisbon than the touristy quarters and everything is better outside them! We will have a car, but not drive in Lisbon...Park it somewhere outside and use only for roadtrips! The vibe in Lisbon is so great and I've never felt more at home or good there! I've lived in the French countryside for10 years and traveled around Europe for 30...I understand living a calm, lovely life outside of the rat race, but Lisbon is nothing compared to Paris or London or NY so for me it issomewhere in the middle and just takes my breath away!! All I need are good shoes and I just ordered 5 pairs!!!

The interview-style we've switched to is kind of circular so I just followed that train of thought as we got going and I just listened to Nick while he spoke and just tried to keep us going in this transformational circle interview approach that follows a storytelling journey. A few times, in my head, I thought, "what's my next question", but I just got out of my head started listening again and then it came back if that makes sense.

Brilliant interview! I'd like to move to Portugal in the next few years but I am still undecided on where to live. I like that lifestyle similar to Hawaii where you can get the best of both worlds where there are modern condominiums with beach close to it (coastal city like Honolulu and Sydney). The closest I can find is Cascais but it's very expensive, is there any suggestions that fit the criteria? Thank you!

@@jackofalltrades958 Azores is much more rural and village like for sure. Many say that’s the charm. Regarding the bureaucracy, it’s a sticking point but it isn’t a daily life burden.

Portugal tem um clima TOP. Pena é que não é para todos... Claro que com o que se ganha fora.... Um Alemão ou Europeu / Americano.... Que tenha uma vida confortável no seu país.. e queira vir investir em Portugal a sua reforma... Tem muitas oportunidades qualidade de vida... Os tugas estão fdd's porque com o que são roubados não tem essa qualidade de vida. Vivem para pagar "Taxes"..... Be aware of the taxes... O Algarve não é dos tugas mas sim dos foreigners... Basta entrar em alguns bairros até parece que estamos na Holanda, Alemanha e por ai... Um país nosso mas que não é bem assim... Tirando esses bairros ao redor é a vergonha que se vê... Ou então se fores um Politico Corrupto e afins tb podes investir o dinheiro roubado...

Great questions, information, perspective. Totally looking to escape the rat race and work defines your life mentality. In Europe when someone asks you who you are/what you do they aren’t asking what you do for a living or how much you make. It’s who are you as a human, what makes your life full, what makes you happy. What’s the Portuguese equivalent of “la dolce vida”?!

I wouldn't recommend the Algarve. I live here. Because of Expats, Digital Nomads and greed; we now don't have any production, just tourism. This made rents almost impossible to pay. Locals don't have where to live - there are several examples of people sharing homes by the dozen to be able to afford shelter. Also, the wage is crap and it's not matching inflation. Most of my friends already left - I'm also planning on moving, just so I don't have to die homeless.

é muito americano mudar de casa com frequência (comprar e vender). acho que por isso é que isso é mencionado. se se compra casas com frequência é mais fácil perder dinheiro com cada venda, por isso é important saber que se pode comprar e vender sem perder muito dinheiro. Não é necessariamente para fazer dinheiro. 🤷🏻♀️ mas se os edifícios estão a ser arranjados e estão a ser feitas obras, não é terrível. acho que o problema está mais em comprar casas nas baixas só para airbnbs e outros "short-term rentals". fazem muito dinheiro e não vive lá ninguém a longo prazo, esgotam a escolha de imóveis e depois, como é um negócio, vendem muito mais caro. Claro que se de repente imensos estrangeiros viessem para Portugal, os preços subiriam todos se não houvesse escolhas suficientes disponíveis no mercado.

well, honestly, Nick should have *led* with that *car tax loophole* when the topic of automobiles and the *26% tax* levy came up. I mean, *what??!!* nearly fell off my chair! and Nick seems like a very nice man. but not only is the wealth gap widening *all the time,* in nearly every place in the world - but *COVID-19* has made those conditions far worse, exponentially. and as he asked *why* Josh and Kalie didn't want a car, as if he couldn't even *imagine* why not. and he was also talking about having a car, as if if everyone can easily afford one. even though he mentioned that *26% tax* and whatever those other fees or taxes that he glossed over very quickly. but he was VERY clear about how, overall, *Portugal* is *THE MOST EXPENSIVE* place in Europe to buy or bring in a car [aside from that loophole, which he also glossed over. and he did say that percentage had been, incrementally [there's a specific schedule?] or over time, it been reduced, randomly..but really, what does any of that really mean, exactly?? it's at 26% right now? or it was but it's *less* than that? and, of course. I get we can look certain things up - and i research a plethora of things all the live-long day, *every* day. it's just that when something gets mentioned, with details an interviewee seems to know about [and who is someone who is *already* living life abroad], it's nice when they can be clear about *just what it is, exactly, they are saying. in any case [and I know this is long], there's really some kind of serious disconnect there [living there, one of the 3 things we need at home "is a pool?"...which means *my* 'pool' will likely have to be the ocean - luckily, I'm attracted to the coastal areas]...and for someone who says he really wants to help people coming to Portugal - also, that he's from South Africa, too? I would hope he'd be a bit more 'woke' & compassionate towards the less fortunate, meaning, towards relocating ex-pats who are on a budget. and I have no idea his financial status, of course - none of my business. but the way he was talking, sounded like it might be a more ideal situation for him offer *bespoke* kinds of helping services - for high net worth individuals and families [like the *Capitalist Nomad* channel guy does - although not saying the same kind of services, necessarily]..which could also include investors/new business owners. that could possibly really work out for him, as he clarifies, for himself, his focus, his target demographic. I mean, at first I thought: wow, he might be a really great person to seek out when In Portugal - and I know I said a lot here but I still think he seem like a genuinely nice person. it's just that, at this stage in my life, I think I'd feel quite uncomfortable, reaching out for assistance/services from someone who seems a bit tone deaf..to the financial parameters of those who are not wealthy. because I'm not gonna lie: it was kind of uncomfortable to see Nick, appearing anyway, to be so confused about why Josh & Kalie did not plan to buy a car.🤦🏾♀️ although, Josh handled that moment so professionally, so very well!👍 which, imho, is why he & Kalie are both a naturals, at doing the awesome work that they do.🥇🏆🏅
