👋 Cajun greetings from coastal Mississippi 🧔🤠

Have a great time at Christmas ❤

Thanks!!!! Great information!!!

OMG we deliberately avoided McDonalds et al when we were there. Local food is way better by far!!!!

re: read the former posts sounds like something an engineer would do LOL

wow! I learned something by listing to this

I am a retired senior, independent living, 1 bedroom in ALGARVE nice apartment, near Beach

If someone wanted to purchase a room or a cottage what are the costs? I see that there are 32 rooms at 1, 200/week and a cottage at 1,400/week. Is that for people visiting or residents. So one would be buying a room for 57,600/year. Is that the first year or every year. And a cottage at 67,200 for the first year or every year. What does it cost to own one?

I will reach out to you, Victoria on email

Hello and welcome, thank you for joining in to see the live premiere of this special video about senior care for expats in Portugal.

The rent in Portugal is cheap?

Never heard of “tulipa” but were I lived we had “girafa” 1 liter, caneca and imperial or fino.

Stay in the U.S. You will get tired of Portugal within a year.

I can interpret your point of view as Portuguese in stating that "the 25th of April was the independence of Salazar's regime" (in quotation marks, of course) but it could mislead anyone who is not familiar with the carnation revolution. Salazar died in 1970, and the regime was different, ruled by Marcello Caetano. 25 the April was a military coup provoked by young officers of the armed forces (captains) who decided to put an end to a war fought by the decision of the Portuguese dictatorial government against African guerrilla movements fighting for their independence. These movements were supported both in military material and in money, by the world's largest powers: the USSR, China, the United States (yes, true) as well as other countries such as Cuba, Czechoslavakia and Hungary (then communist bloc countries). With this overwhelming support from super powers, little Portugal, with limited resources, with extremely high defense budget costs due to the war, it was a matter of years before Portugal lost on all 3 war fronts.The coup of April 25th also aimed to restore a democracy that would bring Portugal closer to the democracies of Western Europe, which were already Portugal's main economic partners in 1974 and where the bulk of Portuguese emigrants who preferred Europe to their own African colonies emigrated. The first 2 years after 74 were unstable, but within 4 years the country stabilized and in 1986, with its entry into the European Union, Portugal took the leap that made it a first world country that it still is today. 50 years later, the country is immensely better, and so is the overwhelming majority of the population. It is true that the independence of the African colonies caused the flight of hundreds of thousands of Portuguese who, in many cases, lost everything they had built. But they returned to Portugal and rebuilt their lives, with greater or lesser difficulty. It is clear that there will always be people who oppose this date that established democracy and freedom in Portugal, because they lived better in a state that happened to be a dictatorship where there was no freedom. I'm not demonizing them, pay attention. Just stating a fact. For example, even today in Russia there are those who regret the fall of communism and the disintegration of the Soviet Union because these people lived much better at that time. In the end, it's the same logic.

Up north, things are a bit different. We still have the mighty caneca, which is typically 50cl (about 17 US fluid ounces). There's a principe, which isn't common, and usually delivers about 33cl (12 US fluid ounces). Instead of the imperial, we have the fino, which is around 20-22cl (or about 7 US fluid ounces for those too lazy to do the math). Also, it is caneca, not "caneça", which simply means "mug".

Good night from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents.

I’ll have to watch the replay. My little sis called me while I was watching. Im connected to a few groups that give women, African-American women in particular, inspiration to travel outside of the US (I already do that. I’m 1 of the cheerleaders), and find sources of income that aren’t connected to staying in the US. I didn’t think I’d have to have another source of income. It was going to be, “nice to have, extra money”. I’ve been watching and listening, because if something happened, I’d want to be able to have a plan B ready, if not actively happening. This is very difficult for a very Gen X person. 😜 So, I know I have to understand the tax implications for working in another country, whether it’s self employment, or as an employee. I don’t think I’d start my own business, but the video was interesting in showing the difference between self employment and setting up a business. Thanks for the information!

Portugal is one of the places I'm considering moving to, and my 'research' shows that the social security rate on freelance service providers like IT consultants, accountants, graphic designers, etc is 21.4% on 70% of your quarterly revenue. Once you're done paying that, you'll have to pay either progressive income tax rates, or corporate income tax (21%) on the remaining amount - depends on if you're doing business as an individual or as a corporate entity.

One of the many reasons I still live in the USA. No language barrier.

Love this, as an expat Portugal member , I’ve found your videos 🥰, I have just received my residency, I will be coming to VRSA soon , I believe it could be the place for me, it certainly does check a lot of boxes. I believe you are a realtor, do you have an office there?

Much more important than the real estate market in the Eastern Algarve! Great job! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

Love it 🙂

I don’t get the lingering over a lager. The longer it sits, the worse it tastes. Drink up! 🍻

Fabulous informative video! I can’t wait to see the future videos. ❤😊

Is it as good as Newport Beach or Santa Barbara?

Hi Veronica! Can you give me advice on buses across the algarve? Im in vila moura for a month without a car and i want to explore the algarve towns from east to west. How do I get to vila real San Antonio ? Is there a cEntral bus station somewhere near me? G Maps doesnt show one. Thank you!

Can hardly wait to see your deeper dive videos. Of the different areas. Hope to catch up with you when my partner and I are in the Algarve in August!

Hi Veronica, just discovred you from watching your video with Nick from Algarve Addicts. Is there a way to get in touch with you privately? We will be in PT in Sept. and I wanted to ask you a couple things if you're open to it. Thanks, Cindi

We went summer 2023 lovely place. Much quieter than the Algarve

We will be in the country from august 13th thru the 28th looking forward to meeting up with Veronica while we are there.

I'd like to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

How lovely, it looks all so exotique and pitoresc... like in a little Zoo!!! 🫠🥰

And in fifty years it's now a better democracy than the USA
