This is so good - informative and entertaining! I’m glued to your channel right now 😁
That’s what I want, a slower pace, beautiful environment
Me too
Amen
That story was wild! I would’ve been freaking out, too. And the bags?!?! Oh hell nah!!! 🤦🏾♂️
Stuff like this seems to happen a lot. Not the exact same situation, but I’ve dealt with similar issues when the military messed up my paperwork or didn’t properly process or submit things that should've been sent in.
This was great-thank y'all so much!
How much Spanish is commonly spoken in Portugal? I speak it, too. Also, what was the name of the website Laboss mentioned for finding hostel work in exchange for free room and board?
This was such a great conversation. Thank you for sharing! Wishing Laboss all the best.
Thank you so much! dont forget to subscribe to my channel to follow my travel journey in Portugal
Thank you for having me Ric and Halisi!
Hell of a story! Thanks Ric and Halisi.
Thank you!
‼️Congrats on 60k + followers. Y’all blew up!! I knew you way back when. 😆😆
Good evening all, Thoroughly enjoying this session, wonderful thank you. Grim London weather at the mo. Do also have a crash pad in Alicante Spain. Will definitely visit Portugal soon and bop to some other places, mentioned this evening. Just turned 65 yrs young.
Age is just a number.
You are only getting younger !
His journey would make a great movie. This was a testament of his faith and was a true blessing. Thank you Ric and Halisi!🙏🏽
What an amazing live! The airport story was wild.
WILD!!
Congratulations young man .
Thank you!
I love this story so much! I love the energy this young man has!
Thank you!
Hello OBU family. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. This discussion should be a good one.
I want to get out and I KNOW!!!!
Great heartfelt testimony. Thank you for sharing. 😊 Learned a lot watching this episode.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope some of the young folks are inspired by you to seek international study opportunities. I spent a summer in the UK in my teens. I cannot imagine being stuck there thru winter.
Yes the winter was brutal. But growing up in Massachusetts which was more cold and more snow it was not that bad for me. Studying abroad is an amazing opportunity for teens to get some outward perspective!
@@TheLabossShow Girl you know it. I'm up in Scotland currently but heading out soon. After living in MA, CT, VT this isn't nothing over here. We didn't even get snow the past few years. I've lived in other countries and will be moving on due to the rainy damp weather which creates havoc on my arthritis and tendonitis.
Hi Halisi and Ric, hope you both are well. I truly enjoyed hearing Laboss tell his story! 😊
Hey Helen - thank you so much for watching and for the encouragement. We're in Thailand right now, looking forward to returning and telling you all about it.
There is a beautiful life outside of the US.
Yes there is.
This was such a great interview. Nice storytelling. Very inspirational ❤❤❤
I love your energy LaBoss. Thanks for sharing with us. You’re a winner and I’m glad you’re sharing your story with us and others. Thank you. ⭐️💫✨
I enjoyed listening to his story!
Thank you!
Yes I needed this one to confirm my plans. Had to share w my hubby to help with his hesitation. Thank you to the 3 of you!
This is a great story. Glad this worked out. I started watching this while I was getting ready for work. I HAD to finish this story. I love this energy of saying "I am not going back to the States". I say this everyday I still work / live here In Qatar.
Yes, its important because life, challenges, and setbacks will happen. It's so easy for people to "revert back". But you have to remember you where you prayed for and keep pushing to see the light. The storm will pass.
Edge of my seat! The whole video! Wow! What a journey 🌻🌞
Hey there Ric & Halisi, great program watching from your future. Belated Happy Thanksgiving ❤❤❤ Lucinda, Audra & Duffy love your mission to educate, uplift and give authentic facts!
I don’t like the cold either. Tropical is for me!
Can I get a AMEN
Laboss in the house! Love your channel. Glad I met you in person. You are awesome with an inspirational story 😊
Thank you Frederica!
Mind blown 🤯 had to rewatch 🤭 loved it!
Thank you!
Beautiful share, and very inspirational. Thank you❤
Hello everyone!
That was awesome! Thank you!
that was an awesome interview. lot of great info
Thank you!
This was excellent and insightful.
What a story! As a haitian American as well, I'm so happy to hear other Haitian Americans going outside the box of what was fed to us as the best place on earth to be. I appreciate the opportunity my parents gave me by coming to the US but the best thing that came out of it was being able to get a blue passport. Now the world is my oyster.
Ric pulled off the Ad***** Brand off his hat 😂😂😂👏🏾
I ❤️ your educational content!
I am working hard on it!
I can't take long stories even if they're interesting. I'm trying to stick with it🤦🏾♀️ Im glad I stuck with it this was a great story, thank you Laboss
Amazing Experience So emotional Fantastic Culture so agree❤ Palm Trees Warm!!!
Hello ric and halisi and nice conversation today and I had typo in chat sorry.

This was so good! Thanks for sharing
Thank you all. 😊😅😊
Thank you for watching!
Coming from a Multicultural Family🗽🇺🇲🏴🇮🇪🇹🇹🇮🇳🇵🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧, I Fully Understand Laboss' Vibe !!!
AMEN!
I love when Ric does the "crazy" part! 😆 Hey Ric and Halisi!!!
Me too! I always say it with them 😂
I opted not to do study abroad my senior year cuz I wanted to go to prom 🙄. That was a big mistake.
Palm Trees 🌴🌴🌴🌴
🔥🔥☀️☀️
Great story..😊😮😊
I’m subscribed 🔥
🔥🔥🔥
What an awesome story! Wow! Ric & Halisi, thank you for your channel and willingness to share what you have learned on your journey while helping us to make the transition abroad. Thank you for not gatekeeping! It’s a rarity. God bless you both! Hoping to visit Portugal in 2025. As a 35 yo American who was born and raised in Europe, I hope to make my transition back soon.
You will be back, keep working!
Hello Ric & Halisi!❤. Everyone✋🏼
INCREDIBLE!!! WOW! Great Conversation….Though My Heart Breaks For What He Went Through That Day At The Airport! But, His Experience Of Muddled Administration Arrangements Is REAL PORTUGAL!!!😊 Sad But True. Nonetheless, Portugal Is a Fantastic Country! Fabulous, Friendly, Welcoming People; Gorgeous Architecture (as he said)….Great Food, Fresh and Organically Produced…..A Great Lifestyle. I’m Beyond Happy That He Got In. That He Was (Eventually, Magically) Given Entry After Being Denied By Other Officials (For No Apparent Reason) Is ALSO PORTUGAL!😄 Finally, I Say, God Works In Mysterious Ways….His Wonder To Perform!🙏🙏 Thank You Ric and Halisi. A Most Interesting, Engaging, Inspiring Session.💙💙xox
Yes this is Portugal! Gods grace I got in and im thankful.
I want out to i mean it asap.
Would you advise selling your house if you plan on retiring abroad. My plan is to retire in The Gambia. I have already started business there also bought land.
I feel like I’m watching a great movie, 😮🤦🏾♀️😂🤣
Yes this was a movie!
I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I would like to know what you two know and then go
African Americans rave about Portugal. I would love to know who are the most influential black people in Portugal because when I lived there, there were none. 600 years of history is a long time to not have representation.
African Americans jump through hoops to stay in Portugal.
I would love to move abroad but I and many I know will not and refuse to take any type of vaccinations that makes it hard for us to do so.
🤣I even ask my family & friends the same thing! Why would you leave warm, island for these cold states? They complain about the cold, their whole lives!! 🤯
It's mainly for jobs and work opportunities. So its up to us to show them there are other ways now and you dont have to "stay" in the cold
@TheLabossShow It's incredible though how our grandparents & parents adapt to that dramatic change! So Happy Everything Worked In Your Favor, For You In Portugal.🙏🏽Our Holy Father, Definitely On Your Side!
@@DeeK.M yes i agree! and all Glory To God! beyond thankful
What in the world?!!!
You look good crew with baby JoJo baby elephant
Get youself a notebook. Document dates, times and who you spoke with. Get copies of paper work in English and whatever country your going to. I learned this while traveling with my dog. There paper work can be more than ours. Also, check that dates are entred correctly. Ex: The US uses Feb 1, 2024 (2/1/2024) some countries put the date first then the month. 1, Feb 2024 (1/2/2024) I try and spell out the month whenever possible. This almost messed me up with the dogs vaccination paperwork. US, UK, or Canadian passport will bring you privelage as a travelor. Here in Europe what he said about Brazil is true. If they think you're from Brazil or Africa they wanna see those documents because of asylum seekers.
What is it like living in Europe as a black person
South East Asia is much better!
I’ve thought about Portugal but concerned about there language barrier. We are considering Belize or Costa Rica
Spain is quite racist, American passport gives you some protection
The truth is as an AMERICAN black person, especailly in Portugal specfically, you will have a privelege here that you would never imagine. The language barrier wont be an issue because english is mainly spoken especially in the capital. It is still good to learn the basics but I have friends that have been here 3+ years that still dont speak any portuguese and they are fine. It's not like other countries like Spain and France where you are frowned upon if you dont speak the language.
Well Said, Thank You Both For All Your Great Advice! Here In 🗽🏙️ 😂We Call Him Evil, Wicked🍊💩Face!!!!😂
I love your energy LaBoss. Thanks for sharing with us. You’re a winner and I’m glad you’re sharing your story with us and others. Thank you. ⭐️💫✨
