    I attended the virtual Move to Portugal Summit and learned so much abt planning appropriately regarding obtaining a Visa, renting healthcare, taxes, the how to adjust and immenrse yourself in the culture, all in one place! I’ve searched high and low for this information independently and it was a daunting task and it was never comprehensive. I say if you haven’t bought it, gift yourself this summit asap! It’s a wonderful educational, Christmas, birthday gift, etc. so invaluable! ❤

    Great conversation as usual! Thank you both for the information and conversation, it’s very valuable.
    I’m also glad that you always emphasize, importantly, that people figure out what works for them. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the “in” place or thing without understanding what we want our lives to look like. You can’t duplicate someone else’s life or journey, you MUST do what works for your particular situation.
    Thanks again, hopefully we’ll have the chance to meet in the coming year!

      Our pleasure, Jamillah! I suppose we live in one of the "in places". 😎 But I recognize Portugal nor Europe for that matter is going to work for everyone. We will be in SA while the @ExodusSummit crew will be there...

      @@OurBlackUtopia I’m hoping that the information I get regarding how the Portuguese taxes will impact me are favorable. Then I can move forward with my application. If not, it’s back to plan A! SA sounds incredible, I’ve only passed through on a layover.

    • @OurBlackUtopia

      Make sure that you speak to someone who is creative and understands American tax system - especially if you are not a W2 person or just a straight pension person. I would talk to Sandra Gomes Pinto or Bordr. (www.bordr.io/?via=anewdawnproductionsincdbaourblackutopia )

    I live in Northern California, and I love crafting. The Joann Fabric in my town closes its doors next week. 30 miles away, another Joann Fabric closed its door this week. My grandmother quilted with other women during the winter. I believe crafting helps relieve stress and possibly provides a pathway to good mental health.

    • @OurBlackUtopia
      @OurBlackUtopia  8 месяцев назад

      It seems like some of the 'homemaking' skills that those of us who are of a certain age learned are being phased out of the US culture - probably because things are so expensive that everyone has to work until they drop. Fabric and yarn/craft stores are plentiful here in Lisbon.

    Catching the replay & thank you for this information! It's good to hear other options for scouting or trial runs before fully committing to the move abroad.

    • @OurBlackUtopia
      @OurBlackUtopia  9 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much for watching and for adding to the conversation. 💕. I think one of the reasons that we've heard the stories of folks dropping dead right after they retire is because of the stress of the unknown. We, in the Black FIRE movement would like to re-define what "retirement" looks like. Instead of it being something that we do right before we die, it should be another chapter that doesn't necessarily mean that we stop earning money. 😉

    Definitely take up ballroom dancing. It’s a great way to meet people and you can join in anywhere in the world. You’ll love it. Be careful it’s addictive. I’ve been doing it for 12 years. Btw I’m 60 so you’re never too old.

    I have subscribed to your channel and find it to ne very informative, However, I was just wondering. I know the Catholic church is dominant in Portugal. Are there Protestant churches there and specifically are there any churches where Blacks attend? Do Afro-American Blacks meet and greet but not in a church setting? Just curious!

    • @YogaBlissDance
      @YogaBlissDance 9 месяцев назад

      They named a church in Lisbon that has a large or substantial Af-American attendance that was Protestant.

      Hello Wilma, we have several folks in the English-speaking Black immigrant community that attend a non-catholic church. Join Our Black Utopia's FIRE over 50 and Black in Portugal Facebook Groups to get the latest on meetups in Portugal.
      Our official meetup is in June: subscribepage.io/Portugal-summer-meetup

    For the meet up if someone isn’t a boat person can we still engage at the restaurant or after the boat ride?

    • @OurBlackUtopia
      @OurBlackUtopia  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hey there, If neither of you want to do the boat excursion than I would wait until after the first of the year when we start selling the tickets separately, as well as the package. If it's only one of you, I'd buy that ticket now. Prices will increase after the first of the year. 😉
