  • It's been a year that I have been living full-time in Lisbon, Portugal after relocating from Bali, where I had lived for the previous four years. In this video, I dive into whether I am happy here, whether I feel like this drastic move was the right life choice for me and the overall good and bad elements of life here.

    I feel you, I have lived in Singapore 4 years and did not feel like I made any solid friend and dating sux. I am thinking to move to Portugal for dating.. but maybe love is just a lot of luck in the end...

    So good to hear from you! Missed hearing the latest these past few months but happy you're in the moment living your life, learning and growing. Interesting about Italy...going there for 1st time in Sept. and definite tourist pricing I'm discovering. Sorry to hear its been a tough nut to crack dating locals there. Sending you positive vibes and glad to see you finally got your card!

    Whoa, this is the first time you told us about the 6 hour interrogation for Bali visa renewal. That would have helped many in your audience avoid planning a life there and seems like a BIG deal to leave out of your experience there!

    I hope you get your card soon! Regarding men, how about a few days in Copenhagen? Scandinavians are pretty chill. I’m sure someone cool would love to follow you back to sunny Portugal. I’m a straight chick, but that’s my plan. Hehe! I’ve only spent 3 weeks traveling around Portugal, and I’m planning my next trip back. I was surprised, but Portugal functions a bit like a friendly, kind, but developing country. It’s old world, but not fully 1st. There’s a charm and a frustration. They seem to have such well educated people, but the tax system is beast for them to work under. I think it destroys motivation, not just the easy climate and culture. On the other hand, if bureaucracy worked better, it wouldn’t be so easy to immigrate. I’ve really adored the Portuguese people I met, but I have been told they’re very hard to date. But, I know 2 people who are well partnered with Portuguese people. So, it’s not hopeless.

    Hello, your experience in lisbon has been pretty enlightening to me as i would be moving to lisbon in August to study. the food will definitely be an issue because i am African and we love our spices. but ultimately i hope it is worth it.

    Cool to see in succession your video on looking for flats in Lisbon then follwed by this one. Wishing you luck on all ways especially the residence card. Im looking to make the same move, curious if the 183 day rule is true where you must stay in Portugal for at least that amount of time per year. Do you also know much about the subletting situation? Thank you so much for making videos about this stuff, much appreciated!

    Ty for making this video, quick question. Have you felt restricted by the residence visa, since you're not allowed to leave more than twice on the d8 ? I'm thinking of applying under the temporary stay (yearly renewal)

    • @AdrienField

      You can leave as many times as you want

      Yes, for a lot of us, it is. What’s great, the produce is great. A lot can be done, as long as you bring your spices.
