GUYS I met Russians in person for the first time the other day. They were my movers. They haven't even been here (USA) a full year. I asked where they were from and they seemed hesitant to answer. When they said "Russia" I told them I was glad they made it. They smiled. They did good work and were polite. I thanked them in Russian which they seemed to appreciate. Cool experience. Hope they're good guys and that they have a good and happy life here.
Lisbon is nice, but there are plenty of nice places in Portugal that are a lot less expensive while still being really nice. Once you get the whole permanent residency thing in order you should consider moving to the suburbs of a smaller city. Yes that will mean a 15-20 minutes train or bus ride to get to down-town, but what you get in reduction in rent and living expenses is absolutely worth it.
The bureaucracy is part of the experience. Portugal is a relatively calm and low crime country because only the more patient and level headed people can stand living here.
"Low crime country" all this ilegal migrations skyrocketing crime and the ex prime minister's brother Ricardo Costa having the Audacity of saying its all "Fake sensations of fear"
Thanks for your lovely aerial ride. So happy you got to Portugal and are now getting settled and enjoying exploring. Have you tried the famous Pastel De Nata custard pastry yet? Let us know if you like them.
It looks extremely beautiful there! I really and truly hope you are happy! You have been on a long and difficult journey, to follow your heart and morals. You are a great example of a strong, brave human. Take care ❤
I'm glad you're enjoying Portugal. I have some Portuguese family, It's a great place. Mad respect for your journey man, would love to see Gigi again, I love that bloke.
hey man, welcome to lisbon, and if you need any help, just ask! I was a tour guide in the city and worked on hostels for a while. unfortunately the rent is hell and it's hard to eat cheap even though it's still possible. we were nicer people 10 or 20 years ago, but now everything is so expensive and salaries are low so we complain. but our country is still beautiful a pretty peaceful fortunately. expo 98 was a landmark, a huge event for us because for the first time we realised we were actually good at building and hosting stuff. that gave us some self-esteem we needed. I was a kid back then and it was an amazing time. I'm not great about documents but I know people who are. and hey if you want to just hang around and have some stuff explained, you do have some portuguese subscribers!
I feel you Roman on always thinking of home no matter where you are. There’s something comfortable and familiar about thinking of home and associating certain things and places and views with that feeling
You keep saying you're depressed but you look a lot happier. Eat some fish, get some sun every day and exercise...goes a long way to help mood. Happy to see you settling in.
Lisbon is an incredible city everyone talks about Paris, London, New York etc... but they should talk more about Lisbon too... it's a city that has everything and is safe 🇵🇹❤️
Moved from Russia to Germany with my parents in 1993 when I was 9. Moving to a different country is always difficult and it takes many years to get fully accustomed, especially as an adult. But you'll be glad you did many years later.
Kinda similar story here.. Moved same year but to Spain and having 14. Did have some adaptation problems and struggles but after years I definitely love the change. But...! Crazy part of the story... (Will come in 2nd comment)
Lisbon looks beautiful …you need to wear a t-shirt though in the summer! Your sound quality and visual is very good! 👍 can’t believe it’s been 3 months that you’ve been there! Enjoy the beauty of the country. You get to see lots of sunshine!
I loved visiting Lisbon so much, especially the Expo98 site. The train station is designed by famous architect Santiago Calatrava that also did the World Trade Center Oculus in NYC (among many other buildings around the world). Many of the other Expo locations (also known as World’s Fair) are in disrepair or have been completely demolished since they’re usually built for short-term use.
Está enganada, a maioria das construções da expo, ainda lá estão em bom estado, muitas foram ampliadas e adaptadas e estão a funcionar. Oceanário, teatro, centro de congressos e exposições, pavilhão de eventos, torre foi adapta a hotel de 5 ou 6 estrelas, etc. É das zonas mais caras e modernas da cidade....
We live in the US, and we visited Lisbon last a year ago in the Spring. We found that grocery prices were similar to our costs at home. Of course, gasoline was WAY more expensive than in the States, but that is the same throughout Europe.
You can pay your bills in any shop that has "payshop" advertised (with a dotted up arrow logo). All-purpose stationary shops usually have it. You pay a very small fee for that service. Plus, it's their own business, so no worries about strikes :P Get a Wise card to exchange your foreign currency to euros, withdraw the money, and pay in cash. Wise also offers a bank account in Euros.
you COULD move to Romania after you get a EU residency. You can find similar prices as in Russia and rent is dirt cheap BUT you get a lot of nice places to explore and you can still travel
i agree with covert's insight, big changes can create a bit of stress-induced trauma, not saying its how you felt or anything but could be something that makes losing the weight more difficult if the stress of it all keeps grinding your gears after its said and done
Compared to most northwestern European nations, Portugal's food and restaurant prices are actually relatively low. A 3-course meal at a restaurant in Portugal, with drinks and everything, would cost you about 30 euros per person (depending on where you go, of course). If I would have a similar meal with the same drinks here in The Netherlands, I would have to pay around double that amount...
Make a point of going outside for regular walks, Roman. Maybe get a bicycle. You need to keep yourself in a healthy frame of mind to match your beautiful new surroundings. Thanks for the mini-tour of Lisbon. Now I want to visit...
Man you remind me of myself in 2015, when I went to live in Lisbon. Prices were hiking but not the stupidity we see today. Anyhow, that feeling of openness, green areas, sunny weather and the city itself which has a lot of white or light shaded buildings, which make it bright even in winter. Man I miss Lisbon....I was so happy next to that cable car. Not there anymore. Enjoy your stay in Portugal.
I dont understand his complaining about prices. Portugal is one of the cheapest countries in europe, even cheaper than eastern europe. Except for housing prices. But bills and groceries are really cheap in comparison to other places in europe. I am from slovakia, average monthly bill for 2 bedroom 70m2 commie apartment is 200-300e/month. Also groceries are more expensive than in lisbon quite a lot also VAT. Also rent was more expensive at one point, now i am not so sure, because lisbon rents went out of control, but slovakia is still quite expensive. But i assume rent is more expensive in portugal especially in lisbon. But when i used to live in lisbon monthly bills were like 100e, may be even less, groceries were way cheaper, especially basic groceries, yes, alcohol, candies etc... that was more expensive.

I've been in Portugal for 8 years and I love seeing you uncover it for the first time. Its a wonderful place with great food, weather, and people. The government is extremely bureaucratic. I have been trying to renew my residency card for 1.5 years. Last time I went to the Government office which I thought would give me the card they asked me why it took so long, and i just had to tell them that the last 3 appointments i had were canceled due to strikes. None the less, the person handling my case wasn't in that day so they said look in the mail for something and its been another month since then. So on it goes. Welcome to Portugal~!
It's so surreal to see a video from a youtuber I like take place 5 minues away from my workplace. EDIT: At 11:58 Ahahaha! These are the Tagides. They are the nymphs/mermaid-but-not-really of the Tagus River.
You certainly have the talent for creating informative and entertaining videos. All the best in adjusting to your new life and dealing with all the minor and major hurdles, but it seems you are managing just fine as you have your good attitude and youthful energy on your side.
Roman, I love you! You make me smile, laugh, occasionally cry. I’ll be in Lisbon briefly in October and will buy you dinner at your favorite (affordable 😊) restaurant! Blessings.
Hang in there; you have a ton of living left and you are moving forward and one never knows what is around the next corner. At least now you are the motivator of your life and where u live it. Freedom also cones with a cost.
You’re looking well Roman. Despite what you are going through, you look a little less stressed and have lost the pasty Siberian skin colour. Wishing you good luck
Nice weather there. Good thoughts on the immigrant experience. But I also want to see a video of you in a very cute historical part of downtown Lisbon and then see you eat in a typical Portuguese restaurant.
Portugal is one of my favourite countries, seeing the Portuguese flag reminds me of looking out at the Atlantic, blue skies, hearing Fado music, walking to a restaurant to eat amazing, reasonably priced seafood (definitely cheaper than Spain, Italy etc.!). I hope to move there once I've saved up a good amount in east Asia. Boa sorte Roman!
I would say it definitely has to be easier being an immigrant nowadays with the internet. You can still read all your favorite newspapers and see your favorite shows, and chat with buddies online. Just like a generation ago, people could not do that.
Always enjoy your videos Roman, you always make me laugh at least once. It sure is nice to see you seeming to do better mentally. I really think that was 15k well spent.
Roman, just wait until you travel for vacation to, say, Italy. There is an amazing weird feeling when you return from vacation in Europe back home to Europe. I just love it.
Just got back from Portugal and you're right,it's expebsive.Lisbon very expensive the Algarve MUCH better.Loved it.I'm from north Italy by the way.Dig your vids.
I really enjoyed this video. Not many utubers show their apartments or houses but when I watch the videos I am always so curious. I really enjoyed this video.
Dear Roman. 1st thing. It is OK to feel depressed. You are allowed. Knowing this look after your mental health the best way you can and count every little victory as a victory. Talk to a professional if you feel the need. When people move to another place they go through different stages too. From honeymoon to resentment to acceptance and adaptation. It is just part of the process. Portugal is my home, despite me living abroad. It is lovely and infuriating. It is open armed and stuborn and close minded...it is everything so choose the circles that give you joy. The people that welcome you and treat you well and keave behind the ones who do not. It will be tough but I hope your heart will one day call our little country yours too. And one day you will travel and maybe even move (a Portuguese passport will help)...you are a wonderer, a free spirit after all but hopefully you will still want to come back for a rest. I also hope one day, perhaps sooner than you think, things will change in Russia and you will be able to go back without fear. The place where we grow up. Ugly or pretty is always ours the most. Now go find things and people that bring you joy
On the comment that there are a lot of people out, I think the school year ended earlier this month and the weather on the coast is nice for once. I hope the seasonal late winter depression doesn't hit too hard cause Lisbon can get pretty rainy
An iPhone tip-here(US) I buy Apple gift cards and load them into my phone. Any charge from Apple is taken from the gift card balance first before bank card, etc. Maybe this would work for you in Portugal.
If it's still there, Taberna Sal Grosso in Lisbon is amazing. Went there several times and it's amazing, fresh and it's a tiny hole in the wall place that the tourists don't end up in.
Glad to see you uploading again Roman. Always appreciate your perspective on things like being an immigrant in a foreign country. Also always wanted to visit Portugal and you convinced to me go!
This was an unusuall cool June for Portugal. Generally, the air doesn't get too high near the ocean and stays at 24-25 for most of the summer with an exception of a few weeks. But the sun radiation is so strong it sometimes feels like 30 in direct sunlight.
I have followed you from your hometown and.have.loved watching you adapt to new conditions - Lisbon looks beautiful and I hope it's gonna be great for you - it has great vibes Roman - great vibes ☀️🌞😎
I love your videos because you make casual jokes about your life in Russia and some of them is just outright sad but you make them funny and i love it. Nice one bro.
I love your in real life, travel type videos. You aren’t super fake and polished which makes it entertaining and your personality comes through. And your awkwardness is adorable.
Its was Built for the EXPO98 and before the EXPO it was a Giant industrial Logistic complex with Oil Refineries and some resident have said that they can still smell Oil from that area
@grabedigger Hah, yes! I was there too and told to wash my hands twice before eating after visiting some of the pavilions....but with bottled water. I survived!
Survivor syndrome is a broader term than survivor guilt and it encompasses a range or psychological and emotional responses to a traumatic event. It can include feelings of guilt, anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder
feels like a fresh video you changed things up you promised yourself you will and you did roman you found new stuff to talk about, see its all working out)))
Hang out @ coffee places to meet people. Bring your laptop and do editing there. You’ll be surprised how many people you can meet! Lay out on the beach to get some color. Go to a beach that’s pretty well populated. Start an exercise program by first walking then incorporate running. It’s free and you will definitely feel better doing that than staying in your apartment. ✌️❤👍
I lived abroad for a while before coming back to Portugal and i know the feeling of disconnection in the beginning... once you make friends with some Tugas (Portuguese) you'll get to know a lot of the real good stuff that is not easily discoverable by tourists (hint: real gems don't look fancy)... wish you the best!
We were in Lisbon mid April, and towards the end of the trip we experienced heat in the 30s. Since we are from Canada we were freaking out, but actually it was a welcome feeling of summer coming. Have you thought about visiting Canada? I think you are in one of the best countries in the world right now, but you might find Canada to be a very comfortable country for you. I grew up very aware of Russia and Ukraine because one of our most influential local families were Russian / Ukrainian. I can remember a lot of craziness, but also a lot of good neighborly love. One Russian impression where I live if one of Doukhobors. There are still some living in Western Canada, but we don’t hear much of them for years…

None the less, the person handling my case wasn't in that day so they said look in the mail for something and its been another month since then. So on it goes. Welcome to Portugal~!
As an update they finally sent me my resident card about a week ago. So things are terribly slow but they do work. Good luck to you!
It's so surreal to see a video from a youtuber I like take place 5 minues away from my workplace.
EDIT: At 11:58 Ahahaha! These are the Tagides. They are the nymphs/mermaid-but-not-really of the Tagus River.
¡Gracias!
Cool to see all of your hard work paying off
You certainly have the talent for creating informative and entertaining videos. All the best in adjusting to your new life and dealing with all the minor and major hurdles, but it seems you are managing just fine as you have your good attitude and youthful energy on your side.
Roman, I love you! You make me smile, laugh, occasionally cry. I’ll be in Lisbon briefly in October and will buy you dinner at your favorite (affordable 😊) restaurant! Blessings.
Hang in there; you have a ton of living left and you are moving forward and one never knows what is around the next corner. At least now you are the motivator of your life and where u live it. Freedom also cones with a cost.
I love it when you take us on a tour, these are my favorite videos
You’re looking well Roman. Despite what you are going through, you look a little less stressed and have lost the pasty Siberian skin colour. Wishing you good luck
Nice weather there. Good thoughts on the immigrant experience. But I also want to see a video of you in a very cute historical part of downtown Lisbon and then see you eat in a typical Portuguese restaurant.
And listen to some Fado ❤
Danke!
Portugal is a safe and awesome country. Glad you are in eu!! Great video💕
Portugal is one of my favourite countries, seeing the Portuguese flag reminds me of looking out at the Atlantic, blue skies, hearing Fado music, walking to a restaurant to eat amazing, reasonably priced seafood (definitely cheaper than Spain, Italy etc.!). I hope to move there once I've saved up a good amount in east Asia. Boa sorte Roman!
I would say it definitely has to be easier being an immigrant nowadays with the internet. You can still read all your favorite newspapers and see your favorite shows, and chat with buddies online. Just like a generation ago, people could not do that.
Always enjoy your videos Roman, you always make me laugh at least once. It sure is nice to see you seeming to do better mentally. I really think that was 15k well spent.
I was always curious about Portugal. Thanks! Hope you travel more so I can convince myself to go visit!
Roman you need to make video on how you tackling the Portuguese language. Are you taking lessons? Using language apps, friend help etc.?
Roman knows Chinese, I am sure he can learn Portuguese in record time.
@@Crurned A maioria das pessoas, especialmente as mais novas falam inglês, mas é importante que aprenda algumas coisas em Português
@@quifix1estoy de acuerdo con usted.
Roman, just wait until you travel for vacation to, say, Italy. There is an amazing weird feeling when you return from vacation in Europe back home to Europe. I just love it.
Just got back from Portugal and you're right,it's expebsive.Lisbon very expensive the Algarve MUCH better.Loved it.I'm from north Italy by the way.Dig your vids.
Vous avez l air si content et relax ,je suis contente pour vous. Profitez bien. Vous avez fait un bon choix. Vous faites plaisir à voir.
WHY WAS I ONLY KNOWING NOW YOU'RE LIVING IN MY COUNTRY OMG?? You should visit Porto btw beautiful city!
I really enjoyed this video. Not many utubers show their apartments or houses but when I watch the videos I am always so curious. I really enjoyed this video.
Happy to know you are having fun in lisbon. 👍
Dear Roman. 1st thing. It is OK to feel depressed. You are allowed. Knowing this look after your mental health the best way you can and count every little victory as a victory. Talk to a professional if you feel the need.
When people move to another place they go through different stages too. From honeymoon to resentment to acceptance and adaptation. It is just part of the process.
Portugal is my home, despite me living abroad. It is lovely and infuriating. It is open armed and stuborn and close minded...it is everything so choose the circles that give you joy. The people that welcome you and treat you well and keave behind the ones who do not.
It will be tough but I hope your heart will one day call our little country yours too. And one day you will travel and maybe even move (a Portuguese passport will help)...you are a wonderer, a free spirit after all but hopefully you will still want to come back for a rest. I also hope one day, perhaps sooner than you think, things will change in Russia and you will be able to go back without fear. The place where we grow up. Ugly or pretty is always ours the most.
Now go find things and people that bring you joy
More like stop smoking and go train or something
Very happy for you, Roman. Enjoy Europe
On the comment that there are a lot of people out, I think the school year ended earlier this month and the weather on the coast is nice for once. I hope the seasonal late winter depression doesn't hit too hard cause Lisbon can get pretty rainy
yea portugal school ends in mid june and starts mid september making 3 months of summer
An iPhone tip-here(US) I buy Apple gift cards and load them into my phone. Any charge from Apple is taken from the gift card balance first before bank card, etc. Maybe this would work for you in Portugal.
Awesome !
Hell yeh . show us what is interesting in your mind, no worries about we want to see, I promise we will all still be watching !
Grazie.
Hello Roman, im so Happy for you to be here ❤❤❤
Surely the Portuguese treat you good ❤❤
I wish for you and everybody reading all the best ❤❤❤
We love you roman dont be depressed things will work out! ❤
If it's still there, Taberna Sal Grosso in Lisbon is amazing. Went there several times and it's amazing, fresh and it's a tiny hole in the wall place that the tourists don't end up in.
Portugal, exceeded our expectations, one of our favorite traveled countries.
Good Stuff. Summertime and the living is easy. Right vibes for the moment and an interesting and fun video, Roman.
Estonia represent! 0:43
It is my honor to have our country shown first in this shot.
Ohhh you need to visit Portals islands! Looking forward to your future videos Roman.
Great content Roman! Great to see that you are starting to like ur new life in Europe, stay positive and enjoy!!!!
I'm glad you are enjoying my beloved city and country.
I hope you will always feel welcome, my friend ❤
Enjoy
Glad to see you uploading again Roman. Always appreciate your perspective on things like being an immigrant in a foreign country. Also always wanted to visit Portugal and you convinced to me go!
If you want colder weather, live in Porto. It’s hardly ever too hot there.
This was an unusuall cool June for Portugal. Generally, the air doesn't get too high near the ocean and stays at 24-25 for most of the summer with an exception of a few weeks. But the sun radiation is so strong it sometimes feels like 30 in direct sunlight.
I have followed you from your hometown and.have.loved watching you adapt to new conditions - Lisbon looks beautiful and I hope it's gonna be great for you - it has great vibes Roman - great vibes ☀️🌞😎
Привет из Коста-Рики. 🇨🇷
I love your videos because you make casual jokes about your life in Russia and some of them is just outright sad but you make them funny and i love it.
Nice one bro.
I love your in real life, travel type videos. You aren’t super fake and polished which makes it entertaining and your personality comes through. And your awkwardness is adorable.
It looks like a very beautiful place, you chose a nice day to film too, the weather looked perfect.
Its was Built for the EXPO98 and before the EXPO it was a Giant industrial Logistic complex with Oil Refineries and some resident have said that they can still smell Oil from that area
When I lived there (Moscavide) I was told we shouldn't drink tap water because the terrain is still polluted!
@grabedigger Hah, yes! I was there too and told to wash my hands twice before eating after visiting some of the pavilions....but with bottled water. I survived!
But at least they preserved the world of my youth in that flag park. 🤣
@@grabedigger What do you mean, epal's water comes from the dam, which is more than 100 km away?
@@quifix1 yes we all know that, but the myth was that the terrain was so polluted that the pipes would get contaminated.
Survivor syndrome is a broader term than survivor guilt and it encompasses a range or psychological and emotional responses to a traumatic event. It can include feelings of guilt, anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder
Lisbon is a beautiful city like Stockholm where i live. My brother moved to Valencia in Spain
Stockholm most beautifulest city
Jævligt ful JPG
@@albundy3808 🧐🧐🧐
I also live in Stockholm but I have cousins in Spain
@@albundy3808damn ugly alphabet stop smashing æ so hard together it looks shit
Eumazing video ! Love the content and the perfectly done cribs segment lololo
A little bit of culture shock builds experience and great memories!
Bro is well fed and cheerful. Good for him 😊
feels like a fresh video you changed things up you promised yourself you will and you did roman you found new stuff to talk about, see its all working out)))
Hang out @ coffee places to meet people. Bring your laptop and do editing there. You’ll be surprised how many people you can meet! Lay out on the beach to get some color. Go to a beach that’s pretty well populated. Start an exercise program by first walking then incorporate running. It’s free and you will definitely feel better doing that than staying in your apartment. ✌️❤👍
I lived abroad for a while before coming back to Portugal and i know the feeling of disconnection in the beginning... once you make friends with some Tugas (Portuguese) you'll get to know a lot of the real good stuff that is not easily discoverable by tourists (hint: real gems don't look fancy)... wish you the best!
I loved the “gtfo out of my room” 😂. And the twerking! 😆😆😆
This is a really fun video. It’s nice to see you so happy. When do we get to meet who is holding the camera for you?? ❤
We were in Lisbon mid April, and towards the end of the trip we experienced heat in the 30s. Since we are from Canada we were freaking out, but actually it was a welcome feeling of summer coming. Have you thought about visiting Canada? I think you are in one of the best countries in the world right now, but you might find Canada to be a very comfortable country for you. I grew up very aware of Russia and Ukraine because one of our most influential local families were Russian / Ukrainian. I can remember a lot of craziness, but also a lot of good neighborly love. One Russian impression where I live if one of Doukhobors. There are still some living in Western Canada, but we don’t hear much of them for years…
Haha that's cute. Us Aussies find 30 very pleasant!
@@jj-if6it
It’s all what we get used to… although I think excessive heat is actually more dangerous then arctic cold since we invented clothing… hhhh😂
ur gonna love the trav show man, saw the CM tour here in the states and it was great. has insane energy
