Thank you very much for your video. I have lived for 25 years in the US but I am now seriously considering moving to Portugal. The political climate, gun violence, crime, cost of living, high health care costs, are all factoring into my decision.

Thx Terry!!! Your perspective on your lifestyle is so well written and cheerfully presented, It is packed with so many practical tips. Excellent! One of the most broad and efficient informational videos on Portugal 🇵🇹 I’ve watched and I’ve seen over a hundred! Muito Abrigado!!!😊

Thank you Terry. What a great video and so accurate. I was just in Tavira for a week this spring and fell in love with it. I will have to find you on FB, so I can meet up with you on my next visit. I’m hoping to get back there this fall. I just started the visa process a couple weeks ago.. Michael from Boston

I stayed in Fuseta for 30 days last November. It was amazing

Best video I have watched, straight to the point, excellent information

[musicpeace]

Very nice to experience our wonderful home town from your perspective Terry. That was fun. You covered many areas so well. I'd agree with everything you shared. For those who are solo - Tavira is a fabulous place to live. I am SO happy to have moved here....this is from an independent, solo professional woman 60+ who has lived most of her adult life overseas (which a stint back in the US for elderly parents). Come visit.

Hello. My husband and I are from Canada. Great video. So much great information. My husband and I had a vacation in Alberfera couple years ago. Although we found it very touristy. we did like the weather and being close to the beach. We thought of it as the place to go instead of going down south like to Mexico or Florida. We actually stayed a month just out side of Albeifaro. We didn't rent a car but we should have as we didn't get to see as much as some of our friends who happen to be here at the same time and we didn't know it. Small world. It would be lovely to find an apartment or home that we could rent and have family come to visit. Tavira looks like a beautiful area to stay in. We will have to check it out for sure. Thanks again for your awesome video. You are having your best life. Cheers

oh what a funny coincidence...we tried Panama, Mexico and ultimately ended up moving to Portugal. and lol...because we had to purchase asap for our pets...we ended up in Obidos...near Caldas da Rainha! We've been here for 3 years and presently looking to purchase in Albufeira. Thank You for sharing!
