Hi guys, welcome to my little/big Portugal. I am humbled by your kindness. God knows we/our country are not perfect, but we would like to think we have a few perfect things that make life, well... delightful. Our land is blessed and there isn't much that doesn't grow here. Our climate, despite climate change is awesome, our sea provides us with so much beauty and bountyness, our history and people teach us all kindness, simplicity and tolerance . We are a peaceful, pretty, and politically stable country. I hope you are happy here, and that you stay for a long, long time.

Hello. Im frim Ukraine snd now we are with my teenage son in England timely but we have visas in Canada already and think about moving in BC.canada. As i supposed war will too long time..and now I understand we will need to start our life in Canada from zero again. I dont know what life in BC now, could you tell us about life in BC.? What is with work,rent,prices and so on? Can we think that people help us to start new life in Canada? Thanks a lot

@@Radioham-cf7ft , BC is a very big province, Vancounver and near by suburbs is very expensive to live, a single house about 100m2 costs more than 1,5 million$ CND(1,2m USD), rent is about 2500$/ 2 bedroom apartment. Job is depends on your educational background and experience, but most professionals immigrants can not find job in their career because Canada does not recognized their education/degree. Life in BC is good, the weather is not that cold, its clean and safe, but too expensive ,Canadian government has financial assistance to refugees but not independent immigrants. But most newly immigrant can live a good life here

@@Radioham-cf7ft Vancouver is rainy and crazy expensive forget it.Think of Alberta ( Province )Canada in the Edmonton area. I am half ukrainian and there are many many here they started this province a long time ago biggest Ukrainian % of people in Canada. They came here as this province reminded them of home ( farming ) we even have a UKrainian Village with the history and buildings of the people who broke land in this province. Vegreville is the hub around "Kalyna Country" google it beautiful rolling hills and cheaper real estate and old Ukrainian barns and homesteads are still standing Vegreville has the worlds largest Psanka ( painted easter egg ) You will love Alberta lots of orthodox churches and more Conservative in politics than B.C . I will find links and send it to you. Oh and we have a tour of many many churches in that area from the settlers . WE are proud of our Ukrainian heritage here. Very proud and we have a radio station that is all Ukrainian on sunday nights speaking and music . Come to Alberta! if you come to Canada. BUT warning we are turning like Communists with our Globalist prime minister. I know alot about Communism and the Holodomor from My grandmother who fled Ukraine in 1928 Lucky and smart her and my grandfather ). People here for the majority do not see the communism coming as they are clueless. But the polish and Chzecks who left their communist countries can see it and do NOT like it here anymore as much as they did. Message me and I will give you more info OK ? Hopefully the war will be over soon but as long as NATO is involved they want war and have for before 2014 it is sad that Ukraine is being used and this is even happening. Trust this half Ukrainian you will be welcomed in this area with open arms. P.S. RadioHam ? I love shortwave radio can never pick up Ukraine though Tibet and middle east no problem ;-)

Welcome to my country and thank you for all the nice things said about it, and our people. Not everything is perfect there, and not everybody is grandiose in Portugal but the majority is, and that is what matters to make Portugal a beautiful place. You seem two wonderful people, living a simple life, and taking all the fruits you can out of your land. You certainly are very welcome to Portugal! Everybody should have a garden, especially in a so productive land. One important detail of our culture is patience and tolerance. You are going to need a lot of that as the pace there is much slower. Everything will still get done but as its own time. 🤭 I am a Portuguese in love by Portugal since I can remember myself, although I left it because of LOVE, but there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about returning. My dream is to do what you just did, buy a house there with a piece of land, go live there, and go back to the basics, grow my fruits and vegetables like my grandparents did there for years and years. May you have joy and happiness for many years to come in my little loving Portugal, and a LOT of bounty too. Take care!❣️

We moved to Alto Alentejo in 2002, buying our home in 2003. Amazing to hear how similar your path has been to ours, even down to moving from Southern England and renting a small house in the village whilst our purchase and renovations went through. Everything you've said about life here, especially the people, even loving the rain and temperate seasons, is absolutely true. Incomparably better than retiring to anywhere on the Costas. I would not move from our little mountain home if we won the EuroMillions. Hardly likely since I've never bought a lottery ticket.

Portugal was once such a powerful country, it was perhaps the major force in discovering the world by sea, but after the earthquake of 1855, slowly lost its status on the world stage. I live in Canada and most people in North America don't even know where Portugal is on the map, sad !!!!! Your video made me cry of how you describe the Portuguese people, they are a lovely Happy bunch, and I can hardly wait to return. I also agree with you about the prices of property, here in Canada the prices of housing are just insane, if I was to buy my house "today" I could not afford it, but thank God , to of my Portuguese background/way of thinking it is paid off.

We have to accept that everything else moves slower too. 😊 You talked about your pick up. I have had the same car here for 15 years and it's 23 years old and still going, with few repairs. We are truly blessed to live here. 😊

Ok, I'm convinced - you've sold it to me hook, line and sinker. It does look amazing and what you are achieving there is inspirational. What would be interesting to know is how you went about finding the property and what drew you to the area where you settled. Really enjoying your channel! 😀

First time I went to Portugal as a younger man I was smitten. I know it's a cliche but you are so right about the lovely people - I rented a small rural house in central Portugal and often came home to find baskets of fruit and veg at the door. Been back lots of times since and was seriously thinking about making the move until Brexit happened, which made things a lot more difficult to run my business between the two countries plus the weak pound doesn't go nearly as far as it used to so need to save a bit more..... but one day - fingers crossed!

Best wishes and good luck with your plans. 😊

This just caught my eye. Enjoyable and relaxing entertainment. I know where Portugal is on a map. We had world geography everyday in school in the 1960’s. I live in the Midwest USA, rural America with four seasons. People here are starting to leave the cities and move to small towns and rural America to get away from the insanity and grow their own food. Anyway, good luck to all!

The beautiful land of Portugal and the kindness of its people has totally won my heart. As a single man in his 65th year of very limited means/low income and with a few notable health issues, my longtime dream of leaving my utterly soulless council flat in cold, grey and seemingly forever wet London for the absolutely stunning rural heart of Portugal, seems ever-increasingly impossible unfortunately/frustratingly. Congratulations on your making such a wonderful new life therein, and thank you for sharing it with us all. I am really happy for you both. Blessings upon blessings beyond the scope of words to convey - today, each day, forever and always.

@@NearbyVeggiesReally, the rain makes everything greener and therefore more beautiful, but I have to confess that I'm already a little tired of the weather here. These early winter days are particularly rainy and make me think I need to move to Portugal as soon as possible.

Hi guys. Lovely video. Just found your channel. We are in process of moving to Portugal, the Castelo Branco region. My husband like you, is from Western Ireland, Coleraine, I South African, but we live in Coleraine. We will be offgriders. So looking forward, hope to be there in late January. To me the whole country reminds me of South Africa. We spent 3 months there beginning of this year to feel the country out, and I felt home. You don’t say in what region you live, but looks central. Keep the videos coming. So enjoyable, and of course advice so helpful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@NearbyVeggies Год назад

We’re in the Coimbra district of Central Portugal. I’m from Donegal. Coleraine is North coast. I hope you have a great move next year. 😊

This is a lovely video. I totally understand how nice it is to have place where you can grow plants, trees and have animals. We had to do that in US. We left Los Angeles and moved to rural state country living where housing and land is cheaper 20 years ago. It has been so rewarding, we have 4 seasons and we love it so much. Is will be nice to learn about the Portuguese culture and your journey.
