Living for a month in Lisbon, Portugal as a Digital Nomad 

Love this, your year will be like an advent calendar of joy for us all. Lisbon was amazing, Porto too. Such warmth and friendliness. Glad you loved it. I enjoyed your thoughts on the skateboarders, this is truly how we grow,

Hey Travis what a delightful video. Todd and I are so proud to see you doing your thing!! You seem to have become so comfortable recording in public. We are loving your style of vlogging it’s really showing off your personality. Keep up the good work and for sure Lisbon is now on our bucket list!! Can’t wait for the next adventure ❤

I did a 2 month stay in Istanbul this summer. It's a fantastic city, and very affordable. It's also not in the EU, so the limitations on how long you can stay are separate. More places for you to consider - Budapest (beautiful, but not as affordable as it used to be), and Athens (affordable and excellent museums/archaeological sites). The three recommendations all have a common theme - fantastic food! LoL. Thanks for the video!

Gosh your videos are just so darn enjoyable to watch!! Your words continue to resonate so much, when you said "at the end of a year that almost ended me". I'll be traveling solo in February to also wander and find my rhythm again, and watching your journey is so inspiring. I hope you know the impact your public skateboarding-equivalent art is having! 😊

Travis, thank you for introducing Pedro. I think I'll remember him and his finding joy in sewing machines. Love hearing people finding something they enjoy.

Your video's are so refreshing.Thanks for sharing your travels with us🙂

Love it. We were just there. As marvelous as Lisbon is, it's just the tip of Portugal splendor. There is Porto, Sintra, Coimbra, Evora, and Tavira for starters. For us (sad) monolingual English speakers, English as a second language is required in schools there. So, you'll have little problem communicating at the very least with most locals under 30 or 40 yrs old. Also, a lot of signage in dual language, English and Portuguese. We'll be back, and can easily see living there permanently. Hell, I can still keep surfing there because Portugal has great surf spots and community. (Sorry San Diego, Sagres, and Nazare have it too!)

Monthly transit card makes sense. Cheap, and great for exploring without limits!

Well that was a suprise to see you back on Travis. Great! Happy travels, cant wait to see where your travels take you. I ll be moving to Braga next month myself. Really liked Portugal and all it has to offer.

The Skateboarding Story made me cry, not sure why but learning boldly and bravely…♥️ your videos are delightful. I’ll have to check out more of them.

Hey Travis, once again another glorious video - you're getting better!! Also, I love your commentary and it's great to see areas of Lisbon from a different perspective!! I especially loved the museum and market and the African history walk. Travis, you did good!! Looking forward to seeing where you go next but I also have a feeling that you will be coming back to Lisbon many more times!! Stay blessed and be a blessing. Feliz Ano Novo 2024 - wherever you are!! 😘

Amazing storytelling and editing! Thanks for the info Travis. My wife and I are about to move there for a month and this was helpful! Keep up the good work!

This is really a special video…I’m so excited to share in your journey. Thanks.

Great shots! As always!

Last year we went to Portugal. So lovely, welcoming and very affordable especially for western Europe. I do recall seeing one VERY steep hill in Porto that actually had a handrail to help you climb up. We decided to take a 5 minute Uber to the restaurant even though we had walked 10 minutes to that point. We though, oh, the place is pretty close. Let's walk! 🤣🤣 We knew our knees were NOT up to that hill.

I’m not a big fan of traveling in general but Portugal and Spain are places I’d love to visit one day! I’m glad you had a great time there :)

Great video! We hope to visit Portugal. Glad to see you traveling again. Looking forward to more videos.

Another great video!! Can’t wait to see where we go next!!!

Omg amazing! Love this! You’re videos are so cinematic and legit iconic ✨✨✨✨

Travis, another great video. And memories of a visit to Lisbon. The trolleys, the streets, and oh yes those hills! And first hearing the fado singer, Mariza. Your month flew away. Waiting by the window for your next one. Boa viagem.

Great video! Blessings for the New Year! 🎉

You are living the dream! Enjoying your travels!

Gosh Travis, you inspire me so much! I am amazed at how good you are at ALL of this from videos to just exploring on your own. Keep it up, we love it! Also, I'm moving to Merida soon!!! I'll miss you there.😊

I just binge-watched all the videos you've put out since you re-branded, and I am really, really loving the new format. I liked it before, but love it even more now. Your personality I think is coming across more now. Keep up the great work! And I love Lisbon also. I've been there twice, but didn't manage to visit the LX Factory. I will add it to my list the next time I'm there.

Awesome video!!! Enjoyed this very much.

Thanks for sharing - you have been there a month already! Wow! Looking forward to your next stop. Happy 2024.

So happy to see you Travis! Peace and blessings for 2024!

Digital Nomad here🙏 This vlog was amazing and so well paced. I’m going to Portugal in March and this was such a helpful guide. Going to go binge ur other videos now🩷

Hey Travis, Greetings from the Frozen North of Canada where it has been minus 35 - 50 with the Wind Chill. I Found You in Merida and so Happy that You are Back Doing What You Love. Fabulous Video Like Your Style and Vibe it Truly was a Treat to View. I Enjoyed it so Much I Am Going to Watch Your Other Videos Now. Sometimes Life Paths Change Where the Journey Takes Us on a New Adventure. Many Blessings on Your Travels and I Hope that You Find All that Your Heart n Soul Desires. Cheers from Canada and Heading to Merida Soon. Happy Travels Travis & Have FUN Growing into YOU !!!

Hello! I am a new subscriber. I came across your video because I love travel vlogs. I enjoy some of the tourist vlogs but totally LOVE your type of videos about living and working in other countries. Blessings to you, my dear, on your travels.

I'm so happy you made the choice to slow travel. Very good lesson at 10:25. I am also not a fan of cobblestones. Beautiful city, and very informative video. I'm excited to see where you go next, safe travels - Anne

Thank for the video of beautiful Lisbon. It's definitely a place I want to visit someday. Regarding your skateboarding comment/reflections - I hope you don't consider yourself a failure. While we all should continually improve, your videos are beautiful and really capture the beauty and culture of the places you visit. Compared to your first videos in Mexico you have improved immensely, and most of us live vicariously through your videos. :) Keep up the great work Travis!

Thanks for the memories. I spent 2 weeks there in Feb 2020 & loved it though I thought it was overrun with tourists. The weather was nice & pleasant though damp that time of year. Porto was also very charming, like a smaller version of Lisbon. Keep up with the great videos.

Thank you for this video! I was in Lisbon the same time as you were (I stayed in Chiado). I absolutely LOVED it and watching this video, I saw all the places I walked to and made me happy! I didn't do much of the regular sightseeing, I rather enjoyed just strolling the neighborhoods, basking in the culture, and just being there. I did drive up to Nazare one day but that was as "touristy" as I got. Plus I am an online worker so I need to talk to my boss about traveling and working! 🙂 I look forward to seeing some of your other videos.

Nicely done!

Happy New Year Travis happy to see you back traveling

24 minutes of perfect!! This was great but we only get one Lisbon video 😢?? Well, it was a great one. I was in Lisbon in April. The weather was mid-70’s everyday it was great. I also did Naky’s tour, LX Factory & of course Timeout Market. I’ll be back in June 2024. Thanks for reminding me of all the reasons I ❤️ Lisbon. Looking forward to your next stop. 👍🏾

Hey Travis...nice to see you traveling again! The wandering spirit does not wane with age...speaking from experience...unless the body starts breaking down-and even then, the spirit remains. Ah, Lisbon...wish you made more then one video of your month long time there. Could you reply with a link to read your article about breaking up with David. I watched all your videos from Merida and wonder what tore you guys apart...maybe his focus on singing, while your desire was to roam to other lands?

Great video Travis! 💚🌴🌺🌿

Merry Christmas Travis!! And I am sure you will be having a blow out New Year. 2024!! Can you believe it??!!

Hi Travis, I love all your videos, Lisbon looks amazing. Saludos

Portugal is the best❤❤❤. Didn't know that Holmes Place still exist. I used to go the one in Oeiras way back year 2000.

Great video, visited Portugal this past October the African Walking tour was excellent.

Great video! I live in Lisbon, and you visited my friend's studio in LX Factory! His name is Fernando Munoz. I'm glad you liked Lisbon! I love it!! ❤

Awesome video Travis, nice to see you back. I was wondering about the temperature there cause you're wearing a sweatshirt and the locals are wearing puffers. Perhaps at the end of your year long journey you'll share with us about the year that nearly broke you. Looking forward to your next video.

Nice video! I had a good time in Portugal when I visited a few years ago, I hope u try the Porto region.

Fantastic video.. now I want to go there lol. You are doing great keep 😊

Im happy you have your own channel now. I was a sub on the Mexican one!

Hi, This is the first video of yours that I have seen, and it is THE BEST I have come across about Lisbon, and I think I have watched them all. I was in Lisbon, and Porto, this past July and it blew me away. It was overrun with tourists. I ate huge quantities of Pasteis de Nata and FRANCESINHA, which I assume isn’t part of your diet. Still, if you watch a dozen Lisbon videos, you’ll get to see people going orgasmic with that first crunch. I had hoped this would be a day by day video! 1 (excellent) video, but I feel cheated! Anyway, fantastic job. I hope you’ll visit Porto, Braga, Guimarães, and Coimbra. That is, hopefully, my next trip, even more hopefully, this summer. I have seen a lot of Europe, but Portugal…. So glad you loved it too!

Wait, what? Traveling again? You are missed in Merida. It’s still hot. 😂 Looking forward to this journey through Portugal.

Awesome video. I went on my first solo trip to Lisbon in December of 2015. Your video brought back some great memories of that trip. If you are going to look at various locations, I recommend checking out Taiwan and Japan if you get the opportunity to make it to Asia.

love your videos. I like your no planning style.

I love your inclusivity and creativity, keep em coming

Pessoas como tu que gostam de Portugal 🇵🇹 serão sempre bem vindas

Thanks Travis. I’m among the many looking to be an ex-pat someday and Portugal is definitely on my list to visit.

welcome to Lisboa

You're sticking the landing, Travis. Just keep going.

Amazing stuff Travis! What software do you use to edit! Don’t tell me you do such amazing work on an iphone!

❤

A bit late to the party, I love Portugal, especially Lisbon. Aren’t the Portuguese men handsome? Hope to go back next year. Keep up the good work.

So happy you made it to Europe. Maybe we'll run into each other as I'm in Europe also still. Do you remember Kat from Merida? She's hanging out in Croatia. I've seen pics throughout the summer of Portugal's Prime Minister. It seems as soon as his work day is done he ditches that suit as quickly as possible. There are pictures of him in old swim trunks hanging out at the beach talking with people. My favorite was of him again in ratty board shorts, sneakers and an old t-shirt standing in line at the grocery store with his basket of groceries.

Love the video and Lisbon, I am there quite frequently. How do you record yourself from front and back while in motion? Do you set your camera up and leave it on a tripod while say riding the scooter?

*I am jealous.*

I would not be surprised if we walked right past each other in Lisbon. I spent a December day and the weather was AH-MAZING that day. Seems like those days are few and far between this time of year. I've been staying about an hour or so north in a small town because that's where my friends moved. No car, few transport options, friends busy setting up their new home....in hindsight (and next time) I'll stay somewhere else and probably have a much different experience. Anyway, I've been watching you since Merida. I used to live there...then Queretaro. Just left in August to explore Europe. I'll email you if you want to keep in touch. EDIT: No email; tried DMing, but you have it all locked down lol 🤷‍♀

Great video Travis! I am originally from Brazil, but currently living in the USA. Brazil was colonized by Portugal, so we speak Portuguese in Brazil because of this reason. Brazil is the only South American country that speaks Portuguese. Thanks for sharing a little bit of Lisbon. It's on my plans for the future to visit Lisbon. Do you plan to visit Brazil one day? 🥰

If I understood the pounds correctly/symbols, it seemed very expensive. Your thoughts on costs ? Thanks. Loved coverage. Beautiful.

After seeing myself in a gym mirror in mid-February, I've spent a lot of time at the gym. My first thought was this place has too many f@#$ing mirrors and my second was I don't like what I'm seeing in it. Granted I've been big-time into biking for many years, but I've lost about a dozen pounds, gone from a stretch 34 pants to 31, which I'm wearing now, (I'm about 6' 3") and I can do 300+ lbs on the leg press. I did 3 sets of +/- 325 lbs (2 sets of 12 and 1 set of 10 a few weeks ago), but I got sick with some of the "crud" around here a couple of weeks ago. So, I'm not quite at that level right now. I like my little gym. BTW, they make New Balance shoes in my state. 👍👍 :)

Pray tell...having left Portugal, where are you now? The world is big...how do you decide, where to next?

Hi Travis. Are you still with your partner (the singer) you were with in Mexico?

3:47 cuidado com o cão Lol

Have you considred doing a Vegan food travel channel?

keep it zesty travis

can anyone tell me why so many expats choose to move in portugal? and is it still worth to live there?

You found any portuguese in Lisbon? Ou just self absorved digital nomads?

Left Mexico….:-)

hi, I am still searching a place to live....

in which city are you currently living?

Purely for living, MX City or Lisbon?

How much does it cost for the month,

interessante ver a minha cidade pelos teus olhos. Sobre a escravatura deves informar_te melhor. Não é verdade que fomos os últimos a abolir a escravatura.

Hello, I take it your no longer with the guy, when you were living in Mexico

What happened to black guy?

Lisbon, the disney city now unnafordable. Theres now far better options....

Basically what you are doing is working illegally. You are not allowed to work in Portugal without a residence permit or digital nomad visa.

Cool video, but I most certainly have a major problem with the lies that the African "tour" guide told you about Portugal being the last European country to stop the sale of African slaves. In fact, Portugal was among the first European countries to abolish such sales nationwide! It happened by Royal decree in the 1700s, whereas in Britain, for example, it didn't happen until the 1800s. Also, I have a problem with the notion that the Portuguese had been directly involved in enslaving any indigenous African people before selling them. Those African slaves had already been enslaved by their African warlords, as it was a well-established custom amongst the various warring tribes to take in men, young boys, young girls, and women from any vanquished rival villages in the many, many local skirmishes; and either keep them as slaves or sell them to the Europeans and/or into the Middle-Eastern slave trade -- a fact that all of those who like to peddle the ongoing narrative of "blame-the white-devil-for-all-the-evil-in-the-world" like to ignore!

a real Beta

"living as a migrant"

Now go home.

Very poor country…

Put me in your suitcase! 🫶🏼🛬❤

Great, as always. 🩶 I hope you went to the Copenhagen Coffee Lab in Alfama. I love it there.
