We Lived in Portugal for 7 Months — Here's What Nobody Told Us

This was an amazing, universal conversation. Moving across the World is absolutely daunting, I'm sure...but your advice and candid look-back can apply to anyone moving just across a few States.

"Taking You with you" hit like a ton of bricks! The escapes that you might have had in the States, to get away from who you are in the presence of the one you love, are not as easy when it's just ya'll, trying to build this life and figure things out.

Y'all are some of the most wisest and mature young people in Social Media. I'm super proud of you guys!! ❤

Great vlog, but I have one question....Are you pregnant?🤰

You have each other to lean on. Any recommendations for a single person making this move without family or support?

That outro!!! ya'll are hilarious! Can already see you both at 70 year olds still married, happy and in love! Thank you for sharing with us!

You two have really become a model couple for simple people who prefer living life to pursuing material things in a hurry. I love all your videos. Very educational.

This is the best vlog yet. I really loved the transparency showed when you spoke about the grief/loss you experienced being without family. Often, I consider moving, but I'm single and senior, so I am concerned about exactly that. However, in reality I don't see or hear from family or so-called friends on a regular basis. If I am honest, I experience that type of grief/loss here in the USA. I faced my fears earlier in life and moved from Maryland to Montréal for a two-year assignment with the UN. I traveled the world and have been to 36 countries. But, I'm older now and not in great health, so I'm living vicariously through you guys. 😂Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm so very proud of you both. I've been with you since the MAFS wedding and remain a loyal fan. Take good care of each other and Declan. Blessings 🙏🏿
Question: Did you factor in trips back home? If so, how many did you budget for?

Great video. My husband and I have thought about for YEARS moving to another county. We’re getting older ( not OLD) and I keep wondering want would one of us do if for some reason we no longer had the other. Like do we put in a contingency plan for returning to the US? Well, the video definitely was informative. Enjoy,

From a Portuguese. Thank you for appreciating my country.

Yes, it is a bold move to quit your jobs, sell your home, cars and other things to live internationally. I hope you find success in this new chapter of your life.

Are you citizens of Portugal or do you have to apply for citizenship? What happens if you are not granted citizenship do you continue to keep renewing your visa and have to come back-and-forth? Are you able to vote in their elections?

If you decide to have more children and they are born in Portugal, will they automatically get citizenship ?

How long did it take you to research whether or not you wanted to live in Portugal? Did you stay in the country at least 3 to 6 months to see whether or not you wanted to make the move?

Hello 👋👋 family love you too 👋🙏🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦♥️♥️💜💜💕💕💗💗

Really love your videos. Greetings from Oklahoma.

Congratulations on your move. I have followed from the beginning. Praying for your family

Such an awesome video. I love how you both gave your perspective on moving. My daughter just visited Portugal and she said it was amazing.

Omg congratulations I can't believe you guys moved to Portugal many blessings to you and your family

Stay great!

Curious about the weather, y'all have on jackets. Is it cold?

Will yall get another pet?

I'm not sure if you all answered this, but what were both families true and honest reactions when you told them that you were moving? Deonna how did your sister feel? Greg what about your mom? And other family members?

Isn't it ironic that people from European countries are flooding the Internet expressing their love for the US and the people here. Many are saying they want the life style we have here. Just shows that one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Great life tips in general

So happy for y’all. Thanks for being transparent and sharing your journey

This was a great video! Continue to enjoy and learn from this experience.

Thank you so much for sharing..

Would you move to Portugal again if you could do this all over again

I love how you both are so respectful of each other.

Deonna's hair has really grown in these 7 months.., beautiful family

I’m curious about diversity in Portugal? Is it a racially diverse country? Does your son see other people in his school/class that look like him?

My husband and I are full-time expats and are considering Portugal or Spain for the long term, but our biggest reservation is the taxes. I know it's probably too soon to speak on it, but I would love any insight on what the two of you have learned about it.

thank you for the tips.

Happy July & Happy Thursday Beautiful People 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎& Beautiful Family🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

It looks really beautiful there. Please share more videos of the buildings, landscapes and coastlines. I've been following ya'lls journey since the very beginning. I'm really proud of how ya'll have worked together, to overcome the many obstacles life put in ya'lls path. I know things haven't been easy, and there's a lot going on behind the camera, but I believe ya'll can work everything out and be alright. Will Declan ever get his wish for a baby sister?? He's really adorable, and would make an awesome and helpful big brother. Much love to you both and Declan!!

From what I can see on your videos, Portugal is beautiful .

Thank you for being transparent 🖤🖤🖤🖤🎉❤

every think about helping people from the us who want to movie there

7snf sounds how i gre up in 70

do you have jobs

That's great that people go to the mall and you don't have that rush, hustle like in America, where everything is buy, sell, buy, sell, buy, sell, now, now. Unfortunately, this hustle in America is truly the downside and prevents you from taking the moment to savor each experience life has to offer.

How are the people there ?????

God bless you both
