“We feel safer here.”

After just a few months in Portugal, that’s one of the first things Dev and Norah told us.

In this interview, they share their experience moving from Los Angeles to Portugal’s Silver Coast, adjusting to retirement, learning Portuguese, navigating culture shock, and building a new life abroad.

As an LGBTQ+ couple, they also talk about feeling welcomed, accepted, and comfortable in their day-to-day lives here in Portugal.

It’s an honest conversation about the realities of moving abroad, both the challenges and the rewards.

The full interview is now live on our YouTube channel. Link in bio.

Most people start their Portugal move searching for houses but what they quickly realize is that choosing a home is only one piece of the puzzle. 🧩

Today we’re in Vila Nova de Cerveira with clients exploring not just a property, but a lifestyle.

💭 What does daily life feel like here?

💭 How far are the services they need?

💭 Can they picture themselves living in this community five years from now?

These are the conversations that matter long before any paperwork is signed. One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned after helping thousands of people relocate is that the right home starts with the right location, and the right location starts with understanding how you want to live.

That’s why we spend so much time helping clients experience Portugal before making major decisions. Every scouting trip, every property visit, and every conversation brings people one step closer to finding the place that truly feels like home.

The north of Portugal stopped us in our tracks today. ✋

We spent the morning in the Viana do Castelo area scouting one of the most beautiful pieces of property we have seen in a long time. Two houses, a pool, south facing views across the mountains and the city below. The kind of place that makes you go quiet.

The Minho region does not get talked about enough. It is green and lush year round, full of medieval towns, ancient vineyards, and a pace of life that genuinely slows you down in the best way. Viana do Castelo sits where the Lima River meets the Atlantic, with a stunning historic center and a warmth that just feels different up here.

If a real family property with space, beauty, and serious value is what you are looking for, the north of Portugal deserves a spot on your list.

This is exactly why we do what we do. There are places here that will take your breath away, and we want to help you find yours. 🏡🫵

Maybe you’re handing the big questions to AI. It answers what you bring it, but not the ones you don’t know to ask. That’s where our relocation experts step in.

We start with what actually shapes a life here: the neighborhood, the pace, the people, the small things that turn a country into a home. Lifestyle first, then regions, then towns, so you land somewhere that already feels right.

We’re a team of relocation specialists based here in Portugal who answer your messages by name. Five years in and more than a thousand people guided home, we know exactly where the process gets hard.

This is the real value of expert advisors that guide you through the complex steps of the relocation process. Investing in an experienced team of advisors saves you from making costly mistakes in the future, the kind that quietly cost you money, months, and peace of mind.

Could you do this alone? Maybe. Can AI help? Yes. What our team adds is a move that feels exciting instead of overwhelming, so your energy goes where it belongs: the peaceful, beautiful next chapter you’ve been picturing. With the right people beside you, Portugal becomes what it should be: the peaceful, beautiful next chapter you’ve been picturing. Exciting, not overwhelming.

The new EU e-gates were supposed to make airport entry faster. They have not launched smoothly.

Our CEO of Portugal The Place just broke this down on last night’s webinar, and if you have travel in or out of Portugal planned this year, this is worth a watch.

Long lines in Lisbon, Amsterdam, France, and across other EU entry points. Colleen herself got caught in one in March heading out to England. This is happening anywhere these new e-gates have been installed, especially for travelers crossing in or out of the EU.

The practical takeaway: give yourself more time at the airport than you normally would. It’s not a reason to stress about your move or your travel plans, just something to plan around.

Have you run into this yet? Drop it in the comments. It really helps everyone in this community who’s planning a trip or a move to hear what people are actually experiencing.

We host a free webinar every month on the last Sunday. If you missed last night’s, come hang with us at the next one. https://streamyard.com/watch/uqW2K6eNbXKJ

We sat down with Claude and Penny recently and just let them talk. Eight months living in Portugal, welcomed by their community, embraced a whole new life, and when we asked if they had any regrets the answer was not even close to yes.

What got us was how they described needing someone here. They were ready to make the move but they couldn’t be in Portugal in person to go through the house hunting process. They needed a team they could trust to actually show up for them, not just tick boxes. What really hit us was when they said Portugal The Place wasn’t just looking for any place for them. Our team wanted to find the right place. That is the difference here at PTP & that is what we pride ourselves in.

Now they are our neighbors and we get to see them out and about and it just never gets old. This community that keeps building around us is everything. 🇵🇹

If this is the year you stop thinking about it and actually do it, let’s talk. First call is free. We are here. Link in bio. 🔗

ALSO, check out Claude & Penny’s full journey on our Youtube channel. From Oregon to the Silver a coast of Portugal, it’s a wonderful story! 🎥
