Why Retirees (Like Us) LEAVE Portugal

Half of expats who retire in Portugal decide to leave. We were one of them.
In this video, we discuss the big reasons we chose the Algarve region of Portugal for what we thought would be forever, and what made us decide to leave after a year.

After retiring in 2022 and traveling around the world in our first year, we decided to get our Residency Visa and settle in Portugal. While we continue to sing the praises of Portugal, we were not ready to be settled again.
