My name is Caitlin.
I’ve never had a corporate job to quit.
As soon as I finished college in 2011 in the US, I went overseas. Sine then I have lived and traveled all over the world. My official homes have included Ireland, Vietnam, Australia, Czechia, England, and now - since 2021 - Portugal.
Everywhere I have been I have observed and absorbed everything around me.
I love seeing the beauty of the world and visiting famous landmarks, but I also don’t think there is much better than sitting down for a glass of wine in a foreign city with someone you’ve just met and learning their story.
All of my videos are a reflection of a very real, lived experience by me.
I am so glad we’ve found each other.

A day in my life as an American living in Portugal
That mist will not give you as effective protection as the portugese one.
Maybe us one has better spray but it definitely doesn't give you protection good enough like the ones you smear on your body so...
Hmmm. That's not been my experience. Thanks for sharing yours!
Ah, well to the rest of the world the continent you live on is referred to as the Americas. It would be like saying I am going to Africa when you are actually going to Gambia.
When you say "the rest of the world" where are you referring to exactly? There are many countries where if I tell someone I am from the US they don't understand until I say "America". So I'm guessing your experience of the rest of the world is limited somewhat.
@@thecountryjumper Oh yes very limited. I have not yet been to India Or Australia. But they are on my list. When I say the rest of the world, Obviously I mean someone not from the Americas. I knew I was going to have to explain this to an American as soon as I posted the comment.
Never... Never indeed
I think it's because areasol is bad for the environment.
Yep - but it's the easiest way for me to sunscreen my back when I'm alone.
Did you even shake it tho?
when have you ever had to shake it for it to come out the second way. I’ve never shaken mine and it always does the better one lol
@@McDonaldsFan22 Depends on the type of sunscreen in my casr
That doesn't matter
What is your Instagram ?
Parabéns👏👏. Por que você não faz vídeos em português para vermos como está seu progresso no idioma?
Keeping a pet requires about as much resources as raising a child. Not worth it, if you want to travel often.
Hahah not even close! I can leave a cat for the day or even overnight!
If only your parents would have made the same life choices. They could have saved us from this post... Just Saying think about it..👍
Not sure why someone’s else’s choice to not have kids has anything to do with you
Can you tell me a bit more about how you were raised that led you to be the type of person who had the thought to type out this sort of comment and then actually post and feel good about it?
@@kyleemeg2171 It was posted for the world to see..Da
@thecountryjumper Don't like comments then keep your opinions private..👍
I do 100% agree with your opinion to be clear. You should not have children. Cats yes..👍👍Goodluck
I live in the UK and have had fly screens on my windows and doors since returning from Australia in 2009. I cannot live without them
I don't understand how anyone does!
Makes sense let those people that are crossing live with you then
Crossing to where? Where am I? Guessing you're American thinking only about your own dumpster fire at home?
1°Pastel de nata,2° bacalhau,3° chouriço, iam from Portugal❤❤❤😂😂😂
Fair! Where do you live now?
If we had racial and cultural homogeneity then I can see there would be no need for borders but there's a reason why we have them.
We have borders so that certain people can feel superior to others
No matter where they're from, Women should learn how to use the stick...
No borders no masters 🏴🚩
Amen!
I doubt that there is a place on earth where everyone is nice, polite and helpful. Unfortunately there's always some folks that aren't friendly, had a bad day or jealous for whatever reason.
Question for you Cait, were you "cheating" by reading some text on your smartphone or did you remember the words? You must have some knowledge in Spanish, don't you? Anyway, that was quite impressive for 50 hours of portuguese. I've no doubts that You're gonna be fluent pretty quickly.
Want to share clouds I'd love to see Portugal sky. Ive lost dozens of phones. Humans at tik tok😂❤
Just found your channel looking forward to watching more of your videos, hello from Scotland 🏴 UK ❤
Thank you for being here!
está indo muito bem. sua pronuncia esta muito boa.
me inscrevi p me tornar o 100
Obrigada!
Sou brasileira Aprender português é difícil mas você fala muito legal o português. I'm a brazilian Learn portuguese is very hard but you can to speak it so cool
Sim! A pronúncia de Brasileira e muito mas fácil.
Maybe try a spray who have spf in it . I think it would be easier by just " pschit pschiting " u know ah ah
I'm hungry now, thank you
😆you're welcome!
What shampoo? Ketoconazole? Coal tar?
Ketoconazole!
Se me ajudar com o ingles te ajudo com o portugues ❤😮
Hey great info thank you! Does it work the same for antibiotics or antivirals? Do you know anything about emergency medical prices? Do people normally carry insurance?
I'm not sure about antibiotics/atnivirals as I haven't had to use them yet. However, I know that you can pretty easily get prescriptions written and then take them into any pharmacy when needed. If you have an emergency you will always be taken to the public hospital where costs are incredibly minimal if any. I carry insurance, a lot of people do, as it gives you access to the private system - truly the only difference is that wait times are so significantly lower.
Não é Portchugal, é Portugal mesmo 😂 good luck to you! Stay tuned! 😎
In the US, they tell us that if have access to all these drugs without going to the doctor for a prescription, we will all die. But in other places, they don't have to get a prescription and there are no significant problems. Either everyone in these countries are doctors, or Americans are just not as smart as people in most of the rest of the world. The odd thing is that we have the nerve to call the US "the land of the free." There's a great deal more freedom in countries that are less "free" but don't have governments owned by organizations like the AMA.
Muito bom, parabéns!
So safe to say visiting is way more enjoyable than having to work there?
For me it certainly was!
Yes I can identify an American by what they wear - their clothes are size XXXXXL
Partly but that isn't all of it. The UK, in general, has a higher sense of casualness than the US does, so what each country considers dressed 'up' and 'down' is quite different. What passes for business casual in the US would be considered sloppy in the UK.
As an American born expat living in Europe in excess of ten years, Americans could be correctly identified given their polyester clothing.
Interesting, I think that kind of cheap clothing is quite common everywhere now, no?
No it's not that. I am Dutch and went to college in the US. One day with a group of Americans i waa in Niagra Falls. We walked over the bridge to Canada. Thiszwas in the 90-ties. I was wearing a sweatshir, jeans and hking boots m8st of the otherxstudents were wearingsimilar outfits. But the borderl police picked me out of the group. I asked them how the were so sure, they couldn't tell me but it's just an aura.
I can identify Russian like that 😅😅😅 it's their fashion and face 😂😂😂😂
Well, you could compare teeth....
That is very true. American everyday wear is casual almost to a fault.
I went for a walk with my mum and my dog around our local castle one day and saw a family of four in shorts, tshirts, caps, trainers, and backpacks. It was a hot day and I was also wearing a cap, my mum was also wearing T-shirt and shorts, but their combo stood out so much. I immediately said to my mum “I bet they’re American”, and sure enough when they asked us to take their picture for them they had very strong American accents
It's so hard to put a finger on exactly what it is, right? Is it colors? Logos? Fit? All of it?
[Example] There are plenty of people in Sweden wearing this atleisure (?) clothing. Then there's the sweatpants/hoodie sets. And let's not forget the horrible "dad" sneakers. I was taught the following: Work out clothes - for work out, or, a leisurely stroll in the neighbourhood. Sweatpants/set - only for casual visits to family or very close friends. Sneakers - for all of the above. As my parents and grandparents used to say: No one wants to be around someone who went to the gym and thought it was appropriate to be around other people when it's clear they haven't even showered. (It doesn't matter if you actually went to the gym or not because athletic clothing equals work out in most people's minds, and you shouldn't make people feel uncomfortable around you, thinking you're a slob who can't even bother with personal hygiene.) Don't be rude. Don't flash bum or tits in public (for those who think leggings are pants and a work out bra is a top). But mostly, just have some self respect and don't dress like a bum or hooligan in public.
This is so wrong it’s laughable. I’m American and I now live in Sweden and no one assumes I’m American. People always speak to me in Swedish and are confused and taken aback when I say I’m from America. The few you can tell are obvious but most are not.
Athleisure is a ok.
Mexican here. Kakis and sandals.
The tourist uniform
Sometimes you can even tell if they are from the East Coast or West Coast
Ohh interesting, what do you think is the tell there?
I’m from the UK and wear sports clothes in my daily life. It’s not that. Americans have a certain vibe, same as euros do. You can just tell.
I'd say UK sports clothes are different to US but I see your point.
@@thecountryjumper I’m not a chav/road man…I don’t wear nike trackies etc. I wear 3inch gym shorts & vests, hoodies etc as I play roller derby and train so I’m lazy and it’s easy to just throw them on when I go to Tesco or down the shops for an hour. Even then it’s not specifically about the clothing, people just give off a certain feel and you can generally tell where they are from.
This is sooo true - I walked past couple the other day in Clapham Junction and before the even opened their mouths I knew they were American 🤣
Yes!
Wooow, that's crazy! I was in Prague as a student for 2 years and I loved that! I had no problem to make friends. But I understand that everyone has different experiences.
I think also being a student creates a lot more opportunity for natural friendships to happen.
I live in Barcelona and I went through a phase where I really wanted to fit in. I paid attention to what Catalan girls my age wore and then picked out a few of the typical things-dress pants, trench coat, shirts that are the cut that are popular-and I immediately noticed a difference. People stopped defaulting to trying to speak to me in English and it worked like a charm. I notice American tourists and they are easy to spot. I think even outside of athleisure Americans just...don't dress well? I think that a lot of Americans wear clothes that fit poorly. (Like the size is wrong, or the silhouette is very off balance, or the clothing is weirdly tight or baggy in strange places, the fit is just off.) A lot of them wear extremely informal clothes out and about. There's a lot of running shoes with random outfits-even button ups.
This!!! The fit 100% - they wear baggy clothes and a lot of them look a bit outdated like stuck a decade behind all the time.
I notice this big with men's formal wear. I feel like American men's suits are always so poorly fitted - I absolutely die dead at British weddings, those boys know how to wear a suit.
Polo!
