    About us: We are from the USA and have moved to the beautiful Island of Madeira in Portugal. We are very grateful to have this opportunity. We have put together this channel to talk about our journey. We hope to help you with yours.
    Have you ever thought about giving up on the American Dream? Well we finally decided to do just that. We chose to downsize our life into one we could afford in retirement. And that has taken us across the world.
    Are you thinking about moving abroad, becoming expats or immigrating? Or maybe you are moving to Portugal or Madeira Portugal. Each week we talk about our journey to retirement, in moving to Portugal, moving to the Island of Madeira and our new experiences. We also answer questions from our viewers!
    In case you do not know, the Madeira Islands are in the Atlantic Ocean about 325 miles west of Morocco and 625 SW of Lisbon.

    We loved Porto Santo 😎! Walking the beach from one end to the other (where there's a restaurant) and back was a highlight. We were there in November though, and made the mistake of assuming the ferry ran daily. We needed to return on the day it didn't run so had to fly, so check the schedule when planning your trip.

    In Porto Santo I spent part of my summer vacation together with my godparents, between bathing, eating, taking a nap, walking on the beach and swimming again, we spent the day on the beach and other times we walked around the island, we ate on a picnic somewhere quiet and relaxing and that despite being just a child, he adored the tranquility and the beautiful views of that little island..., he missed it a lot. Another detail is the ferry in which we went to Porto Santo, it was a small ship called "blue pirate" it was a canoe compared to the current one and I always got dizzy on the way out but never on the way back

    Hello Alan, i have a funny story about Porto Santo. I live in Madeira island and my wife is from Porto, where my inlaws live. When i met my wife and got maried, we used to go to the Algarve cause my father in law had a time slot at a 5 star resort near Albufeira that he could use 2 times a year, usualy at easter and summer. I always loved the Algarve but it became quite pricey even not having to pay for acomodations. About 10 years ago my father in law decided that the family vacations would be in Porto Santo. Now, has a Madeira native i've been to Porto Santo several times before and always loved the beach, but i thought the lack of diversity on places to go since it's a tiny island would be a negative item for my father in law, cause he was always up and about. Boy was i wrong!! My father in law fell in love with Porto Santo and quit Algarve alltogether. He said and i quote, "there is no place in the world that has such golden sand beaches, warm sea water and such peace and quiet like Porto Santo, and all of that just 1 hour and half from the mainland Europe, a paradise cheaper than Algarve, the best beach in Europe". Since that year, all our family vacations are in Porto Santo, always on august, and never went back to Algarve.
