You seem to be such a nice guy. I'm glad that you liked to live here and hope that we have treated you the best way possible. It is incredible how well you know our country. Next time you should visit Açores, one of the most beautiful group of islands in the world. I smiled a lot because you described ourselves so good! Greetings from Portugal...
So interesting for a portuguese like me to hear your version! Thank you so much for the words :)
well...apartments only in 2-3% of territory, only big cities have a lot of apartments!!
I lived in Tomar. 2011\12. I'm in Texas now. Even listening to Elder Smith breaks my heart. Before you die, go to Portugal.
so cool....i live in Lisbon,and i ever wished to visit america,specialy texas...it"s a dream i hope i can make come true before i die.
I can help you come to america. Maine is nice too.
You serious mr Kent Silkey?What is need to go to America?I guess,it"s just my hunch,that now with all this terrorism in Europe,it maybe harder for an european citizen can enter in america,in tourist travel or to get a job.I was born in UK,but i was raised in Portugal.I"m not and i am no muslin or arabian descendy. I am 100% European.
I'm glad you liked to Portugal. my country is still a small paradise in this world increasingly complicated. I agree that the island of Madeira is a pearl in the Atlantic
Now you know why Ronaldo has strong legs.
i love the way he talks about Portugal, my beautiful country
As a Portuguese man that has lived in 4 different cities, this is a very reductive view of my country. I have no idea where you've been, but my guess is you just spent time in one city (probably Lisbon) and I can assure you that's not a valid overview of the country... it goes as saying that Portugal is all beach... Please, if you wanna provide a proper view of Portugal, please get a little bit into our history, our food, our landscape from north to South... Visit Guimarães, Porto, Coimbra, Lisbon, Evora, Beja and Faro... all of these have their own lifestyle, food and culture.
***** Of course the islands count... I just found his comment and remark inappropriate and incomplete as a full example of the Portuguese culture
Ele tem outros vídeos a falar de Portugal por isso não é só esta a opinião dele
Im portuguese and I never leaved madeira
infelizmente os de fora só conhecem a "capital"...
SimKivi Felizmente, nos ultimos anos, o Norte tem ganho muito terreno quanto a turismo, ao ponto do Porto se ter aproximado (e em alguns casos eclipsado) de Lisboa. Ainda assim, Porto e Lisboa continuam a ser uma visão redutora de Portugal enquanto país. De salientar, sou Portuense e extremamente bairrista :D
You are so kind! Thank you. Oh and your smile is so so nice!
"Most people live in apartments"
lol
not really
not really at all lol
XD mais ou menos eu vivo numa vivenda mas tem mt amigos meus em apartamentos etc
Eu também vivo numa casa, e também já vivi em apartamentos. Há imensos apartamentos, mas é seguramente um esticanço enorme sugerir que isso o é ao ponto de ser uma característica, por assim dizer. Torna-se evidente que o autor teve conhecimento limitado de Portugal (e não tem mal nenhum!).
exato!
Thank you for your description and kind words of Portugal
I really liked seeng this video. This person really loved to stay in my country and Im very happy.
This guy needs to come back to Portugal
Amazing channel. Well done! We really enjoyed it.
As a portuguese, I loved to hear your view on my country. Glad you enjoyed it so much!
You got it all right, super cold in winter and extremely hot in the summer!
So True...Thank´s from Portugal... Kisses!
Well, I am glad you loved it and hope you get to came back for a more extensive visit. There is still lots of land in the interior that you just need to see, its truly amazing to live in a country were you experience snow up north and after a 4h drive to the south you are on a beach warmed by Africa winds. Even in winter we can get a bit of a tan, lol. And we are going even more humbler as land in the interior can be bought cheap and living off the grid is becoming a huge deal here, for locals and foreigners.
hey i live in lagos and its awesome :) ty for mention it
I love Portugal... and
Portuguese woman!

The food in Portugal is godly and the fubol is fun
I am from Madeira. thank you man
I'm not sure what city he stayed in, everyone Iv met owns a dryer and the houses are a lot like in America.
i am portuguese and i live in portugal is that normal?
Visit Guimarães!!! Where Portugal was born... The most important city in the country
7:25 HMMM BOIII "obviously he wasn't there cause HE IS RICH" PARVALHAO there's rich people there too,there not all broke Jkjk I love you you're so nice and I appreciate your existence
Entrei na Faculdade de Letras em Lisboa CARALHO!!!!
+NoctisZeroWorld PARABENS
+Francisco Santos Obrigado xD
You should go to Porto! It's amazing.
yeah we are small...but have a great heart
Thanks for the video. What are you doing in Portugal? I'd love to live there but it's hard to as an American
Gabriela Melgar,no isn"t...do you already tried??
no i haven't tried. Just saying from the research ive done
It"s not that hard,really.You can come as a tourist and with your resumee,you can look for a job,so you can relocate to Portugal,if you want.Beside,the USA embassy it"s in Lisbon,so you can contact the embassy of your country any time you need.
Omg, this is so cute. It's amazing how accurate this description of my beautiful amazing country is ( for a foreigner but still). I loved this!
Im just glad that this has been seen by few people but he's probably been in a small city or something along those lines. Bigger cities are nothing like what he says. It's frankly disappointing.
Mention the safety, being on of the safest countries in the world, the open mindedness, the fact that it's a modern country that welcomes and speaks English almost nationwide.
Meanwhile he's mentioning the height of the shower...
And yet Brian Adams lived in portugal that's why his song,the Summer of 69
Madeira is the best ❤. love Portugal. Tenho Muito orgulho em ser Portuguesa
definitely enjoyed hearing you speak, great video! however, as a portuguese myself, and having lived in london for 7 years, the way you talk about portugal makes it seem very 3rd world-ish. there are a lot of rural areas in portugal, our economy also isn't the strongest, but if someone from the u.s. visits any big city in portugal i'm sure it won't feel that way, it's a developed country like most others. (we are also the 5th most peaceful country in the world!)
Props from Tomar :)
Visão muito redutora e pouco realista. Eu vivi alguns anos nos EUA. Casas pequenas e sem isolamento? As nossas casas na sua maioria, e tendo em conta a casa média de cada um dos países, são maiores com melhores acabamentos e materiais do que as vossas. Basta visitar os vossos apartamentos e ver quão minúsculos são, com divisões e principalmente cozinhas que parecem uma amostra comparadas com as nossas. Almoços de 2 horas? Onde? Gostava de ver isso. Não deitamos as moedas fora é verdade, seria ridículo se o fizéssemos, pois temos moedas ate 2 eur, enquanto vocês têm notas a partir de 1 dollar, mesmo assim é um pouco estúpido deitar dinheiro fora. Numa coisa concordo, somos mais humildes e poupados que vocês. Não é necessário ser ultra consumista e gastador em exagero, como vocês, para ter um bom nível de vida. Tomaram vocês perceber a vida é ter a capacidade de a viver como nós. Nos anos que estive nos EUA notei um grande afastamento entre as pessoas, muita dificuldade nos relacionamentos sociais e um enorme refúgio das pessoas no consumismo exagerado para terem algum prazer nas suas vidas. Olhe, se realmente esteve em Portugal faça um pequeno esforço e tente ver as coisas como realmente são e não como gostaria que fossem. Um abraço de um português que tem todo o gosto em voltar a recebe_lo.
4:13 es um pao ;)
This is so true!
are you from portugal
I m in Portugal but want to stay USA help me dude .??
Trust me you don't. America isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Vasting I live in Canada and spend some time in Portugal. In America, there is no free healthcare, so you will have to pay 6 thousand dollars if you break your leg, there is no free education in America either and it's also really dangerous. There are also 0 mandatory vacation weeks.
SolarPenguin Eh, you're just exaggerating. And no one is entitled to a vacation.
Vasting I'm not exaggerating at all.if you break your leg you will have to pay around 6k on average. And if you get shot you will pay 200 thousand dollars. There is no free education. So only the rich can go to university. Nothing was over exaggerated.
Vasting and add up the bills over the years.
I'm portuguese
Tomar ❤️❤️
