The very same thing hit me - it was a deep realization

Felt the same watching them slather cement over all those stonewalls rather pointing with lime mortar.

Yes, I agree 100%. More and more people are realizing the same, that life is about freedom and adventure, and are going out of the cities. I love that and I believe that it is the way to change the world and free ourselves.

@@gracecollins8415 yep....

What a blessing people were to you. Yes, tearing up

yeah uk is the pitts now - esp with the sun blocking theyre doing even more than ever - I see blue skies in this video - dont remember what theyre like - I so wanna move but dont know how

Come to Australia, no language barrier, blue skies nearly every day, beautiful beaches...choose your temperature environment ranging from very cold to tropical to semi arid to arid. We have it all. Anywhere off the coast and away from the big cities is very affordable. Come visit first but plan to spend at least a month. Australia is a huge place and you need to experience a lot of zones. Recommended in Late Spring (ie your late autumn) Land in Hobart...Tasmania trip around for 5 days followed by Victoria... spend a week crossing towards the Victorian and South Australian border to Mildura. Then across to the wine country in South Australia (The Barossa). On the way visit Lake Mungo with its sand lunets...amazing. Travel back through the outback (only) a day either side. ...visiting Broken Hill, heading back east to Dubbo then up through the back highway to Toowoomba. Fly north to the Atheton tablelands, see Rockhampton then fly back home from Brisbane. You will have experienced all of the zones in this trip and will have seen about 15% of the country. Just make sure you do it outside the Rainy seasons of winter and summer. Winter in the cooler regions and summer in the hotter regions of Qeensland. So Spring or autumn here but Spring is prettier in my opinion....everything is bursting into life. So early April or Early October

Living expenses are a lot higher in Australia then in Portugal.@@nellieblighhill4575

​@@nellieblighhill4575Unfortunately for us Brits, the visa requirements for both Australia and New Zealand are very strict. For starters, they don't really want anyone over the age of 50 and you need relevant skills according to their current skill shortages listings, or you have to be an entrepreneur with a transferable business, or simply very rich (a minimum amount to invest in the country's economy 'every' year. And it is no small amount!) If I could motivate my husband to get out of Britain, we had pots of money, and there was a job waiting for our son who still lives with us, I'd be packing our bags now, I can assure you of that. Britain is getting worse by the week, and our politicians focus on stupid things while the 'real' problems get more and more out of hand. (For instance: fighting broke out between French police, people smugglers and migrants as they fought to get into boats and cross the channel very recently. This is what we have coming our way right now, every day - violent, vindictive young men prepared to attack and kill each other turning up by the boatload on our beaches. Our politicians? I don't even know what they're doing any more. Nothing at all it seems. Even worse, here in Scotland, we've had our rights to freedom of speech taken away from us by what is supposed to be the Scottish Nationalist Party. A bunch of spineless wimps more like. Personally, I would urge potential tourists to stay well away from this country and to make the effort tell our national tourist board why you're doing so. I don't holiday in England any more because once I was accused of doing something I absolutely did not by one of these 'newcomers,' the proprietor of the business we were patronising so spineless she reimbursed the other party and tore a strip off me ( yes, I objected, but she just continued accusing me in front of the 'newcomer.') Then, only 2 weeks ago, another of these newcomers, muttering prayers, walked slam into me, as if I wasn't there, his eyes out of focus like he was on something. No apology, even though he walked right across my path and into me. We're hearing the updates of yet another who stabbed a young mother; he has just been picked up and arrested by police. He'll be out in a few years. Our justice system is as soft as those who eagerly hand out tax-paid cars, phones, interpreters, houses, etc to those stepping off the boats. I think there will be an exodus of Brits over the next few years, but only among younger working people, those with active profitable businesses that can offer employment in their target country. The pensioners and infirm will be left behind to survive as best they can in an ever threatening environment, unless they can bring wealth with them. I've been looking around at the prospect of emigrating for a few weeks now, and none of the countries that I would consider are willing to consider pensioners with our sort of wealth level. (I'm not in debt or drowning in mortgage, but I most certainly can't invest the equivalent of hundreds of thousands into another economy 'every' year). So, don't visit. Poor old mother England isn't worth your time any more.

I think about that every time I see young people doing difficult things like this - including traveling. We could do this once...no more.It goes by so fast, doesn't it? 🍃🌱🍃

Thank you!!

Not youth….grit and determination

am sure its always worth it..am about to start this journey with my 5 years old boy..the fear of the unknown but i wount let that stop me
