  6. Thank you so much for your generosity! Congrats on your move.
    I’m heading over next month to handle the early steps…NIF, bank account, apartment, and have thought about the Silver Coast as a place to settle (for now). It was great to read your detailed account.
    Obrigada!

  7. Bom dia Natalie,

    Just found your blog while I am researching my possible move to Portugal. Planning a 1 month reconnaissance in Feb.

    I look forward to reading about your experiences. Any suggestions you have are appreciated.

  8. I’m still considering it…..
    I visited in 2017 the northern coast and love the relaxed life.
    However, I’m already 74, female in good health. I doubt they would let me live in Portugal for longer than 6 months visa…
    How does a non contributing senior lady alone purchase a house and reside full time?

  12. Hey Natalie! Congrats on your retirement and great new life adventures! I was doing a commendation for a young black educator like yourself who was recently named Ohio’s Teacher of the Year. In my research, I saw your name and remembered, that’s right, Natalie did win that award too! Will always remember our days at EH&Co. you were truly inspiring then and even more now. So happy to know that you are living your BEST life. Take care!
