A summary of our experience closing down our US residence and heading to the EU on a scouting trip (to Portugal), to facilitate an overseas move. We talk about what prompted the move, how we went about the initial steps, what we experienced, and the results of the trip.

It was an amazing experience for us. Something we will look back on fondly for the rest of our lives. But in the end we decided to put off the full expat move (for now), and instead opted to do a part-time expat or slow travel approach.

We’ll have more videos coming as soon as our regular work slows down.

And in case you were wondering, our channel title "89 Days Away" refers to the typical 90-day visitor limit for staying in a country or area (such as the EU Schengen Zone) before having to become an official resident.

We try to maintain a lean, scaled back lifestyle in the US, and spend around 1/2 of our year living overseas as "slow travelers", within those time limits, to get the overall expat experience without having to become a full time resident of the foreign country.

Our channel started out talking about that lifestyle, but has morphed into other topics related to this stage of life that we find interesting.

We hope that you find the topics interesting as well.
