Welcome Fellow Travelers
Over 65 Living and Traveling in EuropeHi, I am Nicke Barefoot. My partner, Thomas Fitzgerald, and I have done some traveling in Europe in the past and have loved it. In 2022 we were traveling in Portugal and were denied our return to the USA because of a positive COVID test. We ended up staying for almost a month in Portugal, met a lot of wonderful people, enjoyed different parts of the country, and decided that we would move to Portugal as part of our retirement. We are both over 65 years old, but we have a lot of zest left in our lives.
The purpose of this site is to offer our adventures both in travel as well as moving to Portugal to others that may be interested in the same.
Travel In Europe
We have travelled in Europe many times. Here, we will share our travel experiences with you in some videos and slideshows. These stories are only about the places that we went and are meant to remind us what we enjoyed in each place.
Moving to Europe
Moving to Europe is in adventure in itself. Here, we will go in to detail about the process involved in moving. We picked Portugal for many reasons, which we will also explore in our stories. There will be many “How To” stories, but that is not to say that these are the ONLY ways to do these things. These stories are about how we did them and the additional challenges we faced with being over 65 years old.
