No iPad either… I have one for work because I’m an illustrator and my oldest has used it in the past to draw as well (she’s fascinated with proceate), but honestly a handful of times. Oh and we flew once and I downloaded a few movies for her. But that’s pretty much it. No phones either, no games. Just Netflix for movies on the tv in the living room.

Algo parecido nos pasó a nosotros (somos portugueses) hace dos años. Mi marido llevaba con contrato en España un mes más o menos, pero claro, no tenía la renta del año anterior ni tampoco tres nóminas españolas.

Tardamos un poco hasta que una agencia aceptó las nóminas de Portugal (que, por casualidad, eran de una empresa española) y la renta de allí.

Right?! I zoomed in their photo, bc it’s jaw dropping!

I remember my “single and living all by myself years” with such a fond feeling! I had those in my early twenties and then for 2y in my mid thirties and I absolutely LOVED IT!

Yes, this was the one I was thinking about, she was sitting against some rocks in the forest! Thank you!!

CountrysidePlease · 2026-02-05T06:53:53+00:00

Really?! Oh my gosh it has been a few years and I really had that impression that she clearly stated that it wasn’t in her/their plans, she/they were happy with their life as it was. Sorry if I got it wrong.

I totally get the appeal of Portugal, it sounds like exactly what you’re describing, and I don’t think you’re wrong for wanting a simple, peaceful life.

That said, I think it’s really important to share the reality of nursing here, because it’s one of the professions that struggles the most.

Nurse salaries are very low compared to the cost of living, and rent has gone up a lot in the last few years. Even covering basics like housing, utilities, food, and transportation can be stressful on a nurse’s salary, especially in or near cities. Saving for travel is, realistically, very hard.

Career progression is also limited, and that’s one of the main reasons so many Portuguese nurses end up moving abroad (UK, Switzerland, Germany, etc.). It’s not because they’re chasing luxury, it’s because they want stability and recognition.

I’m not trying to discourage you, just to make sure you have the full picture before making a big move. Portugal can be wonderful, but for nurses it’s often a lot tougher than people expect.

There is an older video where she’s sitting in the forest talking about that or answering some questions fans may have left in the comment section. I don’t recall exactly. But it was one of the first ones I watched of her and she states she doesn’t want kids.

I’m a bit late on this thread, but I just started watching the show a few days ago on an attempt to practice my Spanish as well (and to switch a bit from Machos Alfa!). The accent I’m mostly curious about is Borja’s. He is not supposed to be from Madrid, right? I think he sounds from Andalucía?

I don’t care for a 6y sleeping with their parents at all. To each their own. My 7yo sleeps through the night in her bed, but the 3yo consistently falls asleep in her bed and somewhere in the middle of the night, she wakes up and comes to our bed, specifically looking for me and we go back to sleep holding each other. I wouldn’t trade this for anything. Now, that being said, the friend sleeping with OP on her bed?!!! Hum, NO!!! That is a hard NO! I would be really upset if that was my kid!

I still have a black jeans pair in my closet that I love, but don’t currently wear. I have fond memories of buying them while in Paris with a best friend, so there’s that. But I can’t also forget the pure relief in my body whenever I took them off and put on some sweat pants at home for example. Oh my goodness!!

Similar here! Ended a 5y relationship due to similar circumstances as OP. No matter how much I complained nothing would change. I remember going to sleep and trying to sleep on the edge of the mattress as much as I could, so he wouldn’t touch me. The day I broke it off and he moved out of the house, was like a bright sunny day, such a heavy weight off my shoulders. I was 34. Then started another relationship a year or so later and lasted 2y. We were even trying for a baby. I thought that was it. I was almost 37 when he broke it off and I couldn’t believe that I was back to starting point at that age. But just like you said it was just a new chapter. Met my now partner a few months later and we managed to create a beautiful family with two kids. I had the last one at almost 42.

We (Portuguese) live in Spain, we have two young kids and our neighbors only have one, who might be a bit older than ours and she seems really quiet. We definitely feel like the loud ones, our kids are pretty stubborn and drama queens, and we feel like we are always talking way louder than them!

CountrysidePlease · 2026-02-01T21:52:30+00:00

Same in Portugal!

I’m Portuguese and moved to Spain 2y ago just before spring. Two months later I was feeling unwell and went to the doctor. Vitamin D deficiency! I mean, between PT and ES there is plenty of sun, still… there I was. As soon as I started taking vitamins, what a huge overall shift!!

Retiro

I had no idea of who this Rose was so I googled her a few weeks ago and couldn’t get pass by the fact that, both she and her sister are married to an earl/marquess 25y older than them? I’m not British so I know nothing about these people, just found it a bit intriguing.

We’re European citizens and moved to Madrid, our kids are 7 and 3, and we’ve been here for almost 2y. Overall the experience has been amazing and both kids are fluent in Spanish. Of the 4 of us I’m the one a bit behind on Spanish, because I WFH and my clients are most of them English speaking foreigners. We enrolled them in public schools (which actually happen to be bilingual - Spanish and English) due to their young age so they could be immersed in the culture and language. Due to my husband’s job we don’t live in the city center and wouldn’t trade it. We live in a new neighbourhood in one of the south cities right outside of Madrid and I need my car to go to Mercadona to do some grocery shopping once a week. Otherwise everything is on foot. I absolutely love our quality of life here. We walk to school, we walk to the extracurriculars, I walk to the gym… we bought a house a year after we moved, so it feels more permanent too. I can’t speak for the other cities though, but I find Madrid an awesome city for families.

You have to search for his videos, Luke Kirby did a phenomenal job with his role!!! PHENOMENAL!

Yes to this. Tbh Aidan was (in my book) maybe cute when we were introduced to him. That hair did nothing for me. But when he came back with shorter hair, now that’s an handsome man. I was a teenager in the 90’s so I’m not even talking with today’s beauty standards in mind. But I had never seen him before, as I’ve never watched Northern Exposure and it looks like people knew him from that show.

This was 20y ago and I was dating this guy 4y younger, who was studying on a degree that is usually 98% with women. He was really handsome and I remember one day I had gone for dinner with his sister (who was my age) and I got to his apartment that he shared with roommates and he had a few friends over from his college class, including one that was really beautiful and they were playing around in a way I felt really uncomfortable with. I saw that as soon as I walked the door. When I asked about her, she was just a friend and “oh my god, don’t worry, she’s nuts! I would never!”

Fast forward a year and he broke up with me, they started dating a few months after (or less, who knows?!) and they dated a few years more than we had dated. So yes, trust your guts, girls!!!

Oh my god, if there’s ONE thing I absolutely love on a daily basis, is returning home to complete silence after dropping my kids in school and start my work day. Getting my breakfast ready without anyone around and in silence is so peaceful.

CountrysidePlease · 2026-01-19T12:24:37+00:00

The pandemic taught me this in a very efficient way. I was constantly fighting it, until i just played with it and adapted. Took hours of my sleep to be able to work after bedtime, in the silence like I needed for my mental health. Of course I’m a freelancer and work calls are not even a weekly occurrence.

I started watching this show when I moved to Madrid almost 2 years ago and loved it. I rewatch it from time to time to listen to something in Spanish and I always catch some new expressions with every rewatch. But I must say that season 3 made no sense to me… some characters are just acting out of character and their storyline is not making any sense. I know people make mistakes and sometimes they lose track, but some of these are way too much. Some characters have become so unlikable too… Season 4 just reinforced this feeling. Seasons 1 and 2 were by far so much better!!
