Can you share a link to the poker stream on YouTube you played in? Would love to watch that. Thanks!

Yannick Fortier

Beautiful video Dave, thank you very much for that.

Carole M

Thank you for the Nuri recommendation! My husband will be in Porto for work on Friday so I’m hoping he will find time to go

Danny C

I’ve wanted to make a similar move and I applaud your bravery and diligence. I will miss these dispatches from building a life abroad.

Donald Ward

Dave, do you happen to have a running list of Porto/Portugal food and general attraction recommendations? My brother is visiting there next week. Just curious.

David Chen

No but I’ll try to make one! Prob not before your brother gets here tho

Heads up: I think Joy might have revealed her real name in this episode (around 1:06:00)? I only bring it up becuase I know you guys have been protective of it in the past. Of course, this is a safe space, so maybe not a big deal. But just FYI in case you missed it or didn't realize. Great ep BTW, as always!

Donald Ward

No problem! Any one restaurant you’d say he and his partner would have to visit in their 4-day stay?

Robert Dufour

There is an entire podcast for you to make to discuss sox! I go years without buying new socks. Honestly, curious to learn more.

Joy o Napping

We talk about this in the next episode but we said Meia-Nau, especially Matosinhos location
