I moved to Lisbon from London. Here's how that turned out
At the start of April I quit my job in London, packed all of my things into storage and booked a one way ticket out of the country. After 3 weeks in Montreal for the eclipse I moved from London to Lisbon, how did that turn out? It was probably one of the best things I've ever done. The best things in life don't last though 🙊 After leaving London without a plan, I now have one - at least a half-baked one. Here goes nothing!

    Thank you for this informative video. I have a question: Can I submit an online application form for a Youth Mobility Visa while I am in the UK, or do I need to be outside the UK to do so? I am okay with submitting my biometrics in Canada, which is my home country. Currently, I am in the UK on a different visa, so I want to know if I can submit the online application form from the UK and complete the process in Canada. Or do I need to be outside Canada even to submit the online form?

    • @LashanR

      Hi! You need to be outside the UK to apply for this, which I think means for the biometrics appointment not the online application, but you could apply from France or somewhere in Europe, you just need proof that you're legally allowed to be there (tourist visa is fine, just have scans/show the stamp in your passport as proof).

    Wow, this video was so good. Thank you for making it and uploading it. I love Portugal even though I haven't been there, I have heard so much good things about this country and I really want to visit there too one day. I also believe you so much when you say that food is delicious there and people are more spontaneous. I am like that too, and I love slow life too. I also love the fact that you are moving to France. I was there about a month ago and stayed in the suburbs (2 hours by train) of Paris. It was so magical. We stayed at a Chateau for 4 nights celebrating my friend's wedding ceremony. The Chateau was located in a very isolated village in west France near the city called Rennes. Loved it so much. It was so peaceful. I even spoke to some local people who live in those small villages and they told me how expensive it is to live there. You basically have to have a monthly income of 3500 euros on average to live there. So, pretty expensive. And about Paris, yes, very expensive too. When I spoke to the Uber driver, he told me that you need to be making about 3500 euros to live in Paris too. So, no matter where you live in France, Paris or a small town, it is going to be expensive and you have to be prepared for that. I mean it is France and it is beautiful and it is absolutely worth the money you spend there. Totally worth it. I LOVE FRANCE as well as PORTUGAL. :) About me: I am moving to Montreal in August. Also very expensive but it is more affordable than Toronto. Also, I hope to learn French there and hopefully, that will help me a lot in life in general. The language itself is so sweet and beautiful, isn't it? Love it. Anyway, have a nice time in Paris. I love it there, love the cute streets with little restaurants with delicious food. Enjoy your time there. :)

    nice review. two things. there is no question of "getting caught" by regional airlines (and as an Australian, a good example country, this should be very apparent). When you are going regionally (so w/in a country, there are smaller airlines...like between Melbourne and Sydney, or Tokyo to Osaka, or New Delhi to Mumbai, etc.) that have a VERY LIMITED weight limit - 7kg (a little over 15 pounds)....and every bag gets weighed (and increasingly, re-scanned) and this bag would scuttle your plans. Even if you got the weight down (a tried and true technique, at least in medium to cold weather, is to wear a jacket with lots of pockets and stuff all your weighty items into your jacket...which they don't weigh....but some places like in South and East Asia will also search your pockets, make you take things out and scan them through at multiple check points...so...a hassle...though not so in Australia and more western countries I guess), some airlines just look at it and say "no, too big, need to check it" or else have very very tiny metal cages that it needs to fit in, which this wouldn't. So you'll have to check this bag. I managed to avoided checking my one bag on my last one bag trip, BUT BUT BUT...I was traveling very light, I used the jacket stuffing method...and I cut down every gram/ounce (so there is a 28L Patagonia backpack I used that weights only 2 pounds....you'd need one of these vapor packs in these situations...and I didn't carry all the film gear etc that a long term one-bag nomad would need). This all said, I think this is a great backpack (though I don't love the "I'm just a student going on a field trip look", and prefer something a little more sleek, and sober, to fit my age), and I'm still struggling with carrying clothes for more formal occasions (and the holy grail...carrying shoes)....while there are work arounds with pack flat shoes etc, and roll up "reduced wrinkle" blazers and dress shirts.....it is very very nice to have decent clothes if you are going to a business meeting, or more formal event so you don't feel like a sweaty tourist traveler. Also, if you have arrived at a location, I am starting to want another smaller daypack (I have been packing a rolled up canvas messenger bag) so I can have supplies, batteries, places to put all the books and baked goods etc I end up buying during a day out.....and this again weights you down and adds to the load.....Lastly....I highly support one bag travel.. I've found it makes zero sense if you are only going to one place for a week, or even not really necessary if you are going on a two week trip, for example, and you will be using 2-3 cities as a base for side day trips...where you can just take a wheeled carry on and park it at the hotel (this saves your bag). But if you have a sort of open-ended agenda...and want the freedom to pop around on a whim...then one-bagging is VERY nice, because (unless you've overpacked and weighed down your shoulders...which is a big risk for 40L backpacks...I'd keep it 30L and under for that sort of travel) you can just zip from train to plane to boat to subway to dinner to bookstore to long walks taking pictures...and its just a constant companion backpack that is along for the journey. ALSO - you don't really need the voltage converter (which is heavy) since all typical electronics like phones and backpacks have it built in...just need a dumb (light) plug adaptor...you only need the weighty adaptor for hair dryers and things like that. Lastly - I've found the noise cancelling on the ipods is so good that I don't need to pack a larger pair of headphones (but I agree noise cancelling is critical for flights I've found). Lastly Lastly - I don't pack more than 3-4 days of capsule clothes....I like to do laundry locally (for the most part, might not work in some places) by going to a laundromat - I find it helps to see the locals and get into the groove of a place...and makes you really feel like you've experienced it (like somewhat recently had a laundry morning scheduled, was in Melbourne, went to Fitzroy area and put in the laundry into a machine, then strolled around having some good coffee and pastries...etc etc...)...so don't pack to much clothing for longer trips. For 1 week trips, I'd just pack all my clothes since I'll be using a wheeled carry on anyway.

    • @LashanR
      @LashanR 2 месяца назад

      I've used this backpack with the same packing setup and gotten away with it on Sydney to Melbourne via Jetstar, who do their absolute best to scare you into weighing your bag at every point and tap into your anxiety, and I still managed to get away with it. On the way back was with Rex which was more chill, but then on the way/through to the Philippines I was on Cebu Pacific which has some really small planes with exposed propellers, I got away with it every time but that propeller plane had slightly smaller overhead storage which made fitting it a challenge, but possible. It's a risk you take but if you're smart about it you can avoid the extra fees, and the times you get caught in my experience don't outweigh the savings made by getting away with it. For clothing yeah this is what works for me, one-bag digital nomadding with the stuff I personally want to bring will come with some sacrifices, there's never gonna be a one pack fits all.

    Canada is one of the worst choices….its difficult to find housing, healthcare is super crap and even worse…not sure of you did your research. But I bet you will be moving out of Candy soon and move elsewhere.

    Spaniard living in London for 6 years now. Arranging the move as I type this message. Leaving in mid May. London has drained me so much I have no clue what to do next. I need a proper break back home to reflect on things and gain some clarity. PS. You're right about my country, way too bureaucratic.

      no entiendo por que no se va a Australia. Es un pais muy rico, buen clima, salarios super altos. Lo unico malo es para viajar, pero bueno a 10 horas tienes a toda Asia que tambien es guai

    One thing I use with the reisistent band is that they are super handy as a DRYING RACK! If you stay in a hotel, or a place without a drying rack, you can hook it onto chairs, door handles etc. to make a make shift drying rack. You could fit a fair amount of clothes on it.

    Hello! Your video just pop up in my feed and I woundering if its possible to live comfortable in Montreal visout knowing french, just english? To make simple stuff such as going to the shops, to the cinema, to the doctor? also finding a job without knowing the French language?

      Hi Daria! I have a bunch of videos about my experiences with this on my channel, it is possible to live in Montréal without french but it is very difficult, jobs are quite limited as most places require french fluency, in my experience the only ways around this are if you work in entertainment, or in the tech industry. I've heard from friends that jobs working in the backs of restaurants/non-customer facing will also let you work in just english - highly recommend learning french as fast as possible if you intend on moving here

    Bro, I wish I had your courage, and wish I could give you my passport so you can make better use of it. It really hit me when you say all those things about London, especially the lonely part, anyway my situation is much better than other people I know of on that front, I guess, but still. All the best man 🤝💪. BTW, it's Alejandro from bachata, lol.

      And shorts, yep - I've travelled with way more in the past and carried "oh yeah I'll wear this on special occasions" or "yeah i could wear this too" type clothes and then never worn them so 😅 I know what I like, this is what works for me.

    It’s good to hear life updates from this channel. Stumbled upon your videos when I was on the fence about leaving my hometown of Toronto to MTL and I’m a lot happier here. Rooting for your success and hope our paths cross

    I had been an avid fan of Johnny Harris, and through his channel BrightTrip, came to know. I really like the way you present your Insta stories and capture the moments. Maybe a traveller Vlogger can work for you? In anycase wish you the best Lashan🙌🏽

    I carried a power strip and got confiscated inside my carry-on. Is there a consideration on what power strip specification is safe for carry-on?

    • @LashanR
      @LashanR 4 месяца назад

      Sorry to hear that - I looked this up and there doesn't seem to be any specific rule about this, so you might have gotten unlucky with an officer. That said, everything I've packed is able to be charged via USB, including my laptop, and in case I do need it there is one universal plug on my adapter. How many power points do you need?
