I left Maui...
Hi guys, I hope you are all doing well. Sorry for being absent on KZread, but life has been really crazy these past couple of weeks! I wanted to catch you up on what's been going on. Now that things have settled, I'm back to posting weekly! Sending you much love.

Life is actually the longest thing we have. We just have to be clear on what we want and the decisions we take :)
After 30 years living in Solo (small city in Central Java, Indonesia) where my big family lives, I assured my husband to move outside, he chose Bali. Now, as we turned 40 last year, we (& my 10-yo-daughter) will finally move to Bali on next September! New house, new environment, new adventure, new jobs. U only live once :)
As Portuguese, it is mind blowing to think that someone living in Maui would move to Portugal, especially since so many people here want to move out. It really makes me appreciate more my country. Portugal is so rich in culture and nature, from the coast to the mountains. I wish you the absolute best and for sure I will be following you to keep up with your new experience. 😊

The one time i’ve been robbed was in the Algarve,Lagos, at knifepoint, by a gang of punks, because I mistakenly thought it was safe to walk around late at night in a resort town, so anybody who goes there, be careful.

I am Portuguese and it’s so amazing to see someone talk like that about my home country ! It’s makes me even want to go more and explore because I am really fortunate to have been born in this beautiful country. I got chills watching the video , makes me want to go where my heart tells me to go and not be so afraid of everything . Thank you 🤍

I am portuguese, too, and felt exactly the same! So flattered and delighted to see Portugal being so appreciated and I must admit that I was not expecting that Portugal would be the choice. I love Sophie's videos and felt specially inspired by this one and really fortunate for our home country 💚
As a Russian who moved to the USA 10 years ago to start a new life on my own - I can relate. It’s been a tough journey but with a lot of great things. And now I’m a US citizen thinking about “what is next” 🙃 Wishing you all the best!

I have visited Portugal twice. It's not that far, I'm European. But it was so great. The country is amazing and the people incredibly friendly. I think that Europe will resonate with your mindset a whole lot more than the US. Best of luck! It's gonna be great!
Wow I did not expect this but I’m so excited for this new chapter in your life. I’ve never been to Portugal but it’s definitely on my list. I really hope you guys get all your paperwork to go 💛

@@MalamaLife welcome to Portugal, it's a amazing country, full of history, beautiful places, amazing food and a slower life.
I just found your you tube channel. Maui has been my home since 1976. I just came back from a 3 week vacation in Portugal so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that this is where you will be moving to. I totally understand as I felt exactly the same way...I love it there for all the reasons you mentioned and more! I will be curious to see how you manage to do this as u.s. citizens. I didn't think it was an easy thing to do.🤔 If I were 30 years younger I would be doing the same thing! I love Maui but it feels so dull after experiencing the vibrant life in Portugal...the dining al fresco, the fascinating culture, architecture and people so full of life! Wishing you the best with your move. Aloha!🌈
Hi Sophie 🌸 Congratulations to you both on this exciting new adventure that awaits in Portugal 🎊🎉 In the meantime enjoy your time in San Francisco and other places you visit. Well Done to you both 📣👏🏾 And never apologise, you are practicing what you preach in that you are living life and being present, it is always a privilege to listen/watch the story and journey, even if you are sharing it weeks or months later. Stay safe and well 💖👑

Go for it, life is short as it is! God bless you both!
What everyone already said before me. This is amazing! Awesome to be embracing adventure! So much easier when there are no material things to weigh you down with attachments! I struggle with this even as I slowly but surely let most of it go so I can be free to travel and enjoy what matter, life! Thanks for inspiring me and so many others! Safe travels and blessings to both of you.
I feel excited for you Sophie. Another chapter to look forward to!
It’s so cool to realize that Portugal is so appreciated, even by those already living in paradise. I’m very happy for you and hope you enjoy Portugal even more. The best way to practice your Portuguese is of course by talking to locals. But you’ll soon realise that everyone will want to speak English with you to make you feel more welcome 😅. Have a safe journey! Hugs from Portugal
So excited for you two. You've been inspiring so many of us. Keep doing what's best for you. We support you! Xoxo
I know that feeling when you travel somewhere new and feel at home... You even start to miss that place as if you are truly from there. Its powerful the connections we make as humans. Congratulations to your new chapter and on your journey, I look forwards to seeing how Portugal influences your growth 💚💚💚
So happy to have you back here Sophie and congratulations on your next chapter in this amazing adventure, I can't wait to see what comes next.
I’m so excited. Thanks for taking us with you. I can’t wait to see all the adventures.

I’m excited for your new adventures. I feel the same way, I love to experience different cultures and meet people in all walks of life. Thanks for inspiring us ❤️
i knew something big was happening, this is so exciting! i've been to Portugal, and my parents cannot stop talking about how they want to move there when they become empty nesters. our fav parts of Portugal was the north city of porto and the southern parts like lagos! so excited for these new videos!
I am portuguese and it was such a surprise to hear you talking about Portugal! Thank you 💙

So happy for you to find the path!!! is beautiful in Maui ,but home is where you feel good!! Hopefully you will continue to post videos about your new life~!!!

Hi Sophie :) To me, you are like my sister that I look forward to for the life's wisdom. For that, I am grateful. I wish you all the best for the moving transition and enjoy the road trip. I'm excited to see what life has for you and your little family in this new chapter of your life.
So happy for you and your husband! I appreciate you and your videos. They are meaningful and I use them to contemplate my own life and how I live it. Thank you Sophie. With deep gratitude ❤️
You are seriously inspiring, girl! Everytime I watch your videos, I feel like I need to do something that I love too! Thanks a lot! All the best ...
Congratulations Sophie. Wish you all the best. My wife and I are doing the exact thing. We are headed to Madeira to start our new chapter. We also fell in love with Portugal on our first trip. So excited for you both. God bless
Sophie, I am thrilled for this new and exciting chapter in your life. I smiled throughout the video because you remind me of myself. I, too, feel drawn to living abroad and I am finding a way to get there, albeit slowly. I’ve always seen myself living in The Netherlands countryside. I want to just live there already after watching your video! I appreciate you being so open about what your values are on this channel, it reminds me of my own, which are quite similar to yours. Be safe and I’m looking forward to your Portugal journey!
Omg this is exciting news Sophie! I visited Portugal two months ago and totally fell in love. Congratulations!
I´m portuguese but i´m currently living in Denmark. Right before you said Portugal i thought that was Portugal and i just shed a tear. Portugal it´s a special place. I hope you enjoy it ❤
A new chapter in life will be exciting for the both of you. Looking forward to more videos of your new chapter. Good luck and enjoy!
How cool! Looking forward to hearing more about your new chapter.
This is going to be such an amazing journey and I'm really excited to see it! I don't know anything about Portugal so it'll be fun to see glimpses of the culture. It's incredibly inspiring to see you two take such a brave leap forward 💙
Wow. That's amazing. Good luck on your new adventures Sophie.
I wish you all the best in every step you make!
I am so surprised but at the same time SO excited for you! I think you’ll absolutely love living in Portugal, it’s very similar to Greece and I love living here :) Looking forward to seeing your new adventures!
I'm so happy for you! You're very brave for leaving your comfort for something new. I hope you enjoy Portugal, greetings from Spain 🥰
I'm so proud of you both for taking a chance to change. I will always follow you in your journey. Stay safe and be Blessed
I have always longed to move far, far away from where I live. Portugal is the country my mom is from, so this really resonated with me. I wish you all the best with getting your visas approved. I can’t wait to hear where this all goes from here for you both.🌟
What a beautiful transition you’re making! I can’t wait to see your filming skills explore Portugal 🇵🇹!
Wishing you and your husband alongside with the adorables dogs a great, happy, prósperos and wonderful new chapter! All the best from London 🙂
So exciting! 😍Good luck!!
I am so happy for you and your husband, sounds so exciting, life is about adventures So happy you get the opportunity to do it, I will be anxiously awaiting to read about Your travels 🌹
It’s nice that you are living life on your own terms. It looked like you were tearing up toward the end of the video - I’m sure these big changes are emotional and exciting at the same time. Thanks for sharing with us and best of luck!
Looking forward to showing us your journey in Portugal!
Hi Sophie! I'm just a new fan of your minimalist lifestyle and Maui's beauty. Well, it makes a little shock to me. But it's okay. I hope you both get healthy, fortunate, and joyful in your new home
Just got a chance to watch…. Wow and Yay! I’m so excited for you and the family! Looking forward to your new experiences and sharing that with us from Portugal! Wishing you the very best ! 💕
I am from Portugal!! I am so happy with this new! I’m sure that you will love our country! Love your content 💖
Wishing you and your husband the best of luck on your new adventure. I have to admit I am envious. ❤
I have been waaaaiting! Huge congrats to you! I am super happy for you. Thank you for always sharing and being so inspiring. Can't wait to see your next videos!!!
WOW!!! What a surprise! I'm ready for your new adventure 😁 that's so great that you have your husband whose also down to move. Pls don't stop posting on either channels. You're one of my favs 🌸💕
Good luck on your journey! I loved Portugal, specifically Lisbon! My husband and I moved from California to Munich during the pandemic and it’s been a tough transition with language, integrating, homesickness and not having much diversity. (wish Portugal was the first place we thought of because they had similar California/Hawaii vibes haha) But we have been enjoying how central our location is and traveling through the schengen area! Can’t wait to see more vids about the journey!
OMG really...I've been following your channel for some time, and you've always inspired me so much... and as a Portuguese, to see that you choose my country to live, and that you talk about it with such affection... you will certainly be very well received. I wish you all the luck in this new journey. Maybe we'll meet one day 😊
Enjoy the ride! All the best...
This is SO EXCITING ‼️‼️ Congratulations and Best of Luck 🤞🏻 🌈🍀🕊
So happy for you, keep us posted :-) enjoy ur journey ♡
That's so exciting!! I moved from Canada to England in 2013. It was for one year, but it was amazing. All of the fears and early struggles were worth it, and I know this will happen for you too. Wishing you as simple a transition as possible and quick adjustment to a new home 😊😊😊
How exciting! And very inspiring! There are so many things I want to do in life and I fear that I’m starting to tie myself down. But if you can do it, so can I! Thank you, Sophie! I’m excited to see where our adventures take us! Much love! 🙏🏼💕

Exciting journey to new adventures. I feel being in Portugal will build up your channel even more as there is so much incredible history, culture and places to visit and explore. I have traveled around Europe often on the train and Portugal is a very special place. You will be by the ocean so that should bring you comfort and familiarity from your Maui home. Good luck to you both on this exciting journey. Interesting I've been on Maui since 2004 and never bumpt into you guys :). Alohaaaa and take care...
