As a San Diego girl, I’m going to say that Portugal is most like CA because weather matters the most. It’s the reason we bought a house in Cascais. Not interested in the terrible weather in the Southern US 🥵

Californians = only think about where to living because of the weather. 😃 Is that what you mean?

Having grown up in Georgia, and living in Lisbon now, I never would have thought to compare SC to PT! I know Charleston is very charming, and so is Lisbon. One thing for sure, though. The hot humid 92 degrees in SC will feel much hotter than 98 degrees and dry with a breeze we had for just a few days this summer in Lisbon. I think Portugal feels more international than SC, and also seems very different politically and with religion. I love living in Portugal, but would never live in SC! But I love southern food and sweet iced tea!

Interesting point about the weather comparing SC to Lisbon. Braga and Alentejo have wildly different micro climates that make 100 degree weather happen and one is humid and the other is dry. There’s a decent amount of variety in Portugal alone. - Josh & Kalie

Josh I live in Birmingham AL and have spent a few weeks in Portimao August of last year and early September this year and comparing the two Portimao had much milder weather. Much less humid and cooler evenings and nights in Portimao.

I was hooked by all of the fun facts!!! This video was epic. Thanks guys. It makes sense why my wife connected with Portugal so much: she is obsessed with the east coast vibe of USA. The charm, the culture, etc. REMARKABLE VIDEO!!!

Curiously enough, SC was the State I felt most at home when I did my travels across the US, and now I know why! Charlotte and Mount Pleasant are, IMO, two of the must-sees for those whose idea of the US is skyscrapers and urban ghettos!

Ok, found it. Firstly, kudos for the extensive research and work put into this video! Crazy amount of work! This video serves to inform anyone looking to migrate from the US to Portugal and vice-versa. It's an in-depth breakdown of infrastructure, history, cuisine, landscape, etc. So, if one wanted to move to an area of similar comforts, this video would be IDEAL! Wish I had this before I moved. More people should watch this before moving. ❤👍🏾

not a fair comparison in my opinion. Portugal was a slave trader but usa and south carolina were slave importers and exploiters, not slave traders.

@@zuzazaki I can’t believe you’re splitting the evil hair of slavery 😣 Both places exploited enslaved people and made their fortunes off the backs of those mostly-murdered people; as someone who has their academic degrees in colonialism, “post-colonialism” and the African and Spanish diasporas and has worked professionally in this field for most of my career I am appalled by your ignorant comment Educate yourself before you make any more statements about the effects of slavery in “former” colonies of imperialist oppressors or in those former imperialist states themselves that the rest of us have to hold our vomit in when reading . . .

Great video! The one comparison that was not mentioned, for obvious reasons, was gun violence. I never felt so safe as when I was walking through crowded streets in several cities in Portugal. Sadly, I cannot say the same for my home country. 😢

Refreshing that you're not saying "Portugal is just like California." That said, its a stretch to say that SC is anything like Portugal, IMHO. SC ranks as the 6th most dangerous state in the US, serves inferior bbq, and is an embarrassment to the SEC.
