Erika & Mark

Hi! We’re Erika & Mark — Americans living in Porto, Portugal, sharing real expat life and travel in Europe (and beyond).

On this channel, you’ll find Shorts and travel guides featuring Portugal’s most beautiful cities, hidden gems, weekend getaways, local food spots, and what it’s truly like to move abroad in your 40s.

We focus on great experiences at every budget — from affordable local finds to unforgettable splurges — plus the honest side of travel: culture shocks, language mistakes, and the unexpected moments that make the best stories.

Subscribe for Portugal travel inspiration, expat life in Porto, and adventures across Europe and the world. ✨
