About this speaker

Before moving to Portugal, Nicole spent the last 30 years living in Massachusetts, USA. Originally from Jamaica, this is her second go at moving to another country. Having visited Portugal for the first time in 2017 and with regular visits since then, Nicole has always known that Portugal would be her next permanent move. 

Nicole officially made her business, The Saudade Life, a travel and lifestyle brand, official in Portugal in 2024. The Saudade Life creates food, wine, and cultural experiences for the unique traveler that wants to set their souls on fire.

The search for a home along Lisbon’s South Bay (Margem Sul to the locals) started officially in the summer of 2021 and ended with the closing on a historic building by the river in the historic center of Seixal. Nicole now lives in this riverside beach town and is currently renovating the building that includes rental units.

Nicole documents her move, the buying process, the renovations, and starting a business in Portugal on Instagram and TikTok @nicolesbarett, and on YouTube @thesaudadelife.
