Welcome to our Blog!

Hi, I’m Brooke. I have always loved traveling, and living abroad has been a long-time dream of mine. After years of research and planning, my family and I moved from the US to Portugal in October 2021. We moved here sight unseen and haven’t regretted our decision. We have been traveling, trying to figure things out here, and learning Portuguese!

I categorized my blog posts by subjects and places to make it easier to find specific information. Check out the categories page if you’re looking for a specific topic.
