About Me

I’ve been traveling solo for a little over 10 years. I didn’t always see myself this way. For a long time, it felt impossible — something intimidating, uncertain, even a bit too risky. But at some point, I decided to try. And that one decision quietly changed my life.

What I found was a kind of freedom I didn’t know I was missing. The freedom to move at my own pace, to follow curiosity instead of itineraries, to change plans without asking anyone. Solo travel taught me how to truly experience a place — not as a visitor passing through, but as someone who listens. I get to taste the country, hear its rhythm, notice its small details, and breathe in what makes it alive.

Over time, I’ve traveled like this across many countries in Europe and the Americas. But Portugal stayed with me in a different way. I’ve explored it from north to south, and what struck me most is how much diversity fits inside such a small country — mountains, wide open landscapes, dramatic coastline, and the ocean always nearby.

That connection slowly turned into a direction. I want to spend more time in Portugal, and eventually make it my home. For now, I live and work in the United States, but I’m already building the path toward relocation.

I’ll be sharing that process here as it unfolds — not only the personal side of moving and adapting, but also practical insights that might be useful along the way.

And even before that journey fully begins, this site already holds a growing collection of experiences and notes about Portugal — for those who, like me, want to see the country beyond the tourist surface and understand it a little more deeply.

For now, I invite you to explore it with me.

I’d be happy to answer any questions if you have them — feel free to reach out via email or Facebook Messenger.

Lindo!
