I capture real life, silent vlogs with all the busy and sometimes very slow moments living in Portugal.
I share the most authentic version of myself here through this journey. I hope these videos bring joy to your day.

Enjoying the Algarve Winter & finding our new home in Portugal | Moving in Portugal | Epi. 3
Watch the last vlog // th-cam.com/video/xVzh6OR9Voc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hCh9vr37riG1WXmW
Just as we started to settle in to our new lives we soon realised we had to find a new home in Portugal. Our lease was temporary and we knew we wanted to move up North. In February 2023 we took a road trip up to Porto and viewed two places. Both homes were perfect, one was in a great location for so many reasons. We chose the apartment in Aveiro, a really beautiful city near the coast.
I also really took every opportunity to soak up the Algarve Winter before we left. Watching every sunset I could and sitting outside listening to the frogs singing.
