My mom has dementia. It’s one of the hardest parts about moving abroad to Portugal for me.

Their Boston, Bella, died this summer and we were so worried how it would change my Mom.

My dad actually took it hardest, I think.

They both need support in so many ways.

Meet Charlie. New joy abounds.

If you truly want a peaceful + simple life, you can have it.

It just may not be in the US.

Hit them in the wallet. NOW.

Our wallets + how we choose to use our money for everyday shit has power.

Remember that you have a choice.

Do not allow them to monetize you.

That’s the real revolution.

Take away the money, take away the power.

Traditional Portuguese food is not to be missed when traveling in Portugal.

(Think simple food done extraordinarily well.)

Scallops + Shrimp Acorda in Viana do Castelo, northern Portugal.

Both have been hard to find in Algarve region in the south where we live. @viana-do-castelo.bsky.social

Our first Portugal Junkies Road Trip of 2025 sent us to 📍Carvoeiro, only 50 minutes from our home in Tavira.

It has been on our bucketlist for a long time… and gah. It was stunning.

We travel Portugal so that we can build you the best customized itineraries EVER.

We love living in Portugal. We visited Carvoeiro last week and felt like we were in a movie.

We moved 13 months ago and never looked back. Especially now.
