About Us: Our Journey to Portugal
We are a family of six from Atlanta, Georgia – two working parents, two adult children (now both married!), and our adventurous 8-year-old twins. Our love for Portugal started long before we ever set foot here, sparked by a curiosity about its stunning coastline, rich history, and warm culture. What began as an idea soon turned into a reality, leading us to invest in real estate in the Algarve in 2023.
But this journey is about so much more than property. It’s about embracing a new way of life.

From Atlanta to Algarve
For years, we dreamed of a place where life moved at a different pace – where people take the time to savor their meals, where the ocean is always within reach, and where history whispers through every cobbled street. When we first visited Portugal, we knew we had found something special. The Algarve, with its golden cliffs, quaint villages, and welcoming community, felt like home.
Living Like Locals
We are not just visitors – we are immersing ourselves in the culture, the language, and the rhythms of daily life in Portugal. We’re learning firsthand what it takes to move, invest, and settle here.
