Leaving the Netherlands marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in my life. After years of dreaming and countless moments of ‘what if,’ I am finally packing up, selling my house, and preparing for my move to Portugal. This journey is not just about changing locations; it’s about embracing a new lifestyle filled with adventure, creativity, and community. Join me as I document every step, from the bittersweet farewells to the thrilling arrival in a land that promises new beginnings.

Finding the perfect home in Portugal is at the heart of my plan. We envision a property that not only offers a beautiful living space but also the potential to become a sanctuary for others. The search is focused on finding a place that embodies the charm and warmth of Portuguese culture. Once found, this property will be transformed into a vibrant hub for DIY projects, gardening, and cultural activities, eventually evolving into a boutique bed and breakfast where guests can experience authentic Portuguese hospitality.

The renovation of a new home in Portugal will be a labor of love. Armed with a passion for DIY, we will take on the challenge of transforming this property into a welcoming retreat. From hands-on construction to intricate design details, every step will be documented to share the progress and inspire others. The work will include sustainable practices and eco-friendly solutions, ensuring that the property not only looks beautiful but also contributes positively to the environment.

The ultimate goal is to create a unique sanctuary in Portugal where guests can feel at home. By combining my love for DIY, sustainable living, and community engagement, I aim to offer an enriching experience that showcases the beauty and culture of Portugal. Whether through hosting events, connecting with local artisans, or offering homemade products, Saudafica will be a place where genuine connections and lasting memories are made.
