Founders, Portugal Junkies + Creators of the Relocation Master Plan
In late 2023 we rented out our beautiful home in NC, sold everything, packed some suitcases and our furbaby, and moved to Portugal.
We got a lot right. But the one thing we got really wrong cost us more than $10,000. We picked our first apartment out of fear, in a hurry, without the right partners on the ground.
That's why Portugal Relocation Master Plan exists. It's the plan and the people we wish we'd had. Over the past year we've helped dozens of families move abroad, coaching them through mindset challenges, the visa process, pet relocation, health and medical decisions, financial impacts, choosing the right place in Portugal and cultural immersion.
