One year ago, at the end of May, we finally found our home in the Portuguese countryside, the place where our homestead journey began.

Over the past year, we’ve spent most of our time clearing, cleaning, cutting, building, and slowly bringing this forgotten land back to life. What used to be overgrown with weeds is now gradually turning into our little dreamland.

It’s been hard work, full of challenges, surprises, and small beautiful moments — and this is only the beginning. 🌿🏡✨

Thank you for being here and following our journey.
