We are a family of four — two adults and two children — living legally and building our life in Portugal.

We came to Portugal because we fell in love with this country, its people, its culture and especially its connection to nature. Over the years, Portugal has become our home, and we are grateful for the opportunity to live here, work here and raise our children here while respecting our responsibilities and contributing to the community around us.

We are a Christian family, and our faith is an important part of who we are. We believe in family, hard work, gratitude, responsibility and taking care of what God has entrusted to us.

Our daughters are curious, intelligent and full of dreams. As parents, one of the things we value most is giving them an environment where they can learn, explore, develop their talents and grow with a strong connection to nature and family.

We love animals, trees, gardens, fresh fruit and food grown without unnecessary chemicals. We dream of having a small piece of land where we can plant fruit trees, grow vegetables, care for animals and learn to produce more of what we consume.

We are also interested in alternative energy and more sustainable ways of living. We don't expect to become completely independent overnight. Our dream is to build it slowly, step by step, with our own work.

We are looking for a rural property in Portugal where our family can create this future. A place where our children can run barefoot on the grass, pick fruit directly from the trees, learn where food comes from, care for animals and understand the value of protecting the land.

We know that buying land is a major challenge for an ordinary family without substantial savings. That is why we decided to share our story and ask for help with the first step.

Our goal is not luxury. It is to build a simple, healthy and meaningful life, surrounded by nature, while creating something that our family can care for and pass on to the next generation.

Every contribution, regardless of its size, brings us a little closer to this dream. And if you cannot contribute financially, sharing our story with someone who may connect with our journey would already mean a lot to our family.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for helping us take the first step toward our family homestead in Portugal.
