The Story of Casa Azul
By Richard and Jackie: We found Casa Azul one wet Monday morning in May 2009. It was just what we were after - a decrepit farmhouse in the depths of Central Portugal. Now restored, this is the story of its, and our, continuing renaissance.

Emma's House in Portugal
By Emma: I was conceived during the Woodstock Music Festival of 1969. It was a beautiful moment in history filled with love and peace and marijuana. My parents weren’t actually at the festival at the time, and quite probably they were unaware of it even going on.

Living the Dream Portugal
By Rick and Pat: We moved out to Portugal to live a frugal but better , simpler and peaceful life, our house is a very basic, semi ruin, up in the hills outside Figueiro Dos Vinhos, where we work our land, enjoy life with each other and our dogs, and hope to make the smallest carbon footprint we can, To come and stay with us and join in our experiences or for holiday bookings or workshop enquiries, please email us.

Move to Portugal
By Laura: Welcome to Move To Portugal - I’m Laura and way back in 2005 I knew that I needed to simplify my life. I was in debt and had, up until then, been an over spender my whole adult life; it needed to stop. I took some major life decisions, set some goals and resolved there and then to get out of debt and make the changes that I needed to make.

Piglet in Portugal

Portugal Bound
By Nina: If this is your first time visiting PORTUGAL BOUND, let me say thank you for stopping by and my prayer is that you receive a blessing while here. Portugal Bound was first started in October of 2007 while our family of seven was in preparation to move to the mission field of northern Portugal. However, we are no longer 'bound' for Portugal, we're here and loving it, I'm just not creative enough to change the name. But if you've got a minute, grab a cup of coffee, and take a look around.

Best in Portugal
By Alberto: Before talking about the Best In Portugal website, I’d like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Alberto Rouiller and I’ve been living in Lisbon, Capital of sunny Portugal for the past nineteen years. I’ve always kept my Brazilian “Carioca” (natural from Rio de Janeiro) roots of optimism in searching for the fuller half of the cup, knowing that life has always something to teach you.

Atomic DogmA
By Tango: Once upon a time there was a girl named Tango. She was on the path to study English Literature and Art History but a girl’s gotta eat, so she became an accountant. She moved from Calgary to Vancouver and, for the next ten years, she worked as a financial analyst for startups in the technology industry. She wore stilettos and drank a lot of martinis.
