Introduction

That feeling

Do you sometimes feel: "there múst be more than this"?
And do you then think that it just "is what it is" and feel locked in?

And here's where you can choose to turn dreams into reality.

Want to go away? Start a new life? Then go!

Think you can't?

Then read on, you might find out that it's not as impossible as you think it is.

Is this it?

Is thát all there is? Do you wonder sometimes?
As a kid you learn that you have to clean up your room, listen to your parents, do your homework, finish school, find a job etc.

And when you finally grow up, you don't even question all these things, it's like they come naturally, like they are a part of you.

But new challenges and disappointments will cross your path and you might start to question what you've learned.

That's when dreams can become truth.

And there's more:

So here it is: if you think about moving to another country all kinds of things start running through your head like "Will I miss my family and friends?", "Will I have enough money to live on?", "Do I even have enough to buy myself a place?" etc. etc.

All these things probably feel quite overwhelming, but we tell you: "you're going to be fine", because if you really want to you're able to do much more than you think. For example: we see people here living of just a couple of hundreds of euros a month, we've seen pieces of land sold for a 1000 euros (the lowest price ever was a stunning 250 euros) and modern day technology brings all kinds of possibilities of communication with the people in your homecountry: social media, skype, whatsapp etc. (for around 25 euros you have unlimited internet here, no cables needed, it's all "in the air", you get a router with it for free and you have internet at home).

So if (one of) the forementioned thoughts was holding you back, maybe now that cloud has moved a bit?

And there are so many examples, don't think that Google has all the answers, this blog is there to help people with whatever questions they have.

Buying things in Portugal

Take me straight to the webpage! Property: a house or terrain Did you know that in Portugal you can buy a house or terrain without a real-estate manager? Probably the majority of these properties in the Beira Baixa are not to be found on the internet, because many people do not want to work with real estate managers. To find these properties, you need to go to Portugal and ask around, you can also browse the web (like social media) for groups from that area and ask about it. A car Many websites in Portugal offer cars, but beware: there can be fines that still have to be paid and you get them with the car that you buy, mostly unknown. Do not do the process yourself, go with the seller to a sollicitadora, you are the buyer and you decide how the process goes. The sollicitadora will check everything, like these possibly open fines and other things and you get the car registered on your name straight away for about 65-80 euros.
