  • Summary

  • Hi! We are Meredith + Mark and we just said goodbye to the traditional “American dream” in Charlotte, NC to instead experience a life of adventure RIGHT NOW in Porto, Portugal. It’s been a wild and glorious ride, full of ups + downs + change + discomfort - but man are we glad we did it and are excited to share ALL of it right here. If you’ve ever considered moving abroad, we hope hearing about our journey will help you too. And if you’re considering moving or retiring in Portugal, stayed tuned for more content about our move, the visa process, Portuguese culture, destinations + travel tips!
