Lisbon is now home

IMG_9084

🇺🇸 After spending more then a year on the road, Pedro and I have decided to make our new home in Lisbon, Portugal!  🇵🇹 Depois de passar mais de um ano na estrada, Pedro e eu decidimos fazer a nossa nova casa em Lisboa, Portugal!

🇺🇸 When we began our journey one of our goals was to meet new people, discover new places, and possibly find a place outside of the United States to call home.  We have visited some amazing cities we truly fell in love with, whose people were warm and friendly, but no place connected to our hearts like Lisbon.  🇵🇹 Quando começamos nossa jornada, um de nossos objetivos era conhecer novas pessoas, descobrir novos lugares e possivelmente encontrar um lugar fora dos Estados Unidos para chamar de lar. Visitamos algumas cidades incríveis pelas quais realmente nos apaixonamos, cujo povo era caloroso e amigável, mas nenhum lugar conectado a nossos corações como Lisboa.

🇺🇸 Being a multi-national (American and Brazilian) couple one of the things we truly love about Portugal is the blending of cultural experiences.  Portugal has a very European foundation yet you also feel some of the excitement and fun of Brazil.  English is widely spoken in the large cities (they begin learning English in the 3rd grade) and it is consistently ranked one of the safest nations in the world.  Add in 300 days of sunshine plus four seasons with moderate temperatures year round, low cost of living, and a good international airport, and you begin to get the idea.  🇵🇹 Sendo um casal multi-nacional (americano e brasileiro), uma das coisas que realmente amamos em Portugal é a mistura de experiências culturais. Portugal tem uma fundação muito europeia, mas você também sente um pouco da emoção e diversão do Brasil. O inglês é amplamente falado nas grandes cidades (eles começam a aprender inglês na 3ª série) e é consistentemente classificado como uma das nações mais seguras do mundo. Acrescente 300 dias de sol, mais quatro temporadas com temperaturas moderadas durante todo o ano, baixo custo de vida e um bom aeroporto internacional, e você começa a entender.

🇺🇸 For the future our blog and travels, worry not as Pedro and I never plan to stop traveling.  Over the next several months we will be exploring and sharing some of Portugal’s cities and beaches.  As we enter into the new year, we plan to expand our travels to include more of Europe, including a Greece cruise with Ms Nancy (mom) and a Danube river cruise from Budapest to Bucharest with our friends Peter & Victor.  We have lots more discoveries on the list including Asia, Australia, Africa, the arctics, and a few more places in South America.  🇵🇹 Para o futuro nosso blog e viagens, não se preocupe como Pedro e eu nunca planejamos parar de viajar. Nos próximos meses, iremos explorar e partilhar algumas das cidades e praias de Portugal. Ao entrarmos no novo ano, planejamos expandir nossas viagens para incluir mais da Europa, incluindo um cruzeiro na Grécia com a Sra. Nancy (mãe) e um cruzeiro no rio Danúbio de Budapeste a Bucareste com nossos amigos Peter & Victor. Temos muito mais descobertas na lista, incluindo Ásia, Austrália, África, os países árticos e mais alguns lugares na América do Sul.

🇺🇸 So until next time, keep traveling, keep learning, keep being challenged with new experiences and never forget: “NOT ALL THOSE WHO WANDER ARE LOST.”  🇵🇹 Então, até a próxima vez, continue viajando, continue aprendendo, continue sendo desafiado com novas experiências e nunca esqueça: “NÃO TODOS OS QUE WANDER ESTÃO PERDIDOS”.

  2. Hi Lance and Pedro,
    Congratulations in your new home and I hope you will enjoy your new life there. I’ve heard wonderful things about Portugal and I’ve always wanted to go there; it’s on our bucket list and I assure you I will get there soon. I hope you two will still be there when we go.

    1. We’re here for the long haul Cato! We still have a lot to learn about the country (plan to spend the next several months discovering some of Portugals other cities) and I am starting my Portuguese lessons next week! Our longterm plan is to spend half the year here and half somewhere in the states but plan to make this our primary home for several years before returning part-time to the states. We’d love to host you and Kevin as your plans develop. Keep us in mind! Lance & Pedro

    1. Thank you Murray. We’re very happy so far and look forward to really exploring Portugal and the rest of Europe in-depth, from our new home. Let us know if you happen to be here on your future travels!.

  4. Hi guys, read your blog and love it. We are happy that you guys found a new home and what a good choice it is. Portugal was my first port of call when I moved to Europe nearly 30 years a go and still love it, some of my best friends are in Lisbon where I visit at least twice a year. Will drink a glass or two for you and your new life in this amazing country and don’t forget we are only a 2 hours flight from Lisbon to Toulouse in France. Come to see us anytime. Take care of each other. Our website, http://www.blancsursanctus.fr
