News about our Portugal Golden Visa Journey

After a whirlwind summer across Europe, we’re settling into fall in North Carolina and sharing several exciting updates — our upcoming Ventures.eu webinar, new details on Portugal’s Golden Visa program, and the next steps in our residency journey.

A Life in 60 Boxes

“A Life in 60 Boxes” chronicles the unexpected goodbye to our Charlotte ‘forever home.” We sold nearly everything, packed our favorite belongings into 60 labeled boxes, and set off to wander the world while we await our Portuguese residency. With memories safely stored (and a certain car sorely missed), we’re officially untethered — roaming for now, Lisbon-bound eventually.

Choosing the Right Partner for Your PGV Journey

Choosing the right partner for your Portuguese Golden Visa (PGV) is critical. From slick third-party firms to fund-tied advisors, not all are created equal. We break down key tradeoffs, hidden fees, and red flags – and share why we ultimately chose an independent Portuguese law firm to guide our journey.

Why Portugal?

“Why Portugal?” That’s usually the second question I get when I tell people we’re setting up a place in Europe and aiming for a second passport.

Daintree Rainforest

Daintree Rainforest has thrived for ~180 million years while dinosaurs and ice ages have come and gone. This is a place where dragons run, and crocs rule.
