The Living In The Sun website charts the lives of one family as they share their experiences of what it is truly like to survive and thrive in the Algarve. This hands on blog addresses every aspect of Portuguese life, and provides you with all the practical information you need to know about living in the sun.
Samantha moved to the Algarve in the summer of 2008 with her family. Husband Dominic and son Kyle.
Samantha and her family were drawn to the Algarve due to the exquisite landscape and breathtaking coastal areas. Their relocation to this relaxing and peaceful part of the world has allowed them to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing them with the much appreciated quality free time to spend with each other as a family.

Kyle has had to adapt to life living in the sun, as he attends a Portuguese state school and in a few years is looking forward to spending his teen years in the Algarve. Growing up in Portugal is great for children and teenagers alike, with bountiful beautiful beaches, abundant water sports, and a flourishing culture. Being one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, Portugal comes alive in the summer months, and there are plenty of opportunities to meet new and interesting people from all over the world.
Husband and wife team, Dominic and Samantha, love working from home as internet marketers and enjoying their spare time checking out restaurants, taking advantage of the plentiful leisure facilities available to them, and most of all having a slower pace of life living in Portugal.
Samantha and Dominic are one of few 30’s couples in the Algarve, and therefore can give you an up to date view of having a family and working in Portugal. As they have experienced firsthand what it is like to take the leap and relocate abroad, they can offer invaluable insights and knowledge that can aid you in your own endeavours.
Planning a move abroad is a huge step and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Living In The Sun is here to present you with all the vital information that you may need, to help you make the most informed decisions possible.
Living In The Sun aims to give you the guidance and support to pack your bags, follow your heart, and enjoy a dream life living in the sun.

Once you have moved to Portugal then comes the reality of actually living here. Most of us will have only ever spent holidays in Portugal before making the move and it soon becomes clear that life in Portugal is not all about lazy days by the pool and barbecues on the terrace.
There is still plenty of time for the pool and the barbecues but there are also many other aspects of day-to-day life that you need to get to grips with to make sure you get the most out of life in Portugal.
There is no need to feel daunted by new challenges that you may face when you are living in Portugal as we have probably been through them too and are happy to help with advice and information. Read about the truths, realities and benefits of living in Portugal on our blog Click Here.
