Hello, my name is
Samantha Milner and I moved to the beautiful Algarve

old son Kyle for a better life living in the Portuguese sunshine.
This site aims to help and guide all those who are either planning, or have made the move to Portugal themselves. Here I will share with you all sorts of useful information, articles, tips, tricks, and even personal blogs of my own expat experiences with you.
