“One of the first blogs we started reading as we researched our move to Portugal. Among other things, they're documenting the gutting and rehab of their future home in PT.”
Scott H-K, Love from Portugal
“Nancy Whiteman is an unapologetic liberal who speaks her truth. She and her wife Denise moved to Portugal during the Pandemic and hit the ground running. Nancy’s blog provides factual information about living in Portugal including the places they visit, the culture, and the joys and frustrations of renovating an old building in Vila Real, to turn into their new home in Portugal. Nancy and Denise have become our friends and have helped us along the way on our own Portugal journey.”
Carol A. Wilcox, Our Portugal Journey
“Excellent view into one couple's journey to Portugal. Nancy's honesty, humor, and willingness to discuss things from her perspective are refreshing and delightful. ”
Krishna Martins, Émigré Essays
