Rosy and Tom Portugal Homestead

We left London to build a slower, more intentional life in rural Portugal, and this channel documents what that actually looks like.

We’re a mixed-race couple originally from Mauritius and Oxford (UK). After years of living and working in London, we moved to the Portuguese countryside to start again on a small homestead.

This channel is about the real experience of rural life in Portugal:

🏡Homesteading, land projects, animals and food

💸The challenges of bureaucracy, money, weather and isolation

🇬🇧What it’s like leaving the UK and starting from zero abroad

😌Slow living without pretending it’s always peaceful

✅️Mistakes, progress, banter, swearing, and honesty

We don’t follow the typical expat mould. We don’t sugar-coat the hard parts. And we’re not selling a dream, we’re living the reality.

If you’re curious about moving to Portugal, questioning city life, looking for a more grounded way of living, you’re in the right place.
