We’re a blended-family, mixed-race couple turned empty nesters, trading life in the U.S. for a new chapter in Portugal. Here, we share our journey — from preparing for the move to exploring our new home — through blog posts, podcasts, and stories of travel, food, and everyday adventure.

We’re Roderic and Yasmina — a former Army officer turned I.T. professional and a Moroccan-born adventurer and Public Health professional who’s called the U.S. home since she was 19.

Together, we’ve raised five amazing kids in our blended family, and now that the nest is empty, we’re setting our sights on a new life in Portugal.
