Living my dreams
After living in my van for three years, travelling across Europe I decided to make a new life in Portugal. In 2022 I bought and renovated a previously abandoned village house in the seaside resort of Vieira de Leiria. However, after encountering my dream home in September 2023, an old stone house in Monsanto, I decided to sell my house in Leiria and move to Monsanto, 243km north east of Leiria. The inside of the house, barn and adega need a complete renovation and the vinyard and orchard need bringing back to life.
I invite you to come along on this journey with me and I hope that I can inspire you to follow your dreams, whatever they may be. Hit the SUBSCRIBE button and join me.

Thank you for the level of detail you've provided. It's very helpful and I appreciate it. I'm currently renovating a house in the Azores. You have made some wonderful decisions. And definitely yes, on the outtakes, they are always fun. I have seen some people who will include a few outtakes at the end of their video, which is always something fun to look forward to.
Nice!
Thanks! 🙏💕

Of course if one has the money! Though i think you paid too much for a house you had to redo again! Does it come with a land?
Yes, I have a vinyard and orchard 😀💕
Nice

Thank you 🙏💕
Why cant your cat sleep inside the house?? Where is he supposed to sleep if not with his owners?
He’s not actually my cat. He is wild and free. I just care for him, give him food. There are plenty of warm cosy places around my house that he sleeps. This is quite normal in Portugal. I don’t want him in the house scratching my new sofa, which is what he did as soon as he was allowed in
Awwww congratulations 🎉🎉 finally🙌🙌 beautiful home ❤❤❤
Thank you!! 😊💕

Hi Suzi, I have been following you since the very beginning of your project and I can say the result is so good, unbelievable. And most of all the happiness that exudes from you is so tangible and makes me feel so happy. Enjoy,enjoy every single day and you can get a sense of peacefulness wherever you look at what you have achieved so far. Can't wait to see how you will complete the outside❤
Thank you so much Luisa for all your comments and for being here for the whole journey. What you say brings me even more joy which inspires me to also continue my KZread journey. 🙏😂
The place looks absolutely incredible! It gives me a lot of hope to what mine can look like one day! You got so so sooo much done!!
You can do it! 🙏💕

Obrigada 🙏💕
👏👏Breathtaking, Suzi! Bravo!!👏👏👏👏👏👏GREAT job! 👍🥰👍
Thank you so much! 🙏💕
Suzi why did you close that window on the ceiling? It would give you light in the bathroom
Luisa, it wasn’t really a window. Just a couple of glass tiles. My budget didn’t stretch to putting in a skylight and actually the bedroom is a few degrees cooler than the other room because it doesn’t have a skylight so it was a good result. I have plenty of light coming through the big window there 💕
Just lovely!
Thank you 🙏💕
Suzi your dream was difficult but now its a reality I am happy for you. I also got a dream to start my new life in Paul Do Mar the Island of Madeira Portugal where my parents came from. Where I am living now in Cape Town South Africa life has changed for the worse. Love you dream and house a lot. Enjoy it Suzi to the fullest.
Thank you. I hope you start taking baby steps towards your dream 🙏💕
Congratulations for your new future home
Thank you 🙏💕
Well what a difference looks great. Bath and air con later?
Thank you. I decided for the cost of the bath it wasn’t worth it and definitely not having air con. I really dislike it. The house naturally stays cooler than the temperature outside 💕
Keep dreaming!!!🌼💚🤗
Always 🙏💕
Congrats. You've done well there and in a short time too. I watch a few of the Portugal channels and very often builders do work for them and it turns into a bad dream. Looks like you found some good ones.
Thank you and yes I chose my builders well 💕
Muito bonita parabéns
Obrigada 🙏💕
Now you can breathe in the fresh air and enjoy your lovely home! Well done Suzi and congratulations! God bless!❤🙏🌻🌷🐈
Yes! Thank you! 🙏💕
Happy for you.Nice

Thank you so much Liz 🙏💕
It’s simple gorgeous! Congratulations Suzi!
