THE KINGSTREES: Moving to Portugal Blog | Family Vlog, Food & Culture
We’re The Kingstrees — a family of seven chasing big dreams across continents.
Our journey began in England, took us to Canada in 2012, and in 2025 we took the leap to Portugal. This blog is where we share the real highs and lows of moving abroad, discovering Portuguese food and culture, traveling as a big family, and building a new life from scratch. From tasting pastéis de nata to navigating visas and exploring hidden villages, we bring you along for the ride.
Whether you’re dreaming of moving to Portugal, looking for travel inspiration, or just love raw family vlog stories, this is your place.
