And it just feels sooo wrong, even just thinking about it.
🙏🏼
The fact that it's part of the EU and also bureaucracy is quite a pain. Other than that, no down sides imo. For us it was quite easy, as Switzerland is part of Schengen/ Dublin.
I live in rural Portugal, quite lonesome here on the app 😄
💯! Feliz ano novo 🥂
Thank you! Where are you located and where would you like to go?
GM 2025.
What a year you’ve been.
Left “safe haven” Switzerland for an uncertain future in Portugal.
Experienced one of the wettest Portuguese springs since records began (almost thought we emigrated to the wrong country).
Celebrated Levi’s first birthday in beautiful Cascais.
A 10-hour blackout in April underlined our plans to become fully off-grid.
Enjoyed a perfect summer — sun for about three months straight.
Needed to flee wildfires for a week. Thankfully, the fires didn’t touch our house.
Amazed by the Portuguese autumn — like a second spring, where nature comes back to life after the intense summer heat.
Found our dream land after almost nine months of property hunting — three acres of beauty and pure potential.
Revisited Switzerland for two weeks, which confirmed that moving to Portugal was the right decision.
And so much more.
Lots of pain in letting go of the old life and old patterns. The struggles of creating a new life and settling in a foreign country. Sweat, tears, and uncertainty.
But also enjoying the adventurous spirit. Being able to catch every second of Levi growing up. And countless beautiful moments, filled with joy and laughter.
What’s left is deep gratitude for what has been and excitement for what’s about to come.
Thank you, God, for keeping your promises. Your love truly never fails 🧡

2026, here we come!

Thank you. It's definitely a wild ride with a lot of struggles involved, but also so much beauty ✨️
Also very cool! Since we live in Portugal, #Nostrinhos felt just perfect 😁
GN nostrinhos 🥰🇵🇹
Thank you! Downloaded it, but in my area (rural Portugal) there's kinda no one near haha... but someone's gotta start, right? 😄
💯 And that's why we support projects like @khweinewelt 💜
#PlebsTogetherStrong
That's awesome! 🧡🙏🏼
Thank you, little boy is stepping into a bright future ✨️
GM. Children and Bitcoin are our future 🧡
Awesome! Portugal is such a fertile country 🥰
GM. Tangerines are ripe here in Portugal. What a beautiful shade of orange, isn’t it? 😉🍊

Complexity and its digital nature, amongst other reasons... 🥲
We are about to set up a life as decentralized as possible here in Portugal 🇵🇹
No income: living on a Bitcoin standard.
No power grid connection: using solar instead — 300+ sunny days per year in Portugal.
No mains water connection: our 3-acre land has its own borehole (2,000 l/h capacity).
No sewage connection: using a septic tank.
No heating costs: our forest provides firewood (Considering Bitcoin-mining-powered heating in the future).
No supermarket food dependency: creating food abundance on our farm & exchanging food with neighbours.
No debt: building step by step, within our means.
All of this leads to (almost) no regular bills: no rent, no utility costs, no subscriptions, no strings attached — except for tax theft.
This is the hard path. Full responsibility in every area of life. We consciously choose it over the easy route.
We’re not there yet. But we’re doing everything we can to make it a reality.
