365 days ago I took myself off to Portugal for a few weeks to recover my health.
When it was time to return home I realised I’d never felt more at home.
So earlier this year Matt, Hamish and I took the plunge and moved out to Portugal full time.
The verdict after two months living here?
The best decision we’ve ever made.
We’ve met so many amazing people, enjoyed sharing our new life with friends/family and pinch ourselves daily at the view from our doorstep.
Of course, it’s been far from easy (if you follow our Instagram stories you’ll have seen our leaking villa, electricity black outs, wild dog bites, plus a couple of gut flares) but if I can heal anywhere it’s here.
Every time I hike my way back to health I can’t stop thinking about the transformative power of nature, especially the mountain air and sea.
Despite advising my private clients to do just this, it has taken many years for me to follow my own advice and s l o w d o w n and prioritise my own health and wellbeing.
I finally feel where I’m meant to be.
So this is your reminder. Health truly is a gift, do all you can to support it.
And if you have a dream, don’t be afraid to follow it.
