Hi! My name is Kostya, and I’ve finally made my dream come true – I bought an old house in Portugal. Or rather, two! One is already livable, while the second is a 100+ year-old stone house that needs a full restoration.
After 3.5 years of working as an operations director, I decided to take a break and dedicate all my time to renovation, landscaping, and rural life among hills, forests, and vineyards. Here, I share my experiences, successes, and challenges along the way – all done by hand, with mistakes, unexpected discoveries, and inspiring moments.
It won’t be easy, but it will be an amazing journey! Subscribe – there’s a lot of work and exciting stories ahead! 😉
