More Than Portugal

We sold everything in the UK and moved our family of 5 to Portugal - and honestly, we're still figuring it all out! Our Portugal vlogs capture the real, unfiltered journey of relocating abroad with three kids, hunting for our forever home, and learning what it actually means to live in Portugal.

Expect the messy middle of expat life - the house hunting stress, the budget reality checks, the school decisions, the moments we question everything, and the days we know we made the right choice. No highlight reel here, just a family navigating this massive life change together.

If you're dreaming about moving to Portugal or just curious what it's really like to uproot your whole life, you're in the right place. We're living it in real time, mistakes and all.

We're called More Than Portugal because while this country is our destination, we're explorers at heart - and we know the adventures won't stop once we've settled.

More Than Portugal

Salam from Morocco

We’re reaching out to our lovely YouTube community for your opinion so your feedback would be much appreciated.

We have 2 more videos of our Morocco series that we would love to share and because we haven’t found it easy to film in public in Morocco, these will still be a little more voiceover than usual.

After that, we are aiming to film ongoing updates (no older than 1 week) of our travels, we were thinking of more Vlog type videos but we also appreciate that some of our viewers might come or be here for the informative videos so our question is, what do you enjoy the most and would like to see more of going forward?

The more informative type videos like our previous 2 Morocco videos, the more Vlogging style where we share a mixture of things that we are up to including Portugal move progress or both or even anything else?

🌟 **Hello to our new followers! We’ve had a few of you join us recently so thought it would be the perfect time for an introduction.

We’re the Mills a British - Portuguese - Indian family, and we’re thrilled to have you join us on our adventure!

This year we made the bold decision to quit our jobs, sell everything we owned, and set off on a journey to move to Portugal. šŸ‡µšŸ‡¹āœØ

Instead of heading straight to our new home, we’ve been traveling through Europe, exploring new places and creating unforgettable memories with our three children. šŸššŸ’–

As we embrace this exciting lifestyle, we’ve postponed our move to Portugal to next year. But don’t worry, the adventure is far from over! We’re excited to continue sharing our experiences, tips, and the joys of travelling as a family 24/7!

What about you? Have you ever made a big life change? We’d love to hear your stories! And if you have any travel tips or must-visit spots in Europe, drop them in the comments!

Thank you for being part of our journey! We can’t wait to share more stories and insights as we travel on this incredible path together. šŸŒšŸ’•

Three Months Together 24/7 with YOU! — Kids Included šŸ˜…ā¤ļø

We’ve spent the last three months side by side — all five of us — traveling, parenting, and trying to keep our sanity. šŸ˜‚

There have been moments of pure magic… and a few where we’ve seriously questioned this whole ā€œtogether 24/7ā€ idea.

But between the chaos, laughter, and unforgettable memories, we’ve realized this is exactly where we’re meant to be. šŸ’›

It’s not perfect — but it’s perfectly us. šŸŒā¤ļø

Would your family survive three months nonstop together?

Hey everyone!

First, a HUGE thank you to all of you who have subscribed recently! šŸ’š We’ve had so many new friends join our channel, and we’re so happy you’re here. It honestly means the world to us that you want to follow our journey and support what we’re doing.

We take our YouTube adventure seriously—not just because we’re making videos we’ll love looking back on, but also because we want to keep you updated on our big life-changing move. That’s why today we’re sharing this adorable picture of Ella!

The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. We’re so close to leaving the UK, and things have been crazy busy. There’s been so much going on that we sometimes forget to record—like yesterday when we said goodbye to our cat 😿 (she’ll be staying with a friend for a few months). It was such an emotional moment, and we decided to keep some of these ā€œboring but importantā€ tasks off-camera so we can power through them.

Our next big video is coming in just a couple of weeks! You’ll see our last moments in the UK, our crossing to France, and our first days settling into our new destination—it’s going to be full-on šŸ˜…. Until then, we’ll share some short videos of special moments. If you like and comment on them, it really helps YouTube share our journey with more people.

Wow! This was a huge step forward!

It’s great to be able to take the time to focus on what’s to come but I sure miss being in the ā€œofficeā€!

✨ Editing our Bali video today and feeling so emotional...
I can’t lie — we lived through some of the scariest moments of our lives on that trip. At one point, we truly didn’t know how it would end.
And yet... as I sit here reliving it all, I can’t help but miss Bali. I miss Southeast Asia. I miss the magic, the chaos, the beauty. šŸŒæšŸŒøšŸŒ

We’re working hard to have the full video ready by tomorrow or Wednesday — and trust me, you’ll want to see this one.
This isn’t just another "perfect holiday" vlog.
It’s a real story. A beautiful, messy, emotional adventure we’ll never forget. ā¤ļø

Stay tuned — we can’t wait to share it with you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mums out there.

Today, as we fail to provide you with our Singapore travels update (sorry!), instead we try hard to slow down and celebrate Mother’s Day at a place that fills us with dreams for the future, in the peace and quiet of a wonderful tiny village in the south of England!

We have finally finished getting our house ready to sell and placed it on the market last week, we’ve had a couple of viewings but are experiencing first hand a slow housing market in our area so hopefully it won’t be long before someone finds the perfect home in what we have called ours for the last 8 years.

Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us on this eventful adventure so far and for sticking around regardless of what we are sharing, we have a lot of surprises planned for the remaining of this year and want wait to share them with you šŸ’›šŸ«¶šŸ¼
