Did your grandparents use anything like this when you were growing up? 👀
Spot what’s missing in this 18th-century palace kitchen! 👇


No electric switches, no non-stick pans, and definitely no instant gas burners.
Before modern appliances, this was absolute luxury living! 👩🏾‍🍳


Did you know:

🌶️ Black pepper used to be stored in lock-and-key jars and traded ounce-for-ounce like pure gold?

🍽️ Wealthy families were setting tables with Chinese porcelain hundreds of years ago?

🌊 Lisbon survived a historic triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and firestorm) that started on one single morning in 1755?


If you haven’t watched our latest family episode yet, grab your popcorn and dive into the side of Portugal most tourists never get to see! 🍿🇵🇹✨

Did you know Lisbon is roughly 400 YEARS older than Rome?! 🤯🇵🇹


When you move to a new country, it’s easy to get lost in the postcard views, pastel tiles, and scenic hills. But beneath the cobblestones we walk on every single day lies a history that completely blew our minds!


In our latest video, our family spent the day traveling thousands of years into the past at the Museu de Lisboa (Palácio Pimenta):

🏺 Ancient Roman pottery dug up right beneath the bus stop we use at Praça da Figueira!

🗺️ A secret maritime map from 1502 that undercover spies risked their lives to smuggle!

✊🏾 The hard truths of the transatlantic slave trade and its lasting cultural legacy

🌊 The apocalyptic 1755 disaster: an earthquake, a tsunami roaring up the Tagus just 40 minutes later, and citywide fires that reshaped Lisbon! 🔥


To wrap up the day, Temitayo tried to teach me how to ride an electric scooter along the Tagus River while our toddler took over as our official cameraman! 😂🛴
(Wait until you see his camera skills! 🎥😂😂😂)

Grab your popcorn 🍿, watch with your family, and let us know your favorite part in the comments! 💬

Meet the Temis! (Temitayo & Temilola)✨
Welcome to the Family! 🇵🇹🇳🇬



With so many new friends joining our community recently, we thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves!



We are Temitayo & Temilola (and our little boys, the Ire’s!). We are a Nigerian family living, learning, and thriving in Portugal.



We took a leap of faith relocating from Lagos, Nigeria to Lisbon, Portugal.
And remembering all the questions, doubts, and concerns we navigated before making the move, we started sharing our unfiltered journey to encourage and guide anyone looking to take a similar step.


On this channel, we document the real side of:

🏡 Expat Life & Relocation: Honest costs, culture shock, housing, and settling in Portugal

🗣️ Language Learning: The real (and often hilarious) challenges of learning European Portuguese.

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Family & Lifestyle: Daily routines, local markets, parenthood abroad, and exploring Europe with little ones.

We love to travel too, so we document,
📍Places we visit on a tour (The Republic of Benin & Portugal), and we share hidden gems, travel tips, and how to explore like a local, especially in our new home (Portugal).



Whether you're planning your own move to Portugal, navigating life as an expat, planning a visit, or just love tagging along with our family adventures, we are so glad you're here with us! ❤️



🎬 Catch up on our story from day one!

We’ve organized all our videos into playlists from our initial relocation story at 30 weeks pregnant to everyday life in Portugal:

🥺 THIS IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO! 🇳🇬❤️🇵🇹

Waking up to messages like this one absolutely melts our hearts and reminds us why we started sharing our journey in the first place.
Our amazing family member reached out, sharing how discouraged they felt trying to navigate this journey!


🤰👪 Ourselves ~ From Pregnancy & Unknowns to Helping Others
Seeing this testimony took us straight down memory lane. (Swipe over to see our throwback moving images) Back when we packed up our entire lives, navigating the scary relocation process ourselves, all while heavily pregnant and trying to build a life in a completely new country.

We remember the sleepless nights, the endless paperwork, and the heavy moments of doubt. We didn't have a blueprint, and that’s exactly why we pour so much love and honesty into our videos today. We want to be the guide we wish we had when we were in those exact shoes!


💪 To Everyone Still in the "Wilderness" Process
If you are currently looking to move yourself, dealing with paperwork delays, or feeling overwhelmed, let this be your sign to not give up.
Your breakthrough is just around the corner.
God's timing is undeniably always perfect ❤️ and we pray for your breakthrough too!

We are so incredibly grateful for this beautiful community.
Thank you for trusting us, for watching every single video we drop and for building this family with us.

🇳🇬❤️🇵🇹 Did you know that June in Lisbon, PORTUGAL is basically a massive, one-month-long street party and city-sponsored wedding party?! 😁 😁


If you are a Nigerian who knows how to throw parties, then experiencing the Festas de Lisboa is for you! 💃💃💃 The whole city transforms with colorful decorations, music blaring from every corner, and the incredible aroma of grilled sardines in the air. 😊 😊
Someone even said, "Just step outside in the evening and the smell of grilled sardines and music will guide you straight to the party closest to you" 🤣 🤣🤣 🤣

If you have been living in Portugal for years, we bet you didn’t know these 3 wild facts about June: 😊 😊 😊

1️⃣ Santo António is not the official patron saint of Lisbon, although the month's biggest celebration is named after him! 😄😄

Everyone assumes Saint Anthony (Santo António) is the official patron saint of Lisbon because the huge June 13th holiday is named after him. 😄😄Plot twist: He isn’t!
The official patron saint is actually Saint Vincent. Anthony was just born here and is such a legendary matchmaker that he stole all the spotlight!😄😄

2️⃣ The "No-Smell" Basil Rule! 🪴😏

You’ll see street stalls everywhere selling a cute little bush basil called Manjerico. Local custom says you must never smell it directly with your nose, or the plant will wither and die! 😄😄 To catch the sweet scent of the leaves, you have to gently stroke the leaves with your palm and then smell your hand.

3️⃣ Ultimate Weddings (Sponsored by the City!😱) 👰🤵

On June 12th, 16 real couples will get married at the exact same time at the Sé Cathedral. It’s a massive, highly competitive public application process, and the city sponsors the entire wedding ceremony! 😱
The couples often go through a 3-month bootcamp to learn etiquette and choreography before their big day is broadcast on national TV.
An elite collective wedding!😊😊😊


On our channel, we are capturing how our family is integrating into this vibrant culture, blending our own Nigerian🇳🇬 roots with these beautiful Portuguese🇵🇹 traditions 🪵✨ Follow our journey by subscribing to our channel: youtube.com/@togetherwithtemis?sub_confirmation=1


Let us know in the comments 👇: Which of these facts shocked you the most?😄😄

And if you're in Portugal, which neighborhood Party! Party!! (arraial) Are we bumping into you this weekend?💃💃💃
