😔It is with much sadness and a heavy heart that I post here to inform you that Trisha passed away a few weeks ago following a car accident. My thoughts (and your’s too I’m sure) go out to her family and friends. She was a beautiful soul. It’s a stark reminder that our time here is finite and we never know when our time will be up. So don’t put off until tomorrow. Follow your dreams and stop delaying. 🙏🏽

What a fantastic story, I really enjoyed hearing Trisha's journey. Thank you for sharing. As a fellow Canadian who moved to Portugal I can truly appreciate so much of what was shared. Importance to be within an hour to the airport, no snow, not wanting to live in a third world country yet still having a budget to work within. All the good logical and practical thinking...lol...I can completely relate. For us, because we relocated with pets we had to purchase right away - within 10 days of arrival we bought our vacation villa and in 19 days from today, we close on my personal dream home. It was meant to be a guest house (for our parents and family) only I fell in love with it and decided to make the villa our guest house instead. Portugal is such a wonderful place to live and enjoy life. Braga looks beautiful!

Hazel ☘️ … Oh what a beautiful farm and so tastefully renovated ! Very interesting chat highlighting the strength gained by pursuing personal dreams and ambitions ! One burning question … why are you selling ? I am interested because I renovated, through blood, sweat, guts and money a remote 300 year old cottage deep in the Mourne Mountains … fantastic property and glorious gardens … I lived slept and ate the place getting it to exactly how I had first visioned it to be … then I sold it ?! I never looked back with regret at all … On paper I made good profit, but in comparison to the time, effort and cost I probably broke even ! I downsized … filled every nook and cranny of the new house … made wonderful new memories there … and sold it ! (Give my two boys their inheritance and left to live in Spain) Fast forward … I’ve never been as content as I am now with no home … kinds turns the whole Maslow notion on its head !!! … I feel free … devoid of stuff and commitments … living by what I NEED as opposed to what I THOUGHT I wanted … So when I see someone selling ‘their dream’ … I am intrigued to understand why Thank you for doing this vlog Luise and thank you Trisha for sharing your journey with us 🙏 😘☘️🙏

The locals in the village are very welcoming, kind and friendly. There are several British couples and other nationalities from Europe who have flocked in the area. There are several properties for sale here, one of which has a hectare of land with most probably 80 olive trees and a house which is quite new.

Interesting information -- especially about how properties are priced by the Portuguese. Trisha's price seems to be realistic with a little wiggle room and much more in line than some properties priced for more. It is a beautiful historical property with so much more potential in the unfinished houses on the land and having the tourism license should be a draw. Can not imagine the hoops she went thru to get that! At 22.39 of the video there is a structure by the front gate. Is it a gate house or a neighbor's property? Best of luck to her :o)

Lots of people are still asking why Trisha is selling, it has been answered in the comments but may now be difficult to find. . There is info about the property on the website mentioned including a bit about why she is selling... I have pasted the paragraph below. 🏠 When I bought the property in 2010 it had been abandoned for over 10 years and it has been a labor of love to slowly restore it and create a new life and vision for it. Today I feel that it has become too much work for me to manage alone; it is time for new owners to infuse the place with fresh energy and ideas and develop all the potential that the property still has.

Hello, my husband and I stayed at her place for 4 months early 2021 and kept in touch with Trisha, saw her about 5 weeks before the accident. Her car had been out of action for at least 6 months (so she hadn't been driving) it just had a new engine, and some guests had been borrowing it, so she had just got it back a couple of weeks before the accident, but also, it was on an area of road known for some accidents (not the road her house is on, but further down, towards the national park). There are some winding roads with ravines in the hilly areas, and in some places they don't have barriers. Whether she was going too fast or there was an animal, or there was an issue with the car, we won't know, but we should always drive carefully on winding roads.

Its a big project for 1 person, and also, i didnt realize that i wouldnt be totally comfortable running a guesthouse. Its is a dream job for many, and it has been quite successful for me, but it isnt what works for me personally. I would love to see someone else come and take the farm to the next level.

Hi Judith, it is just too big for me now and and i would like something a bit smaller and easier to manage on my own. I would like to start travelling again and spend more time with family, so i think this home is ready for new owners to come and love it and take care of it!

There are many, many reason why people move on or make a change. Some of which may have nothing to do with the property. Some can be personal so it's not my place to insist she share it with the world.

Metro urban children, always seeking for a place to call a home. Unfortunately home is where your family is and the place you are connected with the land and local people with deep roots and unbreakable bonds. People from villages and small towns call those places home, cause the earth is filled with their ancestors going back even thousands of years in some cases, their extended family lives mostly there, every corner of the village has a childhood memory attached to it, it's the place your grandparents lived, your high school friends live, your parents live, etc a matrix of bonds memories and emotions make you call a place home. Sadly it's difficult engineer equally strong bonds with an new region or place.
@Solo50plus2 жыл бұрын
Absolutely I agree...home is that place you describe. But not everyone has that idilic childhood. Some are children of immigrants and had no grandparents, aunties, uncles cousins or any extended family or roots and belonging to a place. Some moved around a lot including internationally like military families. So there is no idilic strong bond to a place to recreate. Therefore making a new place home does not present the same difficulty, or longing or feeling of missing out.

I can give you my opinion 😊 being Portuguese born and left when I was 24 I can tell you that for a 99% of Catholic population we are the most accepting people you’ll ever come across and I was born and grew up in a very small rural town. I grew up having some friends that are gay now and no problems at all. These days it’s even better than 20 years ago. There is not 1 part of Portugal that it wouldn’t be safe for gay people 😊
