Description

Our Adventurous Family: We're Henk and Elise, joined by our delightful daughters, Sara (5) and Anna (2), on a grand caravan adventure through the picturesque landscapes of Portugal. Originally hailing from the Netherlands and Germany, we're on a quest to find the perfect spot to call home permanently.

Meet Our Family:
Henk, our maritime engineer, is 38 years young. Elise, a dedicated teacher and multitasking secretary, adds her 34 years warmth to our family dynamic. Sara and Anna, our spirited little adventurers, bring boundless joy and curiosity wherever they roam.

Our Journey:
As a family, we find happiness in each other's company, cherishing moments spent exploring new destinations and creating cherished memories. Our love for nature draws us to the most breathtaking spots, where we immerse ourselves in the beauty of the great outdoors.

What We Seek:
Our caravan serves as our mobile home as we seek a place to settle down in Portugal. We're eager to embrace the local culture, learn the language, and understand different ways of life. Social and open-minded, we relish the opportunity to share our knowledge and experiences while also learning from others.

Our Shared Passion:
Animal lovers at heart, we find solace and joy in the company of furry friends. Whether it's caring for our own beloved pets or lending a helping hand to animals in need, our compassion knows no bounds.

Warm regards,
Henk, Elise, Sara & Anna
