After talking about our future house/land for quite some time, 
Although it was fun to head out with him, for half a day,
and we did like elements of what he showed us, as well as picking a big bag full of oranges from a huge, old orange tree on one of the properties, we also realized that we prefer finding our place in our own, organic way, not via someone else.
So, the next day, we went on a long hike by ourselves instead of driving around with the other guy, to see things afresh. This time without the salesman kind of energy from someone who wants to help out because he likes us but is also in it for the business/money.
It felt good.
Nevertheless, soon after - eventhough Clare was starting to warm up to the idea of building a future in this area - I started getting mixed feelings.
After having lived in this area for 6+ years, I feel a bit tired of it all and of the people and general energy. Therefore, I proposed to Clare to visit the area where I started out my own housing search, just after arriving in Portugal, in the Spring of 2018.
It is a one hour drive away, an hour closer to/an hour away from the sea and in yet another mountainous area. Near a small city and half an hoir away from a bog city, Coimbra.
We plan to go there soon and might camp for a while, on the same camping spot that I spent a month and a half on, back in the days.
I feel excited to show Clare that area, to do some exploring, intuitive property hunting and see how the two of us feel out there.
We are about to head out for lunch as we need a break and Bitcoin broke new highs, once again, moving over $100,000 for the very first time.
Let me leave you with some pics of our hiking/house exploration of earlier this week.
Sending love and good vibes. Keep manifesting your dreams...
