Firstly, Team Castaway would like to wish you a very Happy New Year! What are your hopes for 2022? Whatever they are, we hope you make those hopes a reality. Over the years we have been completely rubbish fulfilling our New Year's resolutions - promising to do something on December the 31st, but getting to the same date 12 months later and saying....oops, we didn't quite manage that.
It all changed when in 2020 we promised each other we would make the biggest change of all, and make the move to Portugal that we had spent so long dreaming about. Plenty of people said we were brave; but we believe if you want something badly enough, you just have to take that leap and make it happen.
We haven't regretted it for one second since moving in August 2021. It's not just about the blue sky and sunshine (albeit the weather is a massive bonus!) , it's also about slower pace of life; the low cost of living; the incredible beaches; the tiny towns that we love discovering; the wonderful fresh produce throughout the year, and the wonderfully kind and generous Portuguese people.
So did we make any resolutions this year we hear you ask.....yes....we made two. The first is a big one - to be better at Portuguese in 12 months than we are now, and secondly to launch the next stage of Castaway Portugal. More on that to follow in the months to come but we are confident these are two resolutions we WILL keep! We wish you all the very best for 2022...let's hope it's an exciting; happy and healthy one for us all x
