They say moving abroad is hard on adults, but people rarely talk about what children go through; they suddenly have to rebuild their entire understanding of reality from scratch in a new language.… 🥺🇳🇬🇵🇹

Imagine knowing your numbers, body parts, and colors by heart and then moving across borders and having to relearn everything you know in a completely different language.

Red becomes Vermelho 🟥
Head becomes Cabeça 🙆‍♀
One, Two, Three becomes Um, Dois, Três...

As parents, we often worry about our kids adjusting to a new school system in Portugal.

This is how our son started; after we moved and seeing how much he has grown reminds us of just how resilient children are.

And now, he isn’t just learning a language; he is building a bridge between worlds and teaching us any new word he learns in Portuguese 😍😍😍😍

Happy 66th Independence Day to our homeland, Nigeria! 🇳🇬💚🤍💚

No matter how many miles we travel or where we build our home in the world, the roots run deep. Taking our Nigerian culture, colors, and energy straight to the heart of Lisbon at Praça do Comércio! 🇵🇹✨

Spot the little guy trying to figure out if Portugal has jollof rice 😂🍛

Wishing all our fellow Nigerians at home and across the diaspora a powerful, peaceful, and blessed Independence Day! 🇳🇬

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.
