I'm Robbie Meador Walls.  My husband, aka Shmoopie, is Scott Walls. We married in 2009. Together, we have traveled to Italy, Morocco, S. Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg.  Suffice it to say, we like to travel. 

​

I retired early, during the COVID. Scott retired about a week before his 65th birthday (August 2024). 

​

See https://www.instagram.com/agencycycles/ for Scott's current TRUE passion. He has a utility patent on it. How 'bout that? He is in conversation with engineering professors at the University of the Algarve (located in Faro, PT, where we settled) to potentially work with students on a research project. Ask him to tell you about it. Be sure you have some time, and maybe a drink. ;) ​

​​

We lived in Charlotte, NC.  Our parents are gone. :(  My stepkids, Scott's kids, Austin and Alex, were raised in Georgia.  They and their wives, live elsewhere.  Sadly for us, they aren't in NC.

​​

That's just a tiny bit of background for folks who don't know us. Even though this blog is about our journey of deciding and planning to move to Portugal, more will likely be revealed. 

​​

We spent somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 years considering a move to Portugal for our retirement years. This blog was intended to document the decision journey. Now that we're here, may as well keep blogging. If you're interested, drop in from time to time to check on us.

Scott read my first blog post (written on 9/4/2022) and was unimpressed, He expected it to be more professional. Sorry, man. I'm writing like I talk. He admitted (confessed?) that he's never read a blog. So. Like. Hello.
