* ABOUT US *
Josh and Kalie left the US for a life abroad in 2009 and haven't looked back. They have lived in Spain, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and are currently in Portugal. Yes, they realize they only moved to countries starting with the letter "S" until they spoiled that streak with their move to Portugal. This is the first country abroad they have decided to purchase a property. While they have owned homes in the US, this is a whole new adventure. They will renovate a property in the heart of Porto, Portugal. Follow their journey here along with other fun and informative videos on their other channel, ExpatsEverywhere, where they aim to get information to you through expat interviews, city breakdowns, expat life, travel, vlogs, and more.

Whoa! I’ve always wondered how these cranes get set up. Nerve wracking. Go Team Lemon Tree!

[@LetsGetBuildingWithJandK]

Us too! It's pretty wild to see really. - Josh & Kalie

[@MirandaHorger]

The tiles on the building/wall behind you as you filmed were SO beautiful! It makes me curious about the aesthetic you're planning for the exterior of your build.

[@LetsGetBuildingWithJandK]

There are so many beautiful tiles around here. We've not planned that detail out regarding our building. We're not sure but the tiles will need to change. - Josh & Kalie

[@michaelhaardt5988]

Kind of amazing how long it took from the beginning until this point. The home of bureaucracy for sure. I am curious how things proceed!

[@LetsGetBuildingWithJandK]

Yea some of it was self-inflicted. Getting the permits for the crane and getting the police out there wasn't self-inflicted and it took a while. - Josh & Kalie
