Discover the story behind Viva Verde Campo
In the heart of Portugal, we've crafted a haven where nature and comfort meet. Born from our dream of self-sufficient living, our retreat offers a unique escape to experience sustainable life and peaceful camping amidst stunning landscapes.
Redefining Freedom
For years, we lived the life society celebrates, a good job, a comfortable house, and all the trappings of modern success. But as the world around us pushed for more, we found ourselves yearning for less. Luxury, as it turns out, doesn’t mean fulfillment. It felt hollow, a mirage of happiness that never quenched our thirst for something real.
Then came the turning point. The pandemic unraveled the façade of normalcy, and scandals like the benefits crisis in the Netherlands shook our faith in the systems we relied on. We started to question everything. What if there’s another way? A way to live more authentically, guided by our own values instead of societal expectations? The answers were clear: it was time to step off the treadmill and redefine what truly mattered.
A Leap Toward Simplicity
Once the decision was made, there was no looking back. Late-night conversations turned into bold plans. We dreamed of trading city chaos for sunlit mornings, endless skies, and the quiet rhythm of nature. This wasn’t just for us; it was for our three children, who we hoped would grow up learning lessons that no classroom could teach.
We envisioned a sanctuary where the earth provides, animals thrive in harmony, and our hands nurture the land. A place where our children could witness firsthand the beauty of hard work and the joy of creating something meaningful. It wasn’t just about finding a home; it was about crafting a life where purpose replaced possessions, and love bloomed in every corner.
Finding Our Paradise
Summer 2024 became the season of possibility. With maps in hand and hope in our hearts, we set off to find the land where our dream could take root. The journey wasn’t just about geography, it was about discovery, connection, and imagining what could be.
Then, one golden afternoon, we found it. Tucked away in Portugal’s rolling landscapes, this land was everything we had dreamed of and more. Vibrant greenery surrounded a charming home, and a small campground lay waiting for guests to share the magic of this place. It felt like the land had been waiting for us too, inviting us to build not just a life but a legacy.
From that moment, it was clear: this wasn’t just a place to live. It was a canvas for our dreams, a space where nature, family, and purpose could flourish together.
The Journey Begins
By the end of 2024, the dream became real. We left behind the familiar comforts of home, stepping boldly into the unknown. We quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and packed our lives into a trailer bound for Portugal. It wasn’t just a move; it was a leap of faith, driven by the vision of a freer, more connected life.
The transition wasn’t easy. We said goodbye to family, friends, and everything we’d built. But as hard as those moments were, they were also filled with hope. We weren’t leaving it all behind, we were exchanging it for something far richer.
Now, as we settle into this new chapter, our days are filled with simple joys: tending to the land, teaching our children the value of hard work, and reveling in the beauty of living in harmony with nature. This life isn’t just about us; it’s about showing our children and perhaps inspiring others, that true wealth lies in freedom, love, and the courage to follow your heart.
