Urban art and thoughtful curation of a thriving community come together so nicely!

After a roundtrip to Lisbon to drop off our rental car, we walked the steep pathways into the historic center of Covilhã from the bus station. Wasn’t easy, but not as bad as expected. And the views from up top are so lovely, it’s worth the climb 😍. (But maybe next time we’ll take the bus until we’re able to find a car to buy 😅)

Here we come, Covilhã! Only one more weekend until we leave the USA for and see our newly renovated apartment for the first time since it was finished! So excited to get to know the area and the people of this lovely mountainside city. Lots to come as we embark early Monday (including a stopover in Paris).

We’re excited to share our first weekly video about life in 🇵🇹 — starting with a road trip we took around the country to choose a city and a home. You’ll never guess where we picked! (Hint: it’s not Lisbon 😀)

We're about to move to Portugal. Come along on a road trip to 7 different Portuguese towns with filmmakers-turned-house-hunters Kim & Robert. We only have tw...

Hi there! We’re Kim & Robert. As long-time travel writers and feature film & TV producers, we’ve been fortunate enough to have lived, worked in and visited over 60 countries. But our biggest adventure is just beginning!

We’re not new to social media, but this is our new account documenting our journey as we move to — and make it our forever home. We’ll publish our house hunting road trip (our first weekly video!) on Friday.

We found the perfect spot and will be living in a small city in the mountains of , and can’t wait to get to know more locals and in the area.

We’ve got a gamer teenager in tow and an adult son — AutisticExplorer.com — starting his own channel too.

Hope to see you around! We’ve been so inspired by so many Portugal content creators while in our planning phase, and hope we can do the same for others.

This episode of Robert's Record Corner asks: Would we even know Johnny Cash if not for FDR’s New Deal?

In the 1930s, Franklin Roosevelt basically relocated 535 families by—draining the swamp. This area in northeastern Arkansas was a swampland. They built irrigation canals, drained the water out, had people come out and plant cotton. And people had a chance to get away from flooded areas, where their children were dying of diseases, at a time of the Great Depression. As we learned at the Historic Dyess Colony museum.

And one of the families was the Cashes.

We got to visit the world's best airport for Alaska Airlines...to write up and photograph its newest addition, Jewel, with a stunningly enormous indoor waterfall spilling down from a domed glass ceiling. Check out the video!

The newest addition to Singapore’s Changi Airport, the $1.25 billion Jewel hub, makes the case that an airport can be an attraction in its own right.
