About Thomas
As a child, I spent many holidays in the Algarve, which means I’ve always had Portugal under my skin.
In around 2006, I started exploring the country more actively, and in 2016, began the process of planning to move here.
Whilst Lisbon has always had a great appeal, the balance of a smaller city (Santarém) as the focal point of a diverse rural area (the Ribatejo) brought my partner and me to this region, which we continue to enjoy, explore and promote.

Ralf (verified owner) –
I hired Thomas because of the wisdom he showed in the forums within ExpatsPortugal. He was extremely knowledgeable and generous with a wide variety of topics. We had our first Remote Meeting today, and I could not be happier. Due to family matters, I am unable to visit Portugal at this time, but Thomas has been sort of my “Boots On The Ground” and I suspect no one else could represent me any better than Thomas. If you look at his comments in the forums, you will see what I did. A caring, intelligent person who is as generous as one could hope for. He knows a lot about a lot. But when he doesn’t know, he is modest enough to say so. Money well spent, and I look forward to working with Thomas more as I work towards my dream of moving to Portugal.
