A new year always feels like a fresh start, and for us, it’s bringing new projects, new ideas, and a new chapter for our blog. With a different name, a fresh perspective, and a new platform, we’re stepping into 2025 with renewed energy and purpose.
Our trusty old blog on Wix - Uma Pausa Portuguesa - served us well, but it’s time for a change. We decided to move to WordPress — simpler, more sustainable, and a better fit for what we’re building. Along with this shift comes a new name: Zambuja.
This name feels like the perfect reflection of the evolution of our journey. What started as Uma Pausa Portuguesa, a pause to search for a new life in Portugal, is now growing into something deeper — planting seeds and finding connections with the roots that already exist here. It’s a name inspired by the wild olive tree, known as Zambuja in Portuguese, from the Arabic Zabbûj.
Like this ancient tree, our project is about resilience, adaptation, and finding our place in a landscape rich with history and life.
So, welcome to Zambuja, where we’ll continue sharing our stories, dreams, and the everyday magic of building a life in tune with nature, community, and the seasons.
New beginnings, same heart.
