About us

Ay Lin

My name is Ay Lin Kho and I am from The Netherlands. I worked as a professional in the nutrition field and I also wrote books about nutrition and health. When we travelled to Portugal I wrote blogs about life in Portugal. We decided to buy a house in Portugal, sell in The Netherlands, emigrate and renovate our house. It took ages before we could move into Casa da Lima. It turned out to take more years than planned. While waiting for all, I walked a lot of caminho’s to Fatima and Santiago de Compostela and I blogged daily about these journeys in Portugal and Spain. Now we have settled, we host a nice house for tourists and pilgrims, Casinha da Lima. I will write about our activities, new adventures and the stories of the people who sit around our table.

Jaap-Willem

My name is Jaap-Willem de Visser. I worked as a project manager in IT-business in The Netherlands. First thing I did when websites were booming was claiming my domain name Jaap-Willem.nl. I never used it, until now in Portugal. We turned it into this website.
| suffered from a horrible stroke while we were moving to Portugal. Now, I am grateful I could walk part of the caminho. You can find me in our back garden, on our terrain in our fruit garden or kitchen. I started an organic vegetable garden on our terrain and I try to make tasteful and healthy meals for everyone.
