These words were written on a sign next to a highway and it just caught me.
That is so true. So simple, but so true. You can't refuel without standing still...
Mitch and I are the worst in standing still, our minds are always running towards a new project to improve and expand our passion project Moodz Spa & Resort!
We bought the land in 2008 and ever since we have spend so many hours building our dream project! We started by building the villa for one year straight. I was 19 and Mitch was 22 and we would work 7 days a week from 6 am to 11pm at night. Long days, hard work but it was such a great time together❤️
In the following years we moved back and forward to the Netherlands and Portugal. Our hearts belong to both countries and I feel so honored that we get to spend time in both countries, with family and friends❤️
In 2020 we decided to move permanently back to Portugal and to go ALL IN! We sold everything we owned to start building this beautiful venue! We started by planting all palmtrees, yucca's, bananatrees and every little plant you see. There was literally just a mountain.
We worked 7 days a week for 2 years to build to resort. It was heavy, it was frustrating but it was also 100% fantastic and I wouldn't do it any different today!
After 2 years we opened our dream resort to our first guests and we have been open now for 3 years! 3 years filled with beautiful souls, amazing people who had an incredible time at this little piece of paradise! I can only say: we are So, So, So Grateful for these wonderful souls that inspire us to do better, to keep loving & our hearts and minds open to wonderful & inspiring souls!
Now 3 years later we are filled up with the most magical retreats! ❤️ I can't even begin to tell how awesome it is that people are enjoying their retreat at Moodz Spa & Resort!
Every stone was placed by us, a crazy couple that is just convinced that if you work hard, never quit believing, that you are capable of so much more then you would believe❤️
Just do it, sweet folks! I believe in you ❤️
Just remember, once in a while we've got to stand still to refuel, trust in the process ❤
