Hello! We are Roman and Taisiia, a married couple who have been happily living in Portugal for the past two and a half years.

Our journey began in Cascais, where we lived for a year and a half, before moving for a year to Apúlia in Northern Portugal. During this time, Portugal truly became our home, and we are excited to continue building our future here.

Both of us work remotely and have stable professional careers. Because our work is location-independent and our lives are firmly established in Portugal, we are looking for a long-term home in Lisbon where we can settle for the next 1–2 years.

We hold valid Portuguese residence permits and are scheduled to take our Portuguese language A2 exam in mid-July.
Roman Zhirov
Marketing Manager at Cointelegraph
I work remotely as a Marketing Manager at Cointelegraph.
Alongside my professional career, I have recently been admitted to the Philosophy program at the University of Lisbon. I am deeply interested in understanding how the world works and enjoy exploring ideas across different fields, from technology and culture to philosophy and history.
In my free time I like reading good books, cooking tasty things, hiking and spending time outdoors.
Taisiia Zhirova
Freelance graphic designer & painter
I work remotely as a graphic designer, helping businesses create strong visual identities and branding systems.
Creativity is not only my profession but also a big part of my everyday life. I enjoy creating beautiful spaces around me and believe that a well-maintained home contributes greatly to happiness and wellbeing.
Last year I graduated from Cascais School of Art, where I further developed my passion for painting and design.
I enjoy practicing yoga, drawing, exploring new places, traveling with my husband and creating a warm and welcoming home environment.
Peregrin Took (a.k.a. Pippin)
Sweetie pie
I work as a sweet bun. It's not an easy job, so in my free time I like to sleep and bask in the sun. I am fully vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, litter-trained, and exceptionally well-behaved. I also love it when it’s beautiful around me, so I never damage the furniture.
I am 5 years old and all my life have been traveling the world with my family.
Arya Stark (a.k.a Ari)
The smartest princess
I am an Australian Shepherd, 2.5 years old. I was born in Barcelos and than lived with my family in different places. Everyone in all the neighborhoods tends to know and love me because of my friendly and gentle personality.
I am fully vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, and house-trained.
Because my humans lead an active lifestyle, I receive plenty of exercise every day and at home I usually rest and sleep with my belly up.

WHY WE ARE GREAT TENANTS

  • Steady remote income
    Both of us work remotely in established professional roles, providing a reliable and consistent source of income. This allows us to pay all necessary invoices without delays.

    Portugal is where we plan to build our future. Taisiia graduated from Cascais School of Art, and Roman will soon begin his studies at the University of Lisbon.
  • Respect for property

    We treat every home as if it were our own. Cleanliness, maintenance, and creating a comfortable environment are very important to us. We take pride in caring for the spaces we live in and always leave properties in excellent condition.
  • Friendly and sociable

    We are easygoing, respectful, and community-oriented people. We greatly value building positive relationships with our neighbors and community members. We believe in open communication, mutual respect, and creating a harmonious environment wherever we go.
We would be delighted to introduce ourselves further and provide any additional information, references, proof of income, employment documentation, or residence documents if required.

Thank you for considering our application! We hope to find a home where we can create wonderful memories and become long-term, reliable tenants.
