Olá, nova viagem!
Olá novos começos!
Welcome to Olá Coimbra!
New beginnings made simple, personal, and full of heart.
Speaking from experience… moving anywhere new can be stressful — but moving to a new country? That’s a whole new level!
Olá Coimbra! was born from my own journey of relocating to Portugal, and from helping others make that same exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) leap. I’ve fallen completely in love with this country, and I want to make sure that everyone who chooses to live here can have a smooth, welcoming experience from day one.
I truly enjoy dreaming with others — turning “someday” plans into beautiful new beginnings
What We Believe
At Olá Coimbra!, we’re here to help you discover your new beginning in Portugal — with guidance, kindness, and local expertise. Even if you’re still abroad, we’ll make sure you feel confident that this is the right journey, and that when you arrive, you’ll feel at home.
Warmly,
 Paula Chanda
 Founder, Olá Coimbra!
