Traveling Through with David Prior · Thursday, July 16, 2026
Nate Berkus expressed a deep appreciation for handmade crafts from Mexico, noting their integral role in his home decor. He also shared his unexpected connection to Portugal, where he and his partner Jeremiah purchased a farm, finding charm in its slower pace of life, natural beauty, and the strong sense of community.
“And my first trip was with them, And you know, I think in travel and in life, we have these people who are sort of like our shirt bahs who guide us and like whatever experience we have, if they're present, they make something that much more magical.”
“But all of my homes, all of my interiors have always been filled with Mexican craft since day one. And my beach bag is from you know, chop Us, and like it's just I've I just feel very I feel great surrounding myself with things that have been made by hand.”
“We have conflicting stories about this in our family. I wanted visas for our family. It was during Trump's first presidency. Well, Jeremiah wanted a beautiful place, and he's actually Portuguese on his mother's side. I had no idea family from the Azores, which is why he looks like that, which is so annoying, Like he had to come from an island where everybody's beautiful.”
“And so we have this incredibly beautiful parcel of land. It's a it's an eighteenth century working farm with water channels and two springs, so it's completely self sustainable. We have sheep and three massive dogs and three peacock and olive trees and every fruit grove and the fruit is delicious and we make orange juice every morning.”
