Hello! And welcome to our real van life travel vlog.
In today's travel diary we go back to Spain in August 2020 for a special edition of 101 Park Ups - our regular Travel Vlog as full-time Van Dwellers.
We are currently stuck (again) in the UK and with COVID-19 the French border is closed for tourism and travellers alike.
So we thought we'd revisit and edit some of the footage we never quite got to in the summer, due to us having such a good time back then. Seems like a distant memory now.... here we have part 3 of August where we revisit some of the park ups we didn't quite get to edit at that time, mainly due to having just a little too much fun! Or maybe a few too many Sangrias!!!
Missy cooks tapas for 8 on the beach, then we head off into the Pyrenees to visit the remains of some Spanish Civil War bunkers where George Orwell was stationed during 1936. We also talk about litter and leaving no trace...
WHO ARE WE?
We are Those Weirdos, A FAMILY OF 7: 3 people, 2 cats and 2 dogs living and travelling full time living the Vanlife in our self converted Sprinter van. We have a passion to improve our filmmaking and VLOG our LOVE of full-time travel. Not only that, but we make regular and varied content for YOU, and also we hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.
SUBSCRIBE!
If you're interested in what it's like LIVING FULL-TIME in our van aka The Sub, and our travels and park ups around Europe.
We also put out regular information features covering topics such as how we travel during a pandemic, hints, tips and budgets AND sometimes we talk healthy VAN LIFE MEALS and the BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN EUROPE.

Hello! In today's episode, we are now the proud owners of a stunning off grid property in Portugal, Lobateira, which we've renamed 'The Wild Lands'. We've been searching for our own slice of heaven to start a homestead. We decided to base our search around the Castelo Branco region of Portugal, as the land here is not only beautiful, but far cheaper than the Algarve. Equally, there are many off grid families in the region, and we wanted to be close to a community of like-minded people.
Tonight we take a good look at our well, we assess it's depth and look at it's crumbling walls. It also appears to be blocked so we discuss our plans for its rejuvenation and the repairs needed so we are ready to grow crops next year.
We were 'stuck' in the UK (again) since returning to see loved ones over Christmas while we waited for our D7 Visa for Portugal. After nearly 6 months of waiting, we got to leave! This was a mammoth task as we had to transit through France to Spain in 24 hours or less! (see previous videos) Now we are finally looking at land in Portugal. Follow us on our adventure to the sun! As we start looking for land in Central Portugal that we can turn into our own off grid haven.

We are those Weirdos, a family of 7; 3 people, 2 cats and 2 dogs living and travelling full time living the Vanlife in our LWB self converted Sprinter van. We've spent the last 3 months in Spain, mainly on some pretty remote beaches, the weather was simply gorgeous!
Here in a 'special' edition are our fav park ups form the last 3 months, filmed on our Mavic drone!
We've been living in our van for over a year now, we've seen so many wonderful things and so many beautiful places. We thought for the next leg of our adventures we'd document all our park ups in this new series 101 Park Ups here in a special drone edition.
We normally live and travel in full time in mainland Europe in a converted DHL delivery van with 2 adults, 1 child, 2 dogs and 2 cats. In the future we will cover topics such as Rosie's education, living with 2 cats AND 2 dogs, minimisation, adjusting to nomadic van life, wild camping, our van, people we meet on the road and why you should live or choose an alternative lifestyle, plus what happens after too many beers!
We'll also be soliciting questions via our social media or if you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments. We'd love you to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss future episodes of our wafflings, as well as our Cooking in a Van episodes plus Rosie's Van Tours and our other adventures on the road as a family of 7!

Hello! Frank De Digger is BACK for some more major land clearing to level off the terrace where we are soon to install a massive poly tunnel. In today's episode (EP11) on our off grid land aka 'The Wild Lands' we get the infamous 'Frank De Digger' back with his Bobcat Digger to also clear several other large terraces for our fruit forest and permaculture beds. The process feels quite destructive as we chop down more trees etc, but in reality the land which has been farmed for 100's of years has suffered and the pine trees present a big fire risk. We'll be paying this back planting many fruit trees and vegetables on our homestead as well as flowering plants to encourage pollinators.
We highly recommend Frank De Digger and he can be found on Facebook for any digger work around Castelo Branco.
We are now the proud owners of a stunning off grid property in Portugal, Lobateira, which we've renamed 'The Wild Lands'. We've been searching for our own slice offgrid heaven to start a homestead.
