Hello! We filmed today's daily Vlog 3 weeks ago when we returned to the UK for 2 weeks to see family. On the way we met up with Greg Virgoe and Lou for 3 days and 2 nights. Most of you may know the infamous Greg and his awesome channel, covering the ins and outs of self build vans. Many beers were sunk.... we had a great time and also discussed at great length why we live in vans and some of many pros of full-time Van Life Vs the cons of traditional house based living. Follow our daily(ish) Vlogs for Vanlife updates on COVID-19 travel restrictions in Spain.

Hello! And welcome to our real van life wafflings. Today we are doing a few upgrades to the Sub our LWB Mercedes Sprinter van, and repurposing a Lagun Table Leg. It was quite fun actually and broke some of the boredom of the current lockdowns. The cats get involved and tell us how they need more biccies..... Always feels great to adjust and tweak things in the Sub, you never really know what works best until you've been living in a Van full time for a fair while as we have now. We are currently stuck (again) in the UK and with COVID-19 the French border is closed for tourism and travellers alike. WHO ARE WE?

Hello! In today's episode (EP9) we build our first structure on our off grid homestead in Castelo Branco Portugal. We build a simple rustic 'Tarzan' shower to use in the short term while we get more infrastructure on the land. This off grid shower uses water heated in the sunshine and runs off a USB shower pump. At a later date we'll build a more robust compost toilet and shower block with heated hot water solar powered shower. But we LOVE our new Tarzan shower and the views while showering are lovely too! 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 off grid 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. 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've finally bought our own at land in Portugal. Follow us on our adventure in the sun! (and sometimes biblical Portuguese rain!!!) As we start turning The Wild Lands' into our own off grid heaven. ?
