Missy's turn to film and edit a daily vlog! This was finished and uploading last night, but the signal was just too weak... Ah well, we tried! PLEASE POST ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE IN THE COMMENTS :) 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 are currently travelling in France, heading back to the UK for a brief visit with family. We'd love you to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss future episodes of our adventures on the road!

Hello! In today's episode (EP8) we have our first land chat, where we update you on a BIG change to our plans. We also have news on our D7 Portuguese Visa AND we answer some of your questions... ENJOY! :) 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. ?

Hello! Today we start building our shade house and It's Fridays Daily Vlog, our 5th daily episode. A shade house is a gazebo like structure with the primary aim to give us shade from the sun, keep the rain out, but more importantly to also collect 4000 liters of rainwater. In part 1 we start building the basic strucrure. We are now the proud owners of a stunning off grid property in Portugal, Lobateira, which we've renamed 'The Wild Lands'.

Hello! And welcome our second episode in our new series as we apply for the Portuguese D7 Passive Income Visa also known as the National Visa. We've been 'stuck' in the UK (again) since returning to see loved ones over Christmas with COVID-19 border restrictions further protracted by Brexit! Not only does the D7 Visa allow us to legally resume travel (correct at the time of posting), but we can effectively bypass most of the Brexit travel restrictions, including the 90/180 Schengen max days in the EU/Schengen Zone. To find out what the Portuguese D7 visa or National visa is and to get more information as to how it can counter some of the measures imposed post Brexit now we've officially left the EU, as a 3rd country, please watch the previous episode (EP 1 ) of the Portugal series. We've decided to do a runner! Get our Visa, COVID-19 tests in hand and escape to Portugal to look at land. Bearing in mind the visa application can take 60 days, then we require our Animal health checks and then COVID-19 tests, so sure restrictions may well be quite different in a few months, but we are pressing on with our application.
