Introducing Those Weirdos - 7 Living Fulltime on a Van! - Real vanlife
We are Those Weirdos - full-time vanlifers who bring you a variety of videos and Vlogs of our travels... This video introduces you to each of us and our pets after some quite funny bloopers. We live and travel in Europe in a converted DHL delivery van with 2 adults, 1 child, 2 dogs and 2 cats.
This is the first in a planned series of chatshow style videos. 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!
Missy clears an enormous patch of brambles and explains why we won't be getting rid of all of them. Watch to the end for two minutes of peace exploring Wild Lands.

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 are currently travelling in Spain, having left the UK at the end of June. Here we cross over into Spain over the Pyrenees. We have the sad news that some of our fave park ups are no more! We get trapped in a car park AGAIN, and we realize it's been a shockingly long time since we had a 'proper' shower!
We live and travel full time in mainland Europe in a converted DHL delivery van with 2 adults, 1 child, 2 dogs and 2 cats.

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.
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.
OUR PETS SPEAK TOO!
THANK YOU

June 26th - How easy is entry to France on the Euro Tunnel after lock down?
We are Those Weirdos, 7 travelling and adventuring in our self converted Sprinter. We've been parked on a driveway (Thanks Mum) for nearly 4 months during lockdown and yesterday on June 26th we left the UK and went to France on the Euro Tunnel.
How hard was it?
Were there delays?
Did we need paperwork?
What about the Quarantine?
We answer all these questions and more!
We 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 are currently driving through France on our way back to the UK. We are self-isolating as we go, which is legal and abiding by the UK government's rules. We show you how to find the information you need on the government website, and tell you how we make it work for us.
Important links:
https://www.gov.uk/ - the Official UK Government website
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-corridors - this is the page with the relevant info on it. In the video we show you how to navigate to this page from the Gov.uk homepage - as it's really quite hard to find among all the other info and links!
Note: this video was filmed on Friday 11th December, when the self-isolation period was 14 days. As of the 15th December, the period will be 10 days!
Please note this is our interpretation of the government advice, and based on our actual experience doing it in October.
Keep an eye on Gov.uk for any further updates.
Follow our other travel Vlogs for Real Vanlife updates and updates on COVID-19 travel restrictions in Spain.
PLEASE POST ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE IN THE COMMENTS, we answer ALL questions and make a note of them and will cover all your questions off in future videos.

After so many days of 40 degrees, summer seems to be finally ending, so we take advantage of one of the last truly hot days to go to one of the most beautiful park ups by the lake in central Portugal and try out our new Freein Sup Board. We also get the drone out and show just how beautiful it is in Central Portugal.
