EU Travel Insurance and Travelling During COVID - Daily Vlog Ep5 - Real Vanlife
Hi all :)
Welcome to our daily(ish) real vanlife Vlog. Today I'm talking about travelling in the COVID new norm post lockdown to the EU, specifically France and/or Spain AND about insurance. So if you're UK based can you get travel insurance while some of the countries you visit are on the FCO essential travel only list? Can you quarantine in your van or Moho whilst travelling back to the UK? Is it safe and are there border checks?
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 Vlogs :)
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!
Today's vlog is a quick look around the Spanish campsite that we're at right now. This is real vanlife - a cloudy day coupled with 9 hours of editing and no driving = depleted batteries! Luckily we found a little gem of a site - cheap, quiet and right by the beach.
Follow our daily(ish) Vlogs for Vanlife updates on COVID-19 travel restrictions in Spain.

Hello! Our fourth installment of our shade house build and It's Fridays Daily Vlog, our 11th 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 4 we look at rain water catchment using four IBC to collect 4000 liters of rainwater.
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.

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! And welcome to 3rd episode in our new Portugal series as we apply for the Portuguese D7 Passive Income Visa also known as the National Visa. In today's episode we take the train up to London to finally make the actual application at VFS Global for our D7 or National Portuguese visa.
WE nearly weren't allowed to attend the appointment DOH!
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 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.
We've decided to do a runner! Get our Visa, COVID-19 tests in hand and escape to Portugal to look at buying land.

We are currently travelling in Spain, having left the UK at the end of June. Here we journey deeper into southern Spain, find many beaches and swelter in 40+ degrees of pelting sun. We AGAIN have the sad news that some of our fave park ups are no more!

How to disassemble a pallet THE EASY WAY, without splitting the wood...DON'T USE A HAMMER!!! Pallet wood is becoming really popular but pulling apart a pallet can be really hard work and frustrating task if you don't know how to do it. Another issue with dismantling a pallet is that the boards tend to split if not removed properly. Pallet wood can be brittle so care needs to be taken when dismantling the pallet. This video looks at two techniques on how to pull apart a pallet. We find THE FASTEST METHOD!

Hello! In today's vlog we drive through Spain and attempt to cross the municipal border into Valencia. There was some stunning scenery along the way, as well as stops to visit a castle and grab LPG for the stove. We found the sun and took the goodest boys to the beach for a run.
