France in Lockdown! Will We Get To Spain? Real Vanlife - Daily Vlog Ep8, More COVID-19 Restrictions
Hi all :) Welcome to our daily(ish) real vanlife Vlog today we are at episode 8.
We are currently in France having arrived to hear of the impending full lockdown which takes effect this evening at midnight (Thurs 29th Oct). We drove for 8 hours today covered 350 miles in an attempt to get to Spain before lockdown, we're not sure if Spain will allow us in either, so it's all a bit tense! We also took a Google maps fail detour and ended up stuck in central Paris, the joys of real full-time van life. We did get to see the Eiffel Tower from our traffic jam though!
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'd love you to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss future episodes of our adventures on the road!
IT'S NEVER DULL OFF GRID, there's so much to be built! We start building our GeodomeX, we NEARLY get our 50,000 litre water storage plumbed in and we fail at growing.... PLUS what do we buy for our rustic cabin build??
PLUS LOTS of updates this episode!
We are living OFF GRID with NO mains electricity, NO mains water or sewage. Can we build our dream life homesteading?
Follow our daily lives in this new series to find out our successes and failures as we learn how to survive in the woods!

Hello! Today we show you how to pick Olives. We visit a friends land locally to us, to help him harvest his olives. We also have a quick peek around his off grid land for a little tour of his fabulous place! Sorry we missed yesterdays daily Vlog while we picked all these lovely olives for the day!
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! In today's episode, we look at the 4 more off grid properties in Portugal. 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 look at 4 very different pieces of land/properties to see if any can top the previous 3 viewings. One has a house and several lovely ruins others have orchards and many fruit trees. Which ones do you like?
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.
