Our Jobs and Income Living Real Vanlife - Daily Vlog - (Episode 3)
Hi all :) This is our 3rd daily VLOG. Where today i'm focusing not on snazzy editing but talk about our full time living of the ol Vanlife. We asked you for your questions and here we answer what do we do for a living/jobs while on the road full time and where does our income come from and how we budget.
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!
We fitted a Victron Digital Multi Control in our van so we can switch our Victron Multi Plus inverter/charger on and off remotely!
Saving us the hassle of going round to the boot to switch it on and off on the inverter/charger itself. Now we can do it while we're in bed if we want!

We love Victron products. They're built really well, work reliably, are simple to install and look pretty sleek too. Victron have a community online where you can ask questions and get really great advice from knowlegable people, often Victron employees who really know their stuff.
Our solar charger, battery monitor and battery to battery charger are all Victron too, we highly recommend them.

Hello! Juan is ill today in our Daily Vlog, our 8th daily episode, Monday.
Off to the vets Juan has to go in Castelo Branco to have his sore feet looked at.
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! Our fifth installment of our shade house build and it's Tuesday's Daily Vlog - our 15th daily episode. A shade house is a gazebo like structure with the primary aims to give us shade from the sun, keep the rain out, and collecting rainwater in 4 IBCs. In today's episode we cover the IBCs and build a beautiful balcony style side. It's very nearly finished!

We are currently stuck in isolation in the UK, what was supposed to be a weeks return to see family has turned into isolation for an unknown period of time.
So we thought we'd use some of the time tweaking The Sub, and have added our new toilet this week. We previously had a Simploo composting toilet which was frankly and excuse the pun CRAP! A hunk of plastic which just wasn't up for full time van life usage.
So we've upgraded to a Strumpet and Trollop wooden toilet. These are available fully built, but we decided to order a flat packed one, so we could at Rosie's request spray it glittery pink! Much of this we time lapsed, and we are very pleased with it, its exceptionally BLING!
This is NOT an affiliate link, but we really do recommend them:
https://strumpetandtrollop.com
We live and travel in Europe in a converted yellow DHL delivery van 'The Sub' 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'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!
