On and off, we have been traveling for over 20 years and have explored more than 160 of the world’s 193 countries, it’s been quite a journey, and now we are sharing our adventures weekly here on YouTube with new episodes EVERY SUNDAY. We’re currently renovating an abandoned farm in Northern Portugal, documenting every step of the journey.

  12. BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THE BAMBOO TREES ARE SO HARD TO GET RID OF THEY WILL COME BACK LOVE THE OUTDOOR SHOWER IDEA YOU HAVE SO MANY THINGS YOU COULD DO WITH THAT PROPERTY RENT IT OUT TO A VINYARD AND DO WINE TASTING ORCHARD OF APPLES OR WHATEVER GROWS OVER THERE DO AIR BNB AND DO SOME TEACHING AND JUST RELAXING I LOVE IT!

  16. Another great episode, great to see things are coming along as you wish, hopefully you will get this water issue sorted especially with the hot weather coming along. Great to see Crusoe having so much fun, can't imagine the adventures he will have on the property while growing up. One lucky little dude!!! Lol. Have a great week, looking forward to the next episode already. Big thumbs up and thanks for sharing your life with us all.

  18. …just a new subs for almost a month..and i just fell in love with your family…Crusoe will surely have such an amazing childhood… with wonderful place + stunning house + loving and supermom and super dad = Happy Crusoe..

  20. I so look forward to your video updates. Life in our house is pretty tough right now and watching you guys with your joy, love and positivity gives me the lift I so need. I can’t wait to watch your adventure unfurl. Thank you xxx

  26. I'm sure you are working on learning Portuguese. But I just wanted to throw out an awesome resource. I've followed a guy who goes by Xiaomancy who speaks & now twaches people how to learn Conversational speaking instead of straight up vocabulary or formal vs informal, etc.His style is totally different from any I've ever come across. I hope this makes it easier to find him, so here's a direct link to him & video where he talks about his "system". HTH! 😘 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBQLv7Mj7_M

  27. Beautiful video you guys! Just love watching your journey. Need to say a thank you as one of your videos suggested one of my videos in the very confusing world of YouTube algorithm and sent quite a lot of traffic to my very new channel documenting our move from South Africa to Ireland. So huge thank you 💕

  36. I love your video. You have made huge progress in a very short amount of time. John, you are NOT alone in hating plumbing. If a plumbing problem takes longer than 5 minute I call the professionals! See you next week!!!

  39. You are going to be the coolest dad / Grandpa I love how patient and kind and slow to anger you are you are just like the Bible says and when you found out that the shower broke well that just means that the flowers are going to be really happy about a poor job being put together you made lemonade immediately but you put it in such a way that again you would be like the coolest dad or Grandpa you are such a beautiful family and now I can see why.. clearly you guys deserve everything that you are achieving and I'm so happy to have just found you I love your family and I wonder is there any way that somebody like myself that can travel could maybe come and volunteer on your farm? ❤️✌️😎❤️

  41. Yes it is anincredible journey and thank you for bringing us along. I love the name for the rock. I hope you get your water problem resolved very soon. Cruso is adorable exploring his surroundings and yes him and his mates will have a blast under those vines. Great idea for the steps. Keep well all. Oh, by the way, Maria you are such a wonderful neighbour. The world would be a better place with more people like you.

  43. Guys I love your videos. Is there any chance you are going to open up a B&B? I would love to come and see your progress next year when I think you will have surpassed your dreams for your new home.
    Have you given your home a name yet?
    I wish you every happiness you are a beautiful family who exude love.
    On a personal note I have just lost my husband Eddi after nearly 38yrs, having known each other for 40yrs. He was the love of my life and you remind me of how well we got on together, supported each other and loved each other. We had 2 boys who brought great joy in our lives.
    Please never lose that respect and love ýou have for one another and your children.
    I pray God has plans for you to be together for many more years than Eddi and I had because you so very much deserve it.
    Keep up the entertaining and educational videos I enjoy them so much and they help me through my very sad days. xxx

  45. What a beautiful family 🤩😍..so many memories made daily ..It is fabulous that Crusoe can grow up with nature and appreciate the natural things in life ..I am with John plumbing can be a nightmare..Thumbs up John you did well buddy 👍 😀 👌..I hope the plumber came ..Big concern. ..no water..Have a wonderful week .😁🦋🍀🌷🌿🌺🌻

  46. Watching you amid the mud reminded me of building our outdoor shower when we lived in Costa Rica. Best thing about it was the birds perching on the top of the shower, pecking at their reflection on the chrome fittings on the shower head, while looking for a mate.
    Good luck!

  47. I missed the competition. I'd have gone with 'Lovers' Rock'. But hey, you can maybe use that one elsewhere on your lovely property.
    Like most people here, I'm enjoying your journey in laying down these new roots.
