What a wonderful story! I live the mystery of finding a home on a ‘feeling’. So romantic.

absolutely agree with everything you said…..getting down over the weather in UK for sure is an issue for us……cannot wait to make our dream a reality next summer . Love the Q and As. very helpful just gather all our information. xx

I liked this Q&A session because both of you gave such a detailed answer as to why Portugal. Very interesting to hear it from each of you and I am sure Guys feeling was the right one. I am so pleased for you both.

Afternoon sorry I missed the chance to submit a question but I just wondered if you could jog my memory on one of your videos on your last channel you mentioned about something that can be done to avoid paying Portuguese taxes for the first 2 years while you transition across do you remember what this was called so I can do some research also the video you used to have about the houses you almost bought do you still have that as we are actually going to buy one of them but wanted to look at your footage as well as we only have pictures. Many Thanks

Kylie may know, watch out when planting bananas, if you decide not, they are very hard to remove, it's the rhizome. If you do, hire a digger, it's so much easier, and quicker.

🙏 All the best 🥰💞😍

Most important question of them all since i kinda want to do the same thing : how did you move the cat(s)? I love my cat so much and i really have no idea how he would react when he has to travel in a car for like 2 days…

🌟👍🍀💐

I remember watching when you set up your compost system originally, I'm going to be building ours soon using old pallets, would love a video just on composting what you've done that works and what you wish you'd known to start with, what your plans are etc… Those banana plants are remarkably hardy and used to grow very well on a Greek island both in the mountains and on the beach.

Are you obliged to pay some sort of property tax to own your property?

We love Portugal. Do to muscle problems camping with an tent was no longer an option,so we bought in 2017 a tent trailer and traveld from the Netherlands to Portugal. We loved it so much! Traveld from Spain trough the interior to Lisbon.
We are definitely coming back!

Now my question, how do you guys provide a stable income? Is it all youtube and stuff like that, of some other jobs next to is as well?

Keep up the good live! Deep respect.

After watching all the videos in the channel so far, I must say what an impressive job you are doing in the house and property. Really amazing! The problem with properties in the Portuguese interior is that after the owners passed, the heirs usually live in urban centres and there is always troubles with splitting the inheritance and properties such as yours degrade into ruins. It is projects such as yours that is bringing new life to houses like this which is revitalising our interior. greetings from the Azores!

Holy shit, i had no clue you were in Sertã! Ive spend my summer holidays for the past 4 years there. And i can completely understand the love for the vibe there. The river beaches alone are more than worth it. Hope i get to see you guys in August. BTW, have you been to the "Ponte Romana" restaurant?

Great videos. Nice mix of answers to questions and focus on small projects.

Gosto de ver seus lindos vídeos. Lugar lindo, tranquilo. Vocês são guerreiros. 🇧🇷

🥸👍

No questions. Just love what you do.Enjoy.

Bananas just give fruit once, and new trees will be born from the mother. In Madeira, they cut them off, cause they won't give more fruit, the way they spread, is like a rizoma or like strawberries, in a certain line. They use the dried leaves to make baskets and rugs and things of the kind. As much as I have seen, not because I'm an expert on the thing, but in my Grand father home, we had them and I remember they stayed near the fences, as they make good "wall" of green, if we can say such thing. And they will give new plants, the day they give their own banana bunch, the stem will give birth to a new plant, and this will give a new bunch, one year later or year and a half. Some people consider them as a plague…. 😉😀

Hi. Did you take a British car over and use it when you first moved over? Just wondering how the registration and insurance would work.

As you have a woodchiper i would recommend Elaeagnus bushes 😉 I use the chips as groundcover or in our compost pile

Love to watch what you're doing because our story, along with many others, is very similar. We quit the rat race to find a lower cost, lower stress place to live better and differently. We came about 6 months after you two. The climate, culture, people. We looked at a few countries before concluding Portugal was it. Ticked the boxes. Space and land under the sun to work, to build and grow stuff, tend animals. 15 months and we're just settling into the start of a new life.

You look like a proper dickhead. The lady is nice and respectable though.

Sejam bem vindos e felizes.

A beautiful landscape!!! You have accomplished so much!!! 😊❤️🎶🇨🇦

Thank you.

We so agree with you on how lovely the Portuguese people are as well as going on the feel of a place. When we first visited Lisbon it felt good and we were greeted by a big sign(which is still there on the side of a building) "Feels like Home". And we are not city people. Since moving here we have met and made friends with many lovely people that are on our same wavelength too. We do recommend anyone thinking of coming to explore various regions to see what might suit because where we thought we wanted a few years ago has changed. We will be joining you shortly in the center in Tomar. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for all the valuable information you share about your lives in Portugal. I would be interested in how you found your house and property. Can you recommend certain platforms or websites to look for things?

Once planted, dwarf Bananas take 3-4 years to fruit. Just brought a place in Obidos Lagoon, so will soon be resident there, similar reasons to those explained here. Take Care D
