Thx for the kind words, Not all people can see this but this life is the best life to live in and once my grandma said that Land is *GOLD* and just need my kids to grow in such healthy environment and learn where the food comes from.

I agree. My parents both had good jobs and my dad would do about any hustle on the side from buying and reselling cars, doing odds and ends construction work/roofing and such when he wasn't driving a tractor trailer. When I was 10 they bought 1/2 a 20 acre section of land and our neighbors bought the other 10. The following year they bought the land from our neighbor for all 20 acres. We cleared the unwarned thorns and brush, cut trees and sent them to the lumberyard for rough cut materials to build the barn. We put up fencing, bought a farm tractor to till the land and do other work. Planted grass seed for hay, bought cattle and raised them over the winter. We didn't live on the land so I had to walk about a mile each way from fall, through winter, and into the spring. Each day I'd feed the cattle hay. There was a natural spring on the land so there was constant clean water. 14 years later my parents build a house there. It was very hard work, but it was a dream childhood that made me the man I am today. I really wished I could have done something similar for my daughter. I'm so happy you're able to work out your dream and live it. I'm quite happy with my life, but envious of yours. It's an amazing dream and I hope it all works out well. From Eastern USA.

Hello from Nashville,Tn USA. Just found your channel. I am viewing at least 4 families now in Portugal, all interesting!

I grew up in what Missourians call "Ioway." Have lived all over the US (all 4 coasts & all across the middle). Have had a longing eye on Portugal ever since I took my 18yo graduate there in 2006. Now there's a grandchild keeping me here.

I am 80 years old, so I understand where you’re coming from! GOD Bless!

That comment means so much coming from you guys! ❤️ You're one of my biggest inspirations & reasons I'm living this life & documenting it on KZfaq 😊

I do believe I will ENJOY your channel. You are very easy to listen to. Pleasant voice! Wish you THE BEST!

I wish you the best of luck on your new vlog and on your first video. They are a follower of The Indie Projects and now yours. Good luck and many blessings in your new project.

@@LifebyLiving lol...

Yep brilliant volg I follow a lot of French volgs yours is definitely up there so we'll done look forward to your journey thanks for sharing

Thank you Sandra 😊

Sandra, I’m in love with your country, and wish I could move there. I think you are very lucky to be living there…….. 💜

Hi Sandra. as a woman, 90 years old (14 years your senior), I just wanted to compliment your letter. I feel the same way....I,too, have watched the alarming changes in our world, especially over the last 10 years. Although my Handsome Prince and I are on the "downhill slope", confined by both COVID and various infirmities .....we both enjoy the movement by the "youngins" to embrace the old way of life. Looking forward to following Rick's new channel. His charming demeanor makes us feel that he is talking directly to us. It's a gift. I'm subscribing right now. Appreciate your comments as well. ~Recliner Babe~

Hi Rick...I'm a new Subby from State of Washington. My guy and I have been together over 70 years. We are 90 years old, both confined to our home due to aging health problems plus COVID Isolation. You have the "gift of gab".... the ability to come through the camera, make the viewer feel you are talking just to them. I watch many vanlifers, a few have settled on the land, keeping their vehicles for travel mostly. Your story was well told...congratulations on your choice of homesteading in Portugal. Notice you had a congratulatory comment from Bea and Theo (the Indie Projects). If you havent already, watch their videos and/or contact them for a most valuable resource. I'm looking forward to your coming tales and photography to match. Thanks from *Recliner Babe*...and her Handsome Prince.

@@ReclinerBabe Thanks sandra

I just discovered your videos. I love what you are doing💕 I live in central Louisiana.

Thanks John! 🙂

Never too old my mum started a new life by the sea at over 80, still marching up and down the hills of Devon she will be 85 next month

i take my hat off to your family. exchanging a warm dry climate for humid summers and atrocious winters, brrrr!. go home, you know it makes sense.

@@dogpaw775 that's true. You are right. May be into 2 years I will return.

i would leave communist canada as soon as possible

@@S54VR6 ignorant comment! Canada is consistently rated as one of the best countries to live in. If you think we are communists, you know nothing my friend. ✌🏾

@@richardleveille3254 rated by who lmao Trudeau is a literal tyrant. A sheep in a wanna be wolf’s clothing. Led by Klaus Schwab and the band of technocratic communists. You are so incredibly blind.

Thanks for your kind words Amteo! I too have been a long time follower of Theo & Bee & have been so inspired by them over the years. You sound like you’ve lived an exciting life! I love The Netherlands & hope to take Victoria there in the future as she’s never been 🙂

Thank you Tracy 😊 I really appreciate that comment as I worked hard on it. So glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

@@LifebyLiving Totally agree, I'm really impressed and you're answering all my questions as they come into my head! Amazing!

May I ask why you left Ireland? 🙂 I'm Swedish, living in Norway and Ireland is one of the countries we are considering for some time, but the housing crisis is crazy and may make it impossible. Otherwise, (northern) Spain is most likely our goal, but they have other issues.

@Aethuviel Hi, there were a few reasons altogether. Although I have Irish nationality I was born in England and had spent half my life there. When we moved back to Ireland in 2014 we were never really accepted. Getting work is extremely difficult and salaries are dreadful even with 20 years of IT experience. The weather was also a huge factor because I have horses. 6 months of the year my horses lived in bog-like conditions and just managing them was getting tiresome. This is the west of Ireland so although beautiful it is wet, very wet. Another factor was also there was nowhere to ride horses apart from the road. They don't have any bridleways or accessible riding routes. Getting permission to ride in the government owned forests is impossible. Don't get me started on health care either. France had more to offer for our lifestyle.

@@lavignemorte Thank you, very useful information, and I'm glad you found a better place to live. 🙂

@Aethuviel I'm wondering why would anyone want to leave Norway? I live in Scotland - but I fell in love with Norway in the 1980s (didn't find a way to get to stay there). Is it just that some of dream of living elsewhere - and some of us get to make it "over there" - perhaps - and maybe some of us don't! Good luck to everyone and a guid Ne'er fae bonnie Scotland... tae Norrowa o'er the faem: the ballad o Sir Patrick Spens

Haha i live i city in NY and dream of moving to portugal . Its a dream

I TOO LEFT CALIFORNIA FOR INDIANA

I'm so excited to see the Bea and Theo community supporting others. Y'all are absolute treasures and we're so lucky to share the planet with you. I'm excited about seeing their land change too. Hope to see you around again!

@contact Suzi, would you consider starting a KZfaq channel about live in NH?

You fled far!! 😉

Hi from another old South African lady, living in the UK for the last 17 years and am always homesick. My only friends are a German lady and a young Polish man who I call my adopted son. We came here for my British born husband's health because we couldn't afford our wonderful medical system. Everything went pair shaped and he has been bedbound for 9 years. I will definitely follow this new adventure and I have worked with Portuguese people and find them warm and outgoing. With names like ours we might even know each other.
