It’s good for you to see all sides of buying land. I think you should just go travel while you can. I’m 80 now and having trouble with my legs (stairs are darn near impossible) and more fatigue (since covid) which I never foresaw as a problem I would have with aging!!!!! Never expected it. Sooooo go while you can and still have youth.
Neil - I was active with 5 kids and a real estate business. I traveled too. I wasn’t “athletic “ with an active routine of exercise. The legs going was a real shock. I don’t know whether to blame it on Statins, or Covid or a pesky gene turning on “now your going to age rapidly”.
Hi guys, I definitely think you are doing the right thing at this present time, putting buying land on a back burner. Such a lot to think about and be responsible for. Anyway you've got lot's of travelling to do, film's to make to keep me entertained on Thursday evenings. Thanks guys. Take care 🙂 💕 xx
Are you joining the hordes of the naive in the Portuguese land grab because it seems fashionable or because your friends have done it and bought land with a goat/pig hut on it, there is a reason Castelo Branco is cheap - it's a deserted tinder dry dust bowl in summer full of flammable trees - stay away
Another great vlog, never fails to entertain and explain. You guys are so generous and inclusive with your life decisions, thank you for brining us along for the ride, see you next week.
Oh yes, buy the abandoned, haunted house! The photography and scenery is stunning as usual. Stay chilled, you are doing the right thing. If something comes along that’s great, if not, that’s great. 😀
Look guys you talk to us about your plans and one has to see all sides of it which you have done. you set off on your journey to suss it out and chosen to put your fur babies first. Your thoughts make sense. Those caterpillars sound awful. I don't think you haven't looked into it properly. You have been sensible to go and see what it is like and made a decision on that. Whatever you do we will always look forward to your adventures. Home, Spain or the UK your vlogs are great. It isn't always about what you do it is about how much fun you guys are. xx
Enjoyed this and appreciate you explaining the pros and cons to buying a parcel of land in Portugal - now I understand 😊 I love how you include your dogs in the video with cut always to their sweet faces as you’re talking to us. Strange about the lone goat (hope it wasn’t abandoned along with the empty lovely home with the gorgeous view) . It is 100’f here all week. We hike in the dawn and wilt inside the rest of the day (despite having excellent AC). I am not a fan of summer heat. Glad you’re all doing well and enjoying July (egads- the month is almost over)
Hello, I think the extreme heat we have been surprised by this summer is just a taste of things to come. Holding off on buying land in an area that does get hot is a good plan. You have your lovely home to retreat to and with the rest of the time roam and experience all you can. Love how Charie kept his ears up listening to you as you were talking while he was in his spot under Vinney. Love all of you, take care.
I love you two and your dogs. Stay on the road, you're videos are so uplifting and the places you go really cheer me up. When life gets tough it's half an hour of escapism for me. Thanks.
I‘m trying not to be a pain, but I wanted to share something I discovered this week for my hot dogs. (Btw, I have to grab my boy out of the sun, like you did, too!) i bought the not so cheap cooling vests from Hurtta. They’re fantastic. You wet them, wring them out and put in on the dogs like a coat, but it cools them down. They stopped panting and fell asleep, really relaxed. Thought I‘d tell you. I totally agree, travel, leave the land until you find yourself somewhere where it’s suddenly a no-brainer. Your videos have totally inspired me, btw. Really interesting to watch, you’re both really likeable and your dogs are darlings.
You are 100% doing the right thing. We live near Coimbra and the heat is brutal at times even with fans etc. I wish we had bough right up North (Caminha) on border near Galicia which is a beautiful area and so much milder in summer and winter. I'm not getting why you wouldn't rather just buy in Galicia. Beautiful forest and stunning coastline and much cooler. Im would get a cheap place up there to escape the summer for a couple of months if I could find a way..
Thanks for the info Jacqueline.. We’re keeping our options open for sure.. As you say we really think the heat will be too much and it could get worse as the years go by! Thanks so much for watching..😁
I love that we're seeing all this in real time, decisions on the fly! So much fun to come along for. It's exactly how life goes though, one minute you're deciding one thing and then you think oh hang on, maybe not, and then....who knows! Haha, I love it!!
I always stock up on Halley insect repellent whilst in Spain. It's a natural repellent and it works. I've never been bitten when using it and I've used it all over the world. Plus it has a pleasant smell. Sounds like I'm a sales rep but I'm not just someone who thinks it Brill....
I use essential lemon oil. As someone that gets eaten alive, I don't get one bite using the oil. But - you will smell highly of lemon..🍋 I also dab it around, carefully (as it's an oil)
25:04 - What do you mean, Nick ? : "Not a load of content." Sand, wind, heat, beach strolls, eb and flood, considering the future, flashback to the past, one dog under the ceiling, one dog under the floor, major cleanup, bolts with vaseline, potential haunted mansion for potential purchase and habitation. Thanks for sharing your adventures, big and small.
Great video as usual guys. Editing is superb and would definitely rival many tv productions. Do whatever makes you (and the doggies) happiest and don't worry too much about 'what ifs'. Enjoy every minute of your travels.
You are very sensible thinking through the land in Portugal and seeing it in the hottest. part of the year. I was thinking of Portugal, as I left Africa at 38 and moved to Uk. But when I saw the temperatures and the problem with the caterpillars it also put me off as I have a precious dog. Love your two furry babies adorable expressions. You are born travellers by the sounds of it. Take every opportunity to do what you love whilst you are still young. Time passes very fast.
What a stunning beach that was. You are doing the best thing about researching land purchase, so many things to consider. The cons appear to be a bit higher than the pros just now, judging from your explanation of things. I know you will do what's right for you and the doggies. Youre both such lovely decent people, you deserve to enjoy your life whatever you do. Take care all of you lol Alioban xxxx
Changing your mind is wise as your knowledge and experience changes. Not a good idea to buy property in the interior of Portugal, in future the weather can only get more severe. You have a lovely little cottage as a base in Spain , perhaps all you need now is to upgrade your old trusty van to something newer, though not bigger.
Love that you are so realistic and have no problems telling the pros and cons of the Portugal land buy. There are other warm countries as well. But heat and too much of it can be very overrated unless you are near the sea. Friends bought in Mallorca and spent years fighting the local buraucracy for permits and this and that,,, there seemed to be hurdles with every little thing they wanted to do and they finally got fed up with it all, sold and moved back to Canada where it might be a bit cooler but they love being 'home'. The two of you love to travel but I think 'home' is where your heart is, so keep that in mind.
Watched a few of your videos. There very good and enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to watching your old videos New strut will fix your tailgate.
Enjoyed so much exploring the back and forth of your dilemma. So many of us have sling-shotted in similar ways since Covid changed everything ;-) As my son always reminds me -- "It's all good." 💞
I can’t believe this even after you posted about those scammers sending people text me at telegram those jerks just emailed me again. They just really want to get some money. Maybe they keep answering me because I say I’m old. Which I am but damn. Thankfully I’m not stuck on stupid. I’m glad I know when it’s you actually answering me. Thank you for always being so kind to me and personal to me.
The gas struts have had it guys. I've just bought two from ebay for the large roof light on our touring caravan and replaced them. Check the length, the fittings at each end of the strut and the weight the strut is designed to hold up. Love all your videos and we follow them every week.
Hi, I really enjoyed your video today, I think its nice having a glimpse into your ideas and plans and motivations, I feel it gives more meaning to be able to be apart of your journey. Your futures sounds very exciting regardless, and I hope to hear more of your ideas as your adventures continue. Thanks for a great video, have a lovely safe time where ever you are. Take care.
Hi guys loved the video and scenery it looks more comfortable for the boys and yourselves Good to see your having a great time travelling. .Carnt wait for next week Love to the boys Take care 🥰🐶🐶xx
Hello from not so Sunny Ireland! Just started the Wild Atlantic Way and parked overlooking the ocean tonight. Looking forward to pressing ahead tomorrow…loved the ‘scary atmosphere’ at the first spot you stayed at…😂 hugs for all, Donna x
Lovely video this evening, that abandoned, haunted house looked fab, great idea to buy it if you can find out who owns it. Don't stop travelling, we would all miss your adventures in gorgeous Vinny, he's so cute 😍
Life's about options. It's good to have them. Take your sweet time your still young. That coast is beautiful but the winds can be pretty fierce especially further north around Aveiro. Stay happy 👍
I’m glad you’re in a place that is much cooler it seems more enjoyable. Take care of yourselves and the and those sweet pups Dizzy and Charlie. ❤️ Thank you for the lovely scenery! Have fun stay safe and try to stay cool. 💕
@@theexPAWers Thank you for always replying to me! And thank you so much for remembering who I am. I was told not to put my real name on TH-cam that’s why I changed part of it. I love you for remembering who I am. Sorry I’m in a bit of a dark place right now. I so enjoy watching your videos. I wish you could understand how much the four of you mean to me. I’m a very lonely older woman that’s why I watch a lot of TH-cam. 😉Lol ! I have my little Dexter but sometimes he’s just not enough. You know I do love him with all my heart though. Thank you for always being so kind to me. It really means a lot! You never know what your kindness can do for someone else. Even on the Internet just someone you don’t personally know. Stay safe have tons of fun and enjoy every day together.💕💕
Even though at first glance it may seem a bit scary... LOL The place where they were (Sitio das Hortas) is a Pic Nic and Barbecue area, where families hang out on weekends... more during the summer. It is also a place for bird watching and observation. It is a wild area, because it is part of the Tagus Estuary Natural Reserve. And this place is home to more than 120,000 birds. And it's located in Vila de Alcochete... a fantastic place to live, and Perhaps one of the safest places in the entire region... Alcochete is very famous for its stunning sunsets... and for the food, people, and its parties... and these people like parties lol That's why you can rest assured... that Alcochete is safe, and a fantastic place to explore. P.S. and all these nets and boats... are owned by amateur fishermen, who on weekends are passionate about going fishing in the river... it is a very rich place for sea food.
Hum, a bit crazy, isn't that the new normal? I'm part of same tribe too! Love how you both, open up the gates into our living room viewing areas, with, " just sharing where your thoughts are at and weighing the pros vs cons. Each week, I look forward to a new wonderful vlog content. Keep it going, Thank You!!
Hi guys from NZ, found your channel recently and we have been binge watching over the last few weeks as we are uplifting a camper next year in the UK. Your Scandinavia vlogs have been inspiring as we look at the different routes we will be taking during our year away.
You guys should call this the “Ghost Town Tour” everywhere you go is abandoned😳. I totally get how hard these big decisions are….take your time and the answer will come ….just make sure you take us along😘😘
Hi there, just to get an answer on the strut question, they are not repairable, you have to replace them, its easy, remove a clip or pin, on every ball-end and pull on the strut, to get them off the ball. Ones the struts are loosing strength (loosing oil or gas) , they are gone be worse over time soon. Have fun. Cheers.
Hi guys Interesting about buying Land in Portugal. Need to look into some of the issues before you commit to buying. Hope all goes well though. A lovely country. My neighbors are from Portugal and they are lovely people. Very friendly. Our car boot did the same as yours. Kept dropping so we had to replace the struts. It’s fine now. Hope you continue to travel as you go to some lovely places Take care Love Kim x x
Howdy, I enjoy your vlogs! Here in Central Texas we are experiencing that 40°c. That temp. looks better than our 104°f but we take care of that situation by staying on the cool side of the door! Not sure what we would do in a van. Guess watching you guys enjoying your van life! Keep safe and enjoy your furry friends. That pup playing in the beach sand was fun!
what a beautiful beach. buy a bit of land where you live and you can attend to it anytime. what about a roof garden, where you can grow things, think out of the box. I luv your videos fantastic as always. stay safe.
A really good vlog. So much has changed everywhere since covid & not for the better 😢. Very wise to put land buy to the side for now. You do amazing travels to wonderful places, & always prioritise the furr babies wellbeing. 😘🐾🐾😘🐾🐾💗💙. Keep enjoying & hopefully the world will find balance again, where it seems to have lost its way at present. Big hugs stay safe & well, above all enjoy the journey 🎉🌊🐚💙💗💙💙
Just go traveling plenty of time to settle down when your older ! Just bought one of those dinky little hoovers for my boat I’m a bit excited about it 🤷♀️ thanks for the heads up 👍
@@moonyshine not really tried it properly yet I’m away next week on my boat so it’ll get tested throughly then ! I did have a little go with it in my car and it seemed ok 👍
Stay with the travels while you can, but keep house as a base to come home to. Never know when you might need a stable place to be at! The more houses you have, especially in different countries, the more responsibility .And as you young guys mature,lol, you want to free yourself from more of that! Don’t complicate your lives. Keep up your adventures cause I love watching y’all!!
Excellent video nick and Sarah great video keep them coming folks and make sure you look after the boys and you both care of each other god bless u both xx
Maybe, look at land round there closer to the sea, where it’s so much cooler? Buy a wreck of a house, with less land, but still with scope to be self sufficient and build projects on. So many abandoned places where families have moved into the cities…
Hi great vlog, the village looks like the place that time forgot. I think you are making the right decision not buying land yet, enjoy travelling and keep the vlogs coming. Have a great week. See you Thursday 😊 xx
I'm seeing a lot of van-lifers searching out property to purchase in Portugal and I have not heard any of them talking about these caterpillars. It's excellent you are putting this out there because a few of them have dogs traveling with them. I googled them and it sounds horrible. I know I would be so obsessed with cutting down branches with the nests and burning them, I would have time to do anything else. No place is paradise, huh?
Glad to hear you are re-thinking buying land in Portugal. With climate change areas like central Portugal are likely to get more extreme in the coming years. Also, I think the we are heading into an economically turbulent period so it may be a good idea to not make any big moves just now. Good luck, be safe and give the doggies a treat or two!
Stunning locations, and loving the abandoned buildings. Please think carefully about buying in Portugal 🇵🇹. It’s too hot for the dogs. I know you’ll both make the right decision for you. Kiss Dizzee and Charlie for me, and stay safe. Your video editing is amazing. 🦮🥰🇬🇧🥰🦮
You do right to consider all the options, pros and cons and until you are actually there its very difficult to know how you will feel. Land purchase is a big thing sp best to take your time - as you say if you fall in love with a property - you will have your answer
It’s good for you to see all sides of buying land. I think you should just go travel while you can. I’m 80 now and having trouble with my legs (stairs are darn near impossible) and more fatigue (since covid) which I never foresaw as a problem I would have with aging!!!!! Never expected it. Sooooo go while you can and still have youth.
I hope you get your energy back and your legs improve, Priscilla.
Were you very active and athletic ? That worries me most about aging as my joints are already feeling it at 34 due to active lifestyle
Neil - I was active with 5 kids and a real estate business. I traveled too. I wasn’t “athletic “ with an active routine of exercise. The legs going was a real shock. I don’t know whether to blame it on Statins, or Covid or a pesky gene turning on “now your going to age rapidly”.
Totally agree , Pricilla Chapman , I’m exactly the same x
Mine is fibromyalgia.
Hi guys, I definitely think you are doing the right thing at this present time, putting buying land on a back burner. Such a lot to think about and be responsible for. Anyway you've got lot's of travelling to do, film's to make to keep me entertained on Thursday evenings.
Thanks guys. Take care 🙂 💕 xx
They sure do! Look forward to their vlog every week😊
market could crash soon
Thankyou so much Simon, yep we’ll keep these travel vlogs coming! ❤️ x
Are you joining the hordes of the naive in the Portuguese land grab because it seems fashionable or because your friends have done it and bought land with a goat/pig hut on it, there is a reason Castelo Branco is cheap - it's a deserted tinder dry dust bowl in summer full of flammable trees - stay away
Another great vlog, never fails to entertain and explain. You guys are so generous and inclusive with your life decisions, thank you for brining us along for the ride, see you next week.

Hello, I think the extreme heat we have been surprised by this summer is just a taste of things to come. Holding off on buying land in an area that does get hot is a good plan.

And it's located in Vila de Alcochete... a fantastic place to live, and Perhaps one of the safest places in the entire region... Alcochete is very famous for its stunning sunsets... and for the food, people, and its parties... and these people like parties lol
That's why you can rest assured... that Alcochete is safe, and a fantastic place to explore.
P.S. and all these nets and boats... are owned by amateur fishermen, who on weekends are passionate about going fishing in the river... it is a very rich place for sea food.
Thankyou so much for all the info!! ❤️ x
Hum, a bit crazy, isn't that the new normal? I'm part of same tribe too!

Hi guys from NZ, found your channel recently and we have been binge watching over the last few weeks as we are uplifting a camper next year in the UK. Your Scandinavia vlogs have been inspiring as we look at the different routes we will be taking during our year away.
😊😊thanks guys xx
Brilliant again thanks for sharing 👍
Thankyou so much ❤️ x
You guys should call this the “Ghost Town Tour” everywhere you go is abandoned😳. I totally get how hard these big decisions are….take your time and the answer will come ….just make sure you take us along😘😘
Will do! Thanks so much for watching..😁
I think that you should just stick with your lovely house in Spain, and travels in Vinnie.
Lovely to see Charlie looking better.
❤😊
What a fantastic vlog again you are amazing.i look forward to seeing you every week xxx

Hi nick Sarah I was in Peniche in April me and my dog bob it was very windy then enjoy your trip barry and bob dog
Hi there, just to get an answer on the strut question, they are not repairable, you have to replace them, its easy, remove a clip or pin, on every ball-end and pull on the strut, to get them off the ball. Ones the struts are loosing strength (loosing oil or gas) , they are gone be worse over time soon. Have fun. Cheers.
Thanks 😊
Loved the montage at min 23.
Hi guys
Interesting about buying Land in Portugal. Need to look into some of the issues before you commit to buying. Hope all goes well though. A lovely country. My neighbors are from Portugal and they are lovely people. Very friendly.
Our car boot did the same as yours. Kept dropping so we had to replace the struts. It’s fine now.
Hope you continue to travel as you go to some lovely places
Take care
Love Kim x x

Howdy, I enjoy your vlogs! Here in Central Texas we are experiencing that 40°c. That temp. looks better than our 104°f but we take care of that situation by staying on the cool side of the door! Not sure what we would do in a van. Guess watching you guys enjoying your van life! Keep safe and enjoy your furry friends. That pup playing in the beach sand was fun!
❤
I was in Texas twice brutal heat and not so good politics
Have a fab time xxx
what a beautiful beach.
buy a bit of land where you
live and you can attend to it anytime.
what about a roof garden,
where you can grow things,
think out of the box.
I luv your videos
fantastic as always.
stay safe.
❤
Foz do Lizandro, wonderful place , wonderful people, very close to ERICEIRA , my favorite place in the Lisbon coast!
❤
A really good vlog. So much has changed everywhere since covid & not for the better 😢. Very wise to put land buy to the side for now. You do amazing travels to wonderful places, & always prioritise the furr babies wellbeing. 😘🐾🐾😘🐾🐾💗💙. Keep enjoying & hopefully the world will find balance again, where it seems to have lost its way at present. Big hugs stay safe & well, above all enjoy the journey 🎉🌊🐚💙💗💙💙
awwwww, Thankyou so much Elizabeth ☺️☺️xx
Just go traveling plenty of time to settle down when your older ! Just bought one of those dinky little hoovers for my boat I’m a bit excited about it 🤷♀️ thanks for the heads up 👍
Is it any good llc? Was thinking about one for my van too
@@moonyshine not really tried it properly yet I’m away next week on my boat so it’ll get tested throughly then ! I did have a little go with it in my car and it seemed ok 👍
❤❤
👍 always good to see you guys take care enjoy 🌸 Australia
❤❤
So much work you put in to the filming and editing now, it makes it very interesting and nice to watch. Regards Rickard from Sweden 🇸🇪
❤
Stay with the travels while you can, but keep house as a base to come home to. Never know when you might need a stable place to be at!
The more houses you have, especially in different countries, the more responsibility .And as you young guys mature,lol, you want to free yourself from more of that! Don’t complicate your lives. Keep up your adventures cause I love watching y’all!!
❤❤
Excellent video nick and Sarah great video keep them coming folks and make sure you look after the boys and you both care of each other god bless u both xx
Kisses are for Sarah nick lol
♥️❤️
Maybe, look at land round there closer to the sea, where it’s so much cooler? Buy a wreck of a house, with less land, but still with scope to be self sufficient and build projects on. So many abandoned places where families have moved into the cities…
Hi great vlog, the village looks like the place that time forgot. I think you are making the right decision not buying land yet, enjoy travelling and keep the vlogs coming. Have a great week. See you Thursday 😊 xx
Thankyou so much ❤️ x
I'm seeing a lot of van-lifers searching out property to purchase in Portugal and I have not heard any of them talking about these caterpillars. It's excellent you are putting this out there because a few of them have dogs traveling with them. I googled them and it sounds horrible. I know I would be so obsessed with cutting down branches with the nests and burning them, I would have time to do anything else. No place is paradise, huh?
Great vlog guys as usual. Yes just replace the struts on the door before it fails totally 👍
❤
You two are so cool x
I love ❤️ Charlie! 🐕…… and Dizzee! (Sorry Diz!)🐕🦺 GO WITH THE FLOW, yeh! 🚐
Haha, thanks so much Jacqueline ❤
Greece and the Greek islands would be good to see. Xxx
Great video 👍🤩
The mighty Atlantic ocean 😍🙌🏼
😊
Glad to hear you are re-thinking buying land in Portugal. With climate change areas like central Portugal are likely to get more extreme in the coming years. Also, I think the we are heading into an economically turbulent period so it may be a good idea to not make any big moves just now. Good luck, be safe and give the doggies a treat or two!
Thankyou so much for the advice Jack, much appreciated ❤️ x
Glad to hear that you are heading north! It's easier to just replace the struts. Safe travels!
Thankyou so much ❤️ x
Stunning locations, and loving the abandoned buildings. Please think carefully about buying in Portugal 🇵🇹. It’s too hot for the dogs. I know you’ll both make the right decision for you. Kiss Dizzee and Charlie for me, and stay safe. Your video editing is amazing. 🦮🥰🇬🇧🥰🦮
Will do!! ❤ thanks Terry xx
Just found your channel....it looks just amaxing.....🌷🌼🌻😐😃🌸💮
awwwww, Thankyou! And welcome here☺️☺️xx
You do right to consider all the options, pros and cons and until you are actually there its very difficult to know how you will feel. Land purchase is a big thing sp best to take your time - as you say if you fall in love with a property - you will have your answer
❤❤
I love the landscape in the Scottish Highlands. That’s where I’d buy land if I had the chance. 😁
❤
My takeaway from this video is "shall we get another van" !! another great video - food for thought as I'm looking to buy some land there soon
❤
