This last year has been a crazy one, with many ups and downs. Today I want to share the story of our first year here on the land.

New here? My name is Lea and I live with my partner Maarten and our toddler Puck on our land in Central Portugal. We left the rat race in the Netherlands a little over a year ago, and moved south in our old campervan. Last year we bought land in Portugal that had been abandoned for several decades. Slowly we are cleaning the land and building our dream off-grid homestead from the ground up. This channel documents all the different jobs we have to do, and sometimes some nice footage of this beautiful country we now call home. Want to see more updates? Don't forget to subscribe!

Always I look at things from a different perspective. I first watched this video with my crusty old man eyes, not seeing anything but the wrong things that you are doing (to me as a mechanic/ electrician/person that has cleared much land in the past) I did watch it all the way through, then watched it again. And you know what? As you have grown over the last year, I grew over the last 10 minutes 40 seconds. I first glance I saw hippies that had no clue, then I saw people that were tired of the rat race and wanted to do something different, and even without a huge amount of skills to do this they were motivated enough to learn and do anyway. Bravo for you, I wish you peace, love and much success and thank you for the growth I experienced while watching this video!!! obrigado pelo crescimento que experimentei enquanto assistia este vídeo !!!

Wonderful to hear your story Lea Maarten and Puck, and I wish you every success. You have made fantastic progress. The raising of the yurt is so graceful! Your photography is great! I only want to add one thing. YOUR BABY NEEDS A HAT. and so do you. you are Dutch, not Portugese, and I have seen the ravages of skin cancer, and I advise you not to store it up for yourselves and your baby.

@Cate7451 4 года назад

Our Portuguese Homestead , everything is rocket science, but goats probably would like a warm dry place. Add things in one at a time to give yourself time to learn and adjust. Get a goat expert to help you. Find a vet. Animals are always trying to kill themselves. Plant some olive trees so your grandchildren can harvest them. Sorry if I tell you what to do so much. Just take it slowly and the rest will come

@@Cate7451 We're taking it one project at a time :) We already have about 100 olives trees so plenty to harvest, but we might add some more varieties.

@Cate7451 4 года назад

Our Portuguese Homestead , how long does an olive free last? I'll look that up. Sorry to suggest more work. I should know better.its just that they take a long time to come to useful production. Trees weren't what we could afford but I am glad for fruit and berry perennials that we have.

We made the same decision 10 years ago, never regretted it. Portugal is so completely different from NL, the climate, the landscape and above all the Portuguese povo. That was for us the reason to settle here instead of Spain. Hope you had good advice when buying the land, because it looks like there could be a lot of Ren or Ran, meaning most of the things you want to do are not allowed. Mid Portugal is not as bad as the Algarve where they are very strict, especially when it comes to the liçenca de habitação. Once you have all that out if the way it is just mind-blowing relaxed to live here. We are completely off grid as well, you learn a lot during the years. Enjoy every step, and do not hesitate to ask and learn from others. Bem vindo

I really like your adventures. I got into a similar venture in my country Sri Lanka. Big land and started with big spending and finally lost every thing. Went back to my wife's country and started a business and prospered. 10 years ago I returned along and bought a new property of 20 Acres. Living with nature but doing nothing to the land. There is Tea, Pepper and Cinnamon in the land and I am too old now to do any manual work. Yet it is nice living in a jungle all alone. Wife doesn' want to come back.

Village life is the best, the comforts of technology make it so much better.

Technology definitely makes things easier and we can have nothing but respect for those who came before us.

I admired people having an independent life for their living in their farm. I wish your family to have a beautiful life. May God Bless your family in every corner of your living.
