Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

Your property
Another beautiful video! What do you do with the fruit you can't eat? My brother has the same issue. More than he can use. He puts his out at the end of the road. He use to charge a little. Decided not to charge now people leave more money than it's worth.
The promo link does not seem to work.
Is this lake part of your property? You guys are hilarious!! Theo: below the crotch. Yikes 😳 Above the crotch!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't comment a lot, but I avidly consume every video you release. I would be very remiss, though, if I did not stop and tell you how spectacular I feel your editing is. The way you tell the story, and then combine it with vignettes of the scenery, the chickens, the cats--it's just absolutely riveting. I watch quite a few RUclips videos every week in quarantine, and you are at the top of the list for them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us get through these hard months.
Yes... Hear hear....fantastic
Yes . . . so on point with music too.
I fully agree and even mentioned this before as well! On top of all the physical hard work, they manage to come up with fantastic, professional level footage and delivery... I also think Allie (of Trent and Allie) does a good job on this level as well. Most viewers don’t realize that many RUclipsrs source out their filming and editing and hire people to do their videos, like Eamon and Bec.
Much respect Bee and Theo! 😍✊🏻
I agree. I found vanlife videos because of the quarantine. I now agree they help get us out of our areas and see how others are dealing around the world. Very nice!
I meant to say this last video but who's excited to see that Theo got new trousers and runners! 🙌😃
Me too! Saw shiny new shoes and pants with no holes!!🤓
I noticed that too! Lol. I wonder how long these will last???
I noticed his pants right away. NO HOLES ANYWHERE👏👏. And the new shoes look very comfy.
Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

I have to say that I love your new format. It comes at a time when many other RUclipsrs seem to be cutting back to a single weekly video, brief though often frenetic. Your more leisurely pace means that we can join you in appreciating the orange trees, the chickens, the cats with their unique personalities, the Portuguese sunshine, and of course the barn build. Thanks.
Totally agree with you here.
Hi guys, you might want to look in to getting some guinea hens. They will decimate the ticks in no time. And they are very independent once they get started. Most of the the time they just live off the land so you don't really have to feed them. I think they would roost in trees at night so they would not need a shelter.
They really are like little seek and destroy
They’re pretty noisy birds tho🤔
Yes, we had guinea hens on our mini farm in Wyoming, USA
They eat all the bugs, act like alarms against preditors.
@@Mia_9135 yes, and not a nice noise
Roosters are pretty noisy, too, though. ANYTHING to get rid of ticks. Damn things put me in a wheelchair for 4 years. Lyme disease.
A fresh orange and a baby tractor. Living the dream.
I grew up in a rural area, where the majority of my friends' families had large farms. We had a few horses, a couple of dogs, a bunch of barn cats, a barn, a vegetable garden, a pond with fish that we could fish in the summer and skate on in the winter (Canada here!). I used to envy that people lived in cities could walk to the local playground, pop over to their friends house across the street, ride their bicycle to the convenience store to get sweets. After living and working in the city now for almost a decade MAN do I miss country living. You guys are living a dream for so many people including me! I feel so lucky to have had the privilege to grow up where I did even though I didn't always really appreciate it fully at the time. I am so grateful that my mother still lives on the farm where I grew up and I can go there as often as I please (which over this pandemic has been every day I have off of work!). I just want to thank you so much for sharing this part of your life with me, it is always a highlight of my day when I see you have a new video!
I know nothing about editing videos, but I appreciate the way that you include music that enhances what is happening but still often let the natural sounds that are happening come through - like in the sequence when Theo was cutting the grass. It's so very enjoyable to watch!
when your house is done & the pandemic has calmed you guys should collab with Bryce from Living Big in a Tiny House!! I would absolutely adore seeing a tour of your land with Bryce!
I love that idea!! Would love to see the finished tour with Bryce!
Yes please. I'm sure Bryce would be totally into traveling from his house in New Zealand to Portugal...
I was thinking the same thing!!
Yessss!
Bryce is very cool. Would love to see his take on your house when it is done!
You two are so natural in front of the camera, you are a pleasure to watch! And so many wonderful things happening... thanks so much for sharing your adventure!
Woah Woah Woah
Was that the OG intro ???
I'm listening to this video while cleaning and all of a sudden I start dancing. I'll always love that . Glad that you threw it in.
And Gingy's face when she hissed at Fernando was priceless. Lil man best watch it before she whoops his tail. Lol
Sorry a glasgow curry is the best by a mile lol
The envy is real it looks so good, what a place to live, you lucky buggers, btw great camerawork on the chicks Bea
I have just realised that one of the reasons I love your videos is Bea's laughter. She's so sweet, you too are my favourite couple of RUclips
The music and visuals when Theo is heading to cut the grass 👌❤
I so agree. I think Miss Bea does the majority of the editing, at least whilst Theo is very busy with the building process. Dream Team they are!!
Thank you so much for your new twice a week updates. Love watching this process. You're both brilliant. You can do a garden once your home, washer/dryer room, and workshop is complete. It's lovely to have a food garden, but you want time to enjoy it. Am looking forward to seeing the lime walls and I can't wait to see the front door you get.
A garden takes regular attention, while growing, then preparing harvest for keeping. Tough to do when traveling 😪.
Just had a thought!
How about putting a thick Perspex panel in the mezzanine floor under the window? It would allow sunlight 🌞 down to your living room area below 😃
Hard work pays off ! What a wonderful life you have and to think you’re only 32 !
I can appreciate exactly how you guys feel. I live on the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus. I to have a variety of fruit trees ie fig, orange, lemon, messpila, mandora, Mandarin, apple, pomegranate, apricot, papaya, olive and a just planted raspberry. The fragrance from the citrus trees is amazing and I will never tire of it This year I started a veggie patch and I love being able to walk out into the garden and pick my very own produce. The one thing we don't have, especially in the summer are rivers and lakes. I do have the sea a couple of minutes down the road.
Moya that sounds great👍👍
Looks like you've got some good potential for marmalade in the future! Yum!
Yes, great idea! Start on line shop for it! I bags first jar! 😂😂
Good idea!
Yay we’ve moved and I’m lying in my bed chillin out trying to lose the sore muscles and stiff joints so I was delighted when your video popped up. Such a relaxing cruise around the land with some great photography. Love the lavender plant and the broom when you were sitting on the truck introducing the video. Oh happy days. 🐥🐥🐥
I forgot how much I love the old intro music.💜 You're both legends and I love your videos.
It is quite normal for free range chickens to roost in trees. Fernando doesn't need to worry.
Yes!
There are those that like heights and chickens who don't. Its quite normal. But very odd to see
Thank you so much for sharing all the work you have done, you two are such a pleasure to watch, I reallly appreciate you & your furry feathery family.
Your land is so beautiful and I cant believe how much the chicks have grown. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤🇬🇧
Good morning, Theo & Bea! Showing us the beautiful flowers and how green your land is that is awesome! 🌿🍃🐛🐞🐓🐇🍀🌳🌼🌾
Wow! Just can't believe how green the land gets, we definitely need to experience Portugal in spring. ✌❤✌
It’s our favourite time for sure!
I used to watch "the Good Life" and every time Theo hops on his tractor he beams just like Mr. GOOD!
Oh those chicks...and that rooster is one big handsome fella! Lovely cinematography as usual. 💗
I agree...even the lavender plants right at tire level when Theo drives on by.
Fernando should be totally chill in another 6 to 12 months. It took my twin cats, Hamish MacHavoc and Seamus MacMayhem, a good 12 to 18 months post neutering to settle down. In the meantime they had earned the names AssCat1 and AssCat2 . They still live up to those names from time to time, but overall are very sweet. When they do act up, my tortoise shell cat, SweetPea, puts them back in their places.
I love the music 🎶 with Theo on the tractor. The first music with no singing. Lol. It goes together so good 😊. The chicks are adorable
Nothing better than carving through the lush grasses with a "silent" 28" sythe, so therapeutic and you can hear the birds singing, the flies and bees buzzing and i believe this does no damage to your back....just gentle exercising .....i did all the 7 acres i had in Devon. Great video's, thank you.
Green acres is the place for me 🔣🎶🎵🎶🎵 farm living is life for me! I could see a sitcom in your future! 😂
That was the show that flashed in my head when Theo was on the tractor. The difference is Bea is nothing like the Lisa Douglas character.
Loved this format of answering common questions as you go.
The videos are getting more exciting every time! This was one of my favorite videos. I love to see you doing Spring in Portugal, and what that is like. The fruit trees and ducklings are amazing! The tuck pointing is amazing! Bea, you're always amazing! You two are truly enlightening and sweet to watch!
Sticky fingers from the ripest best oranges you've ever eaten on your land is nothing to complain about 😉 must be so nice to eat produce from your land 🤗🍊
Bee, “What do you miss most about Britain”? Theo, “The food”! Bee, “Of course after our family”! Nice Save!!! 🤣🤣 How are the fruit trees, and blueberries you planted doing? Yours is a land of plenty! Hugs, and much 💕 your way!!!
Never found any food in britain, I would be longing for. Sorry.....settings yes....shepheard’s pie in a pub for the setting, not the pie...
Better food than a lot of America... had better ham sandwiches in a tube station than I can buy locally and the Indian food. Our local Indian restaurant is good but there’s no variety. I loved the Chicken Katsu Curry from Wagamama, though I have the cookbook now. We’re just now getting more flavorful brick oven pizza restaurants. Ooh and fresh mince pies from Sainsbury.
It’s been over a decade since I visited London so it’s certainly changed.
All those flowers around you make me think you ought to get some beehives. It's the next logical step up from rearing chickens.
Watching the baby chicks made me cry. So sweet. We love you guys! Love and warmth from Los Angeles!
😁😆🤣 Theo being set back in that bush *lurking about* it just too funny.
Lake footage is right epic . . . y'all are brave {uhhh especially Theo w/h his voice hitting soprano level , haha}.
Hi, 100% agree with you, we love living here, but me and my daughter really miss uk food, crave fish and chips, pork pies uk food in general, can never re create it 🇬🇧 🥧
Fish and chips 😩
Hi, just a note about stone houses and insulation. Ours was built in 1848 and the first few years we were freezing. No matter that the walls were almost 3 ft thick. Finally we insulated the walls internally and the difference was tremendous. We need to repoint our exterior and we are picking up tips from Theo. They sell here (Ireland) lime render which has cork in it, which gives the render an insulation value. I thought that might be something that would interest you.Regards Alaine
Your videos are my favorite part of my Sunday mornings. The trip to the lake looked like the best part of your day
More good progress around your new home. The chick's are super cute and yes they grow quickly. You two were funny while in the lake but hope you managed a little swim. Have a good week xx
The struggle to get in the cold water is real 😂 not like the video’s were they get into the frozen water or mountain springs and it all looks like a fairytale. This is reality 🤣👍
I like what Bee is about having the majority of the walls line plastered and then the one wall just pointed that is gonna look really good with the oiled wood.
In one part of your land let the grass grow wild as it becomes like a meadow of wild flowers and attracts a lot of wildlife and it'll look pretty stunning too
The lake is beautiful.... It’s so clear!!!!
I’m with you with Birmingham curry. I lived on the Portuguese island Madeira for many years and myself and my partner used to crave a Balti. Loving the progress on the barn guys ❤️
Your house and land with the orange trees and other fruit trees is a little bit of paradise and I look forward to seeing your videos every week.Would love to hear any dishes you make with all the fruit you have growing there.xx
👌✨🌟🙌 *CONGRATUUULATIONS to the DREAM TEAM on 290 THOUSAND subscribers* !!
Loved this video with so many questions answered & hints/time projections for travelling in
the next year or less. Baby chickies are just too fab. Congrats on-i-all you two!!
It might save you a considerable amount of time pointing the rock work. They make a cone shaped canvas bag that looks like a cake decorators tool on steroids. You fill the bag with morter and squeeze it in your joints. Works great.
The two of you are the loveliest couple to watch ever. It fills my heart with joy to see a young couple working together and enjoying life. Greetings from Savannah, Georgia. Peace and blessings.
Agree, after family is always English food that you take for granted. Lived in Taiwan for twenty years now and when I discovered Twiglets in a local supermarket was like finding the golden ticket. Love watching your videos and great seeing the progress that you guys have made.
OMG! The truck started right up. :)
If you put a set of solid blades on the slasher for the areas that are clear of stumps you will be stunned at how amazing the mowed area will look.
I love spending time with you two and your family...always feel a little lighter afterwards:) Thank you for sharing your journey!
I absolutely agree with your strimmer comment! We have 1 acre in Orkney, just moved here in January, and borrowed a strimmer to get our side paddock under control. I have arthritis in my back, and a few hours strimming means I can't do ANYTHING for the following two days! It's taken about 3 weeks (including time off for bad weather and back healing time) and so far I've only cut about a quarter of the one paddock. There are two more!! Definitely need something better than a strimmer.
Re: garden. Consider planting a couple of cherry tomatoes.. It’s a very quick win. They are extremely hassle free & easy to grow (just water them) and the amount of the produce and the taste will amaze you.
Bee, you are absolutely glowing in this video. This countryside agrees with you. ♥️🇺🇲
In my city Viseu we have an indian restaurant and the howner came from england, and chinese restaurant too. But Portuguese food is amazing, you can go to any restaurant and eat everything you want, doesn't need to be a vegetarian restaurant. All the restaurant can serve you food. Have a nice week guys. 🤗
Our country is beautiful😍🤟
Oh my goodness!! Of course I watch you guys all the time. Also just started watching OK Portugal & he said he was going fishing with Theo!! It’s like we’re all one big family!!!
I’m so excited for you guys! You’re amazing! You are some of the most accomplished people I’ve ever seen and your wonderfully cheerful outlook on life is so refreshing! 💕
Bea's laugh is priceless, love it!
Curries are best when you use the spices as grains, then roast them in a pan with no oil until they start making noises. Then you can put them in a mill to grind them. This gives you truly aromatic curries.
I really enjoy seeing you both loving on the land that you care for. I really feel that it is something alot of us don't have an opportunity to do. 🥰😘❤
You have every reason to celebrate!!! It looks awesome and is a very fiddly job to scribe and cut all of those wonky walls of the old barn, plus the new curve for the mosaic tile entry.
Woo hoo 🥳🥳🥳 and well done 👍
5 acres is massive so wouldn't fancy doing the grass even on the tractor 🤣 Delighted to see the van in this video I've been here a while 💞 I'm just about to insulate my first van build been a dream for so long 😀 oh my days the baby chick's are adorable I fully get why you get mesmerised by them x
You have no idea how much I love Sunday mornings with you guys ( and kitties and chickens). I really enjoyed today’s, so diverse.
The lake was beautiful, so crystal clear. I am so happy the kitties are getting along better, makes for a much happier home. Can’t wait to see the floor when it is finished. Be safe❤️
Will you pick them all for juice, or to donate? (the oranges). BEAUTIFUL!
Man, you are becoming a "proper" Portuguese. Love your videos, I am from Portugal, the center of it, in fact Viseu. I was raised always in the fields, since I was a baby. It's so good to me to see the whole standard looks of the portuguese scenery, including the truck and the tractor (typical hahah). Even tho I no longer do the farm life, I really want to go back to it - since I'm about to turn 32yo. And I've learned a lot from you guys! Thank you, hopefully one day we can meet. Cheers!
loving the videos lately. lots of changes of scene and more aspects of your whole experience. plus fantastically clear and beautiful nature still. well done, and best of luck. love the chics and the lavender too. bless from Australia.
We had an orange orchard in our last property. As one orange tree went out of season the others came on, so my husband used to stand and eat multiple oranges too Theo. They were very mature trees and we miss them. ❤🐈⬛🐈🇦🇺
I cannot wait to see your completed project. I’ve enjoyed watching your progress.
This is such a great video, which I even woldn't expect to get to watch to on any tv broadcast or even in cinema. It's really great done.
"What do you miss the most about Britain?" The food from India... of course 😂 that says it all. Lovely video as usual. I enjoyed every bit but I will miss the barn *house!!! once you start travelling again.
That lake gave me summer in Norway vibes. I can't wait🤩
Will you be doing Hemp lime plaster on your walls for the extra insulation? It could make a huge difference in the winter
I loved how you answered questions throughout the video. Loved it! When you both start traveling again,once this Pandemic is under control. What will happen with your beautiful chickens?
Just take a few minutes and take some of that grass that you cut mix it with the manure from the chicken co-op and make yourself a compost pile. By the time you're ready for a garden you'll have some nice compost to put on it. I don't know if you can have Guinea fowls in Portugal but if you could get yourself a couple of those than they will eat all your ticks, and let you know when something isn't right.
What a wonderful video! So much diversity between mowing, eating oranges, the chicks first outing and then wrapped up with a cold dip in the lake.
Have you thought about replacing your composting toilet with a biogas toilet? It's not something you can have in your van, but having land changes the game. By adding the plastic separater you use in the composting toilet, you'll save money on plant food when you start your garden. Urine and compost tea for the garden, and biogas for heating the shower.
I just found your channel 3 days ago....loving all the projects you have going on to build your land into a home.....yes I did binge watch and am almost caught up......you are both learning so much and have mastered some awesome skills. Thanks for sharing. (a great grandma in California)
Not sure if the time amount of your videos are needed for monetary reasons with the way the channel works but I am sure most of us would watch shorter videos so it’s not so much work on you guys! ❤️❤️❤️ So fun to watch!
I dont agree. :D I Totally LOVE the extra epsiode that launch on wednesday.
It's so great to watch Bee and Teo, truely helping me and inspiring me to keep going in these hard times and to keep believing in my dreams!!!
I have to say your roosters are the most beautiful roosters I have ever seen!
Shes looking stunning as usual!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!! And u guys have to really stop calling it a barn.. its far from a barn now
When you do go on van road trips again, who will take care of the chickens?
Love having a cup in the a.m. with you two. My daily fix. Be well and safe. Caught your 3-4 month trek. Wow. What an adventure! 👍
Since there's so many Indian field workers in Alentejo, lots of Indian food shops and restaurants have opened. In Almograve you can get Nepalese food. Momos. Yum.
Those are nice orange trees!! I just remembered you planted new fruit trees, hope are they coming along? Thanks for sharing a bit about your lives! 😊
We have a square log cabin in Ireland that is the same size 4x6 meters or 260 sq ft. We send 2-3 months at a time visiting our grandson and we find it quite comfortable. But we do have nice south facing windows and glass doors. Not sure how we would be comfortable with the cave aspect of your build. I do love the stone structure but I would consider a mainly glass door for more natural light. Your mezzanine looks amazing all that wood. Vulux has a large skylight that when open makes a deck that I think would of been grand off the mezzanine. Love watching.
I'm enjoying your videos. One suggestion- clean the base of Cactus plants and all the other fruit bearing plants. That may yield better as compost and manoeuvre goes directly into plants. Moreover your farm would look great without haphazard grown weeds. Little area every week may achieve a great result on a long run!
I know you are aware of the health issues with lime. But, I have seen quite a few folks who 's health have suffered because they didn't take the care they should have to keep the dust out of their lungs. So I wish you all the best with the mixing and the plastering. It will look fabulous. Your style is delightful to see.
I know it’s been stated many times but I am so impressed by all of your skills. Both of you. I’m sure you have run into frustrating situations that at times might cast a shadow on everything but as Lionel Richie said “Easy like Sunday morning”. That’s how I feel about you.
My life if full but when I get the notification another video is ready to watch I stop everything, make a nice latte and vicariously live through you. Thank you for all the beauty that you put forth. Deborah
Yes for Aubergines/Eggplants. Would be the first thing I would plant.... for my Babaghanouj. For the smell under the orange tree, that would wake up the dead. You must visit the south of Spain, Cordoba in Andalucia in Spring time to experience the smells in a totally different scale. Beautiful region If you've never been there, not too far from where you are in Portugal.
I love Theo enthusiasm he is so in love with life all that he does Bless you.
Your pointing on the house is amazing, keep it up, bit by bit, that's the way to go.
Enjoyed our day together 😂😂... I’m actually snuggled under a blanket 🇬🇧 watching you take a cool dip😱😂 🙋🏻♀️💕🇬🇧jane
I bet that grass smelled really nice when he cut it!
I recommend anyone who has not seen Theo, Bea & Gingey Bear during their travels a must watch!! Beautiful videos....
you are sooooo brave no way would i get in that cold water lol
