This week we have a look at some of the things we have done over the years to turn this piece of overgrown abandoned land into our dream off-grid homestead. This is by no means everything we have done though, there is lots of repetition and just the general mundane of life. But we love it here, and love to share some of it with you.

New here? My name is Lea and I live with my partner Maarten, our toddler Puck and baby Bo on our land in Central Portugal. We left the rat race in the Netherlands in 2018 and moved south in our old campervan. Two years ago we bought land in Portugal that had been abandoned for several decades. After lots of hard work we now live in a beautiful yurt and keep ourselves busy growing our own vegetables as well as producing olive oil, wine and honey on a small scale. This channel documents all the different jobs we have to do, and sometimes some nice footage of this beautiful country we now call home.
