A LIFE CHANGING JOURNEY TO PORTUGAL!
Спорт
EPISODE #123
Here we go... after a long time of wanted to pack up our lives and start a new adventure, it's finally happening... we have chosen the beautiful country of Portugal and we cannot wait to start our new life there.,
Unfortunately we didn't get off to the best start, not only being involved in a car accident on the way down, but then our belongings turned up damaged by the delivery company. We just can't seem to catch a break.
But we won't let that get in our way of making our dreams come true, we get ourselves out exploring our new home and feeling very grateful to be here enjoying the gift that life is.

Dude so glad you are all ok. Scary stuff. Also insurance covers your contents although painful. Portugal rocks and I know you'll have the best time (late to the vlogs as been in US and have seen but not watched the latest about your bike). Onwards and upwards and best wishes to you and family for good health and awesome adventures. Loved hearing the 'good vibrations' track on your car radio but not sure about your brown coloured fruit loop cereal hehe. Take care dude man.
Welcome to Portugal!!! If you need anything, feel free to contact 👌🏽 Good luck for the future here and sorry about the bad weather that we are having at the moment 😅
After a bad start, I hope you and your wife will have many years of happiness in front of you.
Glad you are all ok thomas it looked bad but make the most of your future together
Geez so glad you guys are ok mate, don’t sweat the cycling, plenty of time for that!
TCT, good to see you, Rach and the pets made it through that ordeal. When I saw last weeks vid and your motor in a state I was thankful that you all aware relatively healed from that traumatic event. Sending you all positive vibes mi bredren, make sure you sit by the ocean everyday and meditate for a few, the positive ions from the ocean will help to heal you.
Wellcome to Portugal. Sorry about that acident. If you would like company for cycling, just say. i live near. All the best, enjoy your new country.
Daisy looks so happy to be there ❤

She really is… every day is an adventure for her! 🥰
All good things come through challenges and what a challenge that was to make it out! Top priority is that you are all well and what a beautiful part of the world. Can’t wait to see the next chapter in your adventure!
Well, at least that's the worst out of the way. Congrats on making it happen! 😊
Eventful first week to say the least. It could quite easily be an episode of Corrie there's that much drama. Well I'm glad you had some luck at least and good to see you are all safe. Looks amazing in your new area and looking forward to seeing future content.

Hahaha yeah it definitely felt like a lot of drama for one week. Our second week has been more chilled thankfully!
Good to see and hear you both are recovering well. It's so unfortunate for everything you've both experienced on the trip. Please take care of your family first, KZread viewers can always wait. We're here for the entertainment, no matter if it's cycling or not.
Welcome to Portugal mate. Dont forget to do a visitar to serra de Montejunto and eat some nice TOSTAS at the bar. For a good craft beer go to Andrómeda beer Lourinhã. James is a good host. Enjoy
Welcome to Portugal! I live also in the Mafra municipality as you do but a little more inland (a small village called Póvoa da Galega). We have great roads in the area, with less traffic than the roads around Ericeira. Best of luck for you guys!
Thank God that you're all okay, after that horrible wreck. Wishing you & your family the very best with the new move. Looking forward to the next video 💯🤝👍☕

Keep your head up brother, things will get better. I'm glad your family is fine. I watch every Sunday morning and I can't wait to see what you discover in Portugal.
Be interested to know how the crash happened but I guess you don't want to talk about it or can't do so for legal reasons. Anyway, glad you're all OK. Looking forward to seeing your next cycle run in the Portuguese sun! 🙂

I will never forget this episode 123. Daisy is loving the new journey in portugal! Literal ups and down man. Happy for you sir thomas. Cheers! 🎉❤Maybe you can post a tutorial / insights for newbies in tattooing. Keep the videos coming!
If you are ever in Porto, hit me up! Glad to show you around the pretty Douro Valley. Best of luck with your new life in Portugal.
We moved to Mallorca from London 20 years ago, and there are always bumps in the road and problems to overcome. They feel like mountains when they are happening, but you'll get over them all, and when you look back it all becomes part of the adventure. You can't make an omlette without breaking eggs.
Welcome to our country, enjoy your new life!
Absolutely devastating 1st week to a new life. It will only get better. Hooe you get all your insurance claims sorted easily n quickly
Glad to see you all ok. That balcony looks a nice place to Zwift 😍
Looks like some decent surf!
Glad you're both OK after your ordeal. Nice to see Rach back on her feet and looking happy by the end of the video. ❤
Congrats mate on your new venture! All the best to you and the Familia!! Living the dream!!
Congrats on getting out of the UK mate
You are OK - rach is OK - daisy is OK … man I hope the bike is OK ;)
Since Daisy and the humans are in one piece I can say it.... that poor beautiful Land Cruiser. Enjoy the move man, did the same with our dog, new place new energy
All the best in your new ventures man, only one way from here and that’s up 👊🏽👊🏽
You seem to have a pretty good attitude no matter the situation bruv. Love the content always a good laugh along the lines. Fairly new to cycling, started as the injurys from running were not healing well. Love the channel and started watching most of your content big❤ bruv all the way from New zealand. Inspiration to the everyday cyclist wanting to get better🤙
glad you're both ok, material is nothing. Welcome to Morocco
Also thinking of moving to Portugal. I'm VERY keen on hearing more about your adventures there. I fell in love with Girona last month when I visited for the first time and would love to make it my home but me and my partner's way into Europe will be through Portugal since it's the easiest for us.
Echo-ing all the comments on don't worry about the lack of cycling. This is super cool to see - thanks for letting us in on this other side of your life. Big change, awesome to follow along!
Get well soon Rachael 🖤
So glad you guys are ok after that horrible accident and I hope insurance will cover for a new car 🙏 Your new home looks absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to see more! A big cheers from Southern California 🙏

Welcome to Portugal!
Welcome to Portugal! Enjoy
Massive congratulations on the move. Really sorry about the accident and the wet boxes…. thank God you all good. Keep looking for that silver lining, as every cloud has one and I’m sure this is only a small one. 😎😁👍🏻 We’ve discussed moving to the EU and we also would be taking our dog too. Any chance of video on what to look out for or things you’d recommend doing to make the move go smoothly…. obviously not Algarve removals!! 😳😁 Just a simple info vid about the process would be great. Blessings 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing this, a beautiful place to live
Glad you're back mate! Good luck on the new adventures!
Glad you’re all safe!
Glad you guys ok ! Looks lovely man as for the cycling its going to be worth the wait! Great watch as ever m8
Wishing you all the best on your new adventure! 👍👍👍👍
Congrats mate, good to see someone taking a leap and being happy ❤
Glad you are okay and looking at the positives. Hope you get to feeling better shortly.
Great stuff , looks a beautiful place 👌
Glad you guys and pets are ok👌
Glad you're both safe bro, all that matters at the end of the day! Got mad envy for the Portugal move.
Good luck over there in Lovely Portugal.🤘
Welcome to our beautiful country
Glad you are ok, looked nasty. What a beautiful part of the world you have moved to, I do not blame you for leaving Blighty. How is all the electrical stuff is it nackard or is some of it still ok ? I think Daisy is in heaven though looks like an ideal place for a dog 😂 Might need a few washes though
Big respect for these decision, and good luck 🙌🏼
I bikepacked down the coast of Portugal a few years ago, in Ericeira I decided to take a break and take my very first (and so far only) surfing lessons. So cool you are living there now, great place. 👍
The most important thing is that everyone is safe, things can be replaced. I wouldn't say I'm religious but i do think having something or someone to believe in is important and gives us the belief and strength to help us through the trials we face. Enjoy settling in and good luck with your new life.
TAke care! Bless you all!
Nice relaxing video
Hope you are both ok, wish you all the best 😊
So glad yo guys are safe! Portugal looks amazing, it was already on my list of places to live and now it's even higher! congrats!
i hope you are well
So glad you are all ok 🙏🏼. Local area looks amazing..enjoy
Glad you're all safe dude, calm days warranted after that hectic crash.
So glad you and the fam are safe.
Man so glad you guys are OK dude.. enjoy your new adventures looks amazing well done to have had the courage to take this step I admire you mate 👍👍😃🥇🚴🏻Pete
Glad you guys are getting better, see you on the Zwift rides next week
stay strong and good luck
Welcome to Portugal :) hope you are happy here!
Holy smokes bud....I hope you all feel better soon , and things work out !
My favourite episode.
Mate, no apologies needed, you Rach and the pets are okay, thats all that matters, life is fragile and we must take everyday as it comes...you never know what life will throw at you, but the most important thing is you are all still here 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 now it's onwards and upwards to your new lives.....I'm sending you all love form Liverpool,England 🏴 keep those smiles on your faces and enjoy this new exciting chapter of your lives ❤
Wish you all the best of luck, driving tired is just as bad as drink driving if you need to sleep stop and stay at a hotel…
Looks like a testing start to your new life but glad its all worked out for you both. Portugal is a beautiful country
I’m pretty sure that just about all of your viewers are great people who are doing well that enjoy watching you achieve great things. Yes I did come across you through cycling but by now most of us are supporting you as unknown friends and backers of a great couple doing great things.
So pleased your all ok now , enjoy your new life journey
You had to jump through some hoops for the new start that's for sure! Everybody you love and cherish is safe and well and now you can start the next chapter in your lives. I wish you and Rach nothing but health, wealth, and happiness for the future ❤
All the best to you on this journey! You chose a windy region to live in, but certainly one of the most beautiful in Portugal! Feel free to join on a pedal to Serra da Arrábida. Cheers!
Loved this mate! Good luck with everything!
Great episode 💪🏼 happy you're all settling in

Glad you're all okay, life deals some crappy cards sometimes but things always get better! Stay safe :)
I’m really glad you guys are well. And keep your head up, you just arrived in Portugal and have the opportunity to chaise what you really love. Material things have to value compared to your health and memories you’re gonna make while staying in Portugal ❤ With love from cold 🇳🇴
Bless you brother !! 😢 you seem to be made of tough stuff .. made a decision to start my sober journey in January too .. your an inspirational dude 🤙❤️
Welcome to Portugal. There’s a lot of cycling in the west of Portugal. Great roads and climbs to explore around you. I live in Assafora, which is just across the river from Ericeira. Let me know if you need anything.
Welcome to Portugal! Hope to see you on the road one of this days. Definitely you will enjoy to explore our country. Wishing the best recovery for you guys… Regards
Hope the both of you get well soon. One hour at a time mate, you can do this. And your sober. X
