MY STORY
Rewind, July 2018, inspired by a friend, I had the ‘crazy’ idea that I would step out of life’s conditioning to enable me to live my life to its fullest. I made the bold decision to leave my job, buy a campervan, rent out my house and go travel the world.
After living in my van for three years, travelling to Scotland, Scandanavia and Europe and living in Portugal through Covid I decided to make a new life in Portugal. I am now renovating a one hundred year old stone house in Monsanto, Central Portugal.
I invite you to come along on this journey with me and I hope that I can inspire you to follow your dreams, whatever they may be. Hit the SUBSCRIBE button and join me.. It's easy and free.

You have been a breath of fresh air to watch as you are real, kind, and a gentle soul. You will come into a beautiful new life in the new year because of who you chose to be. Have a wonderful time over Christmas with family and friends. May you make many new friends when you get back and your new home takes place.

Awwww thank you 🙏 I wish you a very Happy Christmas 🤶🎄💝😘
Hello Suzi! The opening shot of the frosty mountain morning was truly breathtaking! And >> You've worked a Christmas - miracle - makeover in your adega, fairy lights and all! 😍🎄 Good thinking ahead on staining the door and windows. 👏January is notorious for rain in Portugal. I wish you safe and happy travels to the U.K., and a very merry Christmas with those you cherish. 🤗🎄💫🎄❣p.s. if your reputation is one of humility and kindness to everyone, you will be notorious in no time! 😃

A tip on storing clothes and papers, etc. in a plastic tote: buy some silica kitty litter (available in supermarkets in Portugal) and portion it into a strong paper bag or piece of cloth tied up. The silica absorbs humidity from the air and prevents issues with mould, musty smells, etc. It has bits that turn more and more blue to indicate humidity has been absorbed. Also, it can be "recharged" by warming in the oven at, say 350F for an hour or so. I left clothes in storage like that for 2 years in the Azores, which is super humid, and had no problems at all: everything smelled fresh when I opened the suitcase (which was woven, not solid plastic, and so not air-tight).

Where would we be without "stuff". - Good Luck with your trip to that "WaterWorld" we call UK & your Van sale. Home in Portugal is beginning to look 'yours'. Love & stay happy from NZ.

I had been thinking of getting a metal outdoor shed to store my things but I changed my mind. Everything is wrapped in plastic and blankets so I think all will be ok 😀

Thanks. It would cost me €10,000 euros to import my van into Portugal. Just not worth the expense. At some point in the future I hope to buy a basic Portuguese van. I do love van travel. Have a wonderful Christmas 🙏🎄💝🤶
Merry Christmas ⛄, happy travels to the UK really enjoyed going through your special memories of your van travels and your collectables travel box of mementos 🫶 🎁
