About
We are Brittany and Drew, husband and wife, who have been traveling the world by van for 8 years and counting! It all started with an idea to teach English in Asia, when we were offered an unused camper to explore our own country 1st! After that 1st year (2015), we got married, flew to England and bought our very own rolling home for a 2.5 year van life honeymoon across Europe and N. Africa. Then, in 2018 we returned to the USA and self converted Spirit, our beloved and handcrafted Sprinter Van. For over 3 years, we searched hi and low for just the right project, international lifestyle and unique property to call home. We made the biggest purchase of our lives and have now shifted all the of the energy we poured into our travels into transforming the home of our dreams. πͺ
Global vanlifers now currently parked full time on raw land and renovating a historic watermill ruin (called the Magic Mill) into our #dreamhome in Southern Portugal π΅πΉπ«!
