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!

Theo, you are living proof that ‘the longest journey begins with the first step.’ Nature will rejuvenate the burnt forest around you and every step you take will bring you closer to the goal. Why did all this happen? At the moment you don’t know, but as you progress you will start to see that ‘everything happens for a reason’ and you will make it to the top of the mountain to enjoy the pleasure of the downhill slopes on the other side. Focus on the journey and not the destination and day by day you will start to see the silver linings. Huge respect Theo, you are a man among men and a shining example to a younger generation.

[@martaloewenstein2444]

Nick, your words, my words. 👏👏🌹

[@judyherman1249]

So true, words well spoken.

[@sherriemitchell3892]

very well said I couldn't have put it better Theo is an amazing worker

[@kwells8807]

Very nicely said. You are so on the mark!

[@lindaholmes9460]

Amen 🙏

[@kathleenlynch5763]

My goodness Theo how do you keep going . so incredibly hard working im exhausted watching you.well done you that can't have been easy .lots of love Bea thinking of you.♥️🐭🐹♥️

[@wendytalbot5857]

WOW Theo, you set yourself a herculean task moving the 3 water tanks. I was cheering you on as you pushed the first tank up the slope. You should be very proud of yourself. WELL DONE!

[@curtk8715]

take the blue one- cut it in half- use the bottom half as a livestock water drinking tank, then take the top and use it as a roof for a feeding station. or cut the top and bottom off and turn it on its side and stack soil and rocks over it- would make a nice cave for the goats, and then they could climb over the top of it on the rocks. Cut them into rings- then used as raised garden beds.

[@estherstephens1858]

Theo, you are an ABSOLUTE beast!!! May God bless you with drive, passion and strength!!!!! You do an amazing job.

[@lisamillerbuchert9447]

Tell Bea she’s missed. It’s the kindest people that get hurt the most. Stay strong Bea & Theo. Lov you guys

[@bernardaguiar]

Theo, I don’t know how you do all that you do all alone. You’re a great man!

[@KerryBlue72]

Nice job Theo! Stick with it Bee, we love and miss you!! 💜💗💛💚💙😘😉

[@jennifermclaren7633]

With each new video things are getting greener. I’m curious about the orchards. I’m hoping some of the trees have survived. Thanks, as usual, for bringing us along on your journey. You’re a legend.

[@angelamouland8012]

I was so pleased that you achieved your goals with the tanks. You are such a work horse, your work ethic is inspiring. Well done Theo!

[@sandratweedale2579]

Theo, buddy, you’re amazing! Hope your sweet girl is doing well and rejoins you as soon as she feels well enough! Such a strong, hardworking partner you are. So proud of you God bless dear boy ❤

[@specialistcarmarketing]

You still have a spectacular property even after the fire. I'm sure in the long run the destruction of the fire will make it even better than before. For instance getting rid of most of the eucalyptus trees. Keep strong you inspire me.

[@tracygaynor5066]

You deserve the best. Your so positive and such a hard worker xx

[@Luciana-Silva]

I haven't had time to watch the new property videos yet. But from what little I could see, the property is beautiful. Truly a piece of paradise. Even with all the damage suffered. You are blessed! I hope Bee recovers soon so she can enjoy this beautiful place next to you. I'm sure that together you will take care of the place and make it even more beautiful than it was.

[@LauraGumina]

Keep on keeping the dream alive. Your incredibly hard labor WILL pay off- you'll see. Sending love to both you, Bee and all your animals. You are amazing Theo!!

[@mommajo]

You should be very proud of the work you've done, Theo. You've made huge strides. Every video you share on in the new property makes me think of a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Sending both you and Bee loads of love from South Africa ❤️

[@cynthiahappel3697]

Theo, you are the man! You made getting that white tank up that hill look easy. Now the blue one was really difficult.

[@joythorp4688]

Theo, you are amazing, you work so hard non stop, wish you had more help sometimes though as we don't want you getting worn out. Hope Bea is doing well and will soon be out there with you miss her smiling face. Love to you both. ❤

[@carringtonherrington4025]

[@ginangan8892]

Theo, you have encouraged a lot of us to stay strong when we are faced with big challenges,thank you so much,God bless, stay safe

[@marycartella6258]

Theo, you work in clearing the path to the water tanks was amazing for one person to accomplish. You will see the fruits of your labor in due time. Take care and let Bea know that she is missed. May God and Mother Nature bless both of you. 👩‍🔬

[@dorstone7632]

It just amazes me what a hard worker you are, Theo. I’m sure Bea is somewhere in the background working hard too. Such a joy to watch.

[@olga9270]

Send Bee all our love and blessings.

[@junielaine4211]

You have a wonderful inside strength and you don’t cave in under adversity. You just keep going forward which is highly admirable!❤❤

[@andreminott4134]

YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION FOR RESILIENCY DETERMINATION!!! Over the years of watching you, I have been amazed of how you deal with adversities. I am a psychologist and architect and want you to know that qualities are very rare given the challenges experienced by you and B. I PRAY YOU WILL CONTINUE BUT TAKE TIME OUT TO RECHARGE YOUR MIND, SPIRIT AND MOST OF ALL, YOUR BODY. BLESS. Doc Andre

You’ll have that place back to normal in no time at all! It’s looking fantastic!

[@bareknee250]

I admire your determination Theo. You're such a hard worker as is Bea whom I hope to see again very soon. Love to you both.

[@lieuwina]

A job well done. Just go slowly slowly, little by little and it will come together. Some days you will be able to achieve what you want to do and some days it will not go to plan , but remember Theo you are human and not a machine, take the time to rest and I do hope Bea is feeling much better. Love to you both, and take care.

[@mandy5539]

What a great job Theo! I was holding my breath when you rolled the tanks up the hill, so glad when you reached the top😁Love to you both & all the fur babies💗💗💗

[@janetanderson8719]

You the MAN, Theo!! Hard work never hurt nobody! HA!! You handled that job like a pro!

[@terrilikens4975]

I come home after a hard day of physical labor and then watch you make me feel like a slacker. I have never witnessed anyone who works as hard as you!

[@SewFrancine6120]

[@nialone1084]

Respect to you Theo. Your tenacity to keep on going is admirable.

[@susanbarnett2590]

We were watching you work so hard to get those tanks emptied, loaded and removed. GREAT Job!!! Ralf and Susan Atlanta, GA USA

[@firstmate015]

Wow Theo, you are becoming more nimble, strong and fit. You won't be huffing and puffing much longer. Who needs a gym to exercise in? Your gym is right there. Bee has to be so proud of you. Give her my love, I thought of her all day yesterday for World Mental Health Day. I miss her heaps being on the scene and her infectious smile and laugh is so missed. My best to you both ❣

[@melindajohnson8586]

Theo, you are so smart! The farm is beautiful! Prayers for you and Bea.

Love the world strongman workout! Absolute beast mode.! The place really is a dream and its going to be such a beautiful home for you guys. You both have such a wonderful future to look fwd to. Big hugs to you both

[@themainer1267]

That was the exact same term I used when I yelled at my screen, "He's gone beast mode!" He's an amazingly hard worker who isn't afraid of any challenge.

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

Keep smiling Theo. You are doing a great job.

[@70foolio]

2nd comment. I don’t have Instagram or Facebook because it brings on extra anxiety and sometimes comments are stupid and mean. Being that you guys are content creators it must be hard but I am only writing this to someone like Bee who is a positive force in this world and you make a wonderful difference in my life alone but many others who tune in. I’m sending you love and strength because you have given me so much strength in these past years. Sometimes we don’t get to hear about the nice things we have done until after we are gone but we need to share with others in our lives the importance we have in each others lives. Sometimes I don’t see the great things until a stranger tells me. So I am that stranger to you and I am telling you that you were meant to be here to teach others of the love you have for nature, animals and yourself. You are meaningful and incredible just being YOU. 💕

[@coffeefortwosolly]

One step much closer to that beautiful house getting running water…well done Theo. 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

[@ibtemac]

Hello Theo, You are doing an excellent Job! Give our Best to Bea, and please let her know we all miss her so much. She is a welcome sight when we watch your shows! Cheers, from Dave and Tee in Missouri, U.S.A.

[@debracarmichael119]

Fantastic job! I can’t believe how much you get done! Love to you and Bee!

[@tonivalenzuela8274]

Theo you are such a rock star. No job to big because you are willing to tackle it all on your own. You deserve high praise for all you do. The two of you are so unafraid of the unknown and willingly to jump in and get it done. Kudos to you. Thanks for sharing.

[@rheediadowns6171]

Great work Theo . Give your sweet lady a hello from me . Praying she is feeling much better . You are doing a great job on the videos . Love seeing them , and love you both ! ❤😊

[@belindalombard4901]

Well done Theo. I am amazed by all you hard work. Working all by yourself and keeping the boat afloat without Bee cannot be easy. I have so much respect for you.

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Theo, A great strategy to clear the land of debris and connecting and storing the water to your home and other sources. Theo, tap into some local help . Don't go it alone and save yourself for planning and managing the projects that warrant priority. Theo, your unwavering focus to fixing a problem is truly special and rare in this day and age. Harriet and I are along this journey with you. Sending much love to you and Bee. ❤❤ Bee , Feel better . We miss you. 🙏🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.

No words can describe how inspired encouraged proud and humbled I feel watching you reclaim your dream...with deep compassion I send love to both you and Bea and continue to support you. I trust you will both shine bright and help is on its way for you both...love to you and Bea

[@maryellencook9528]

You have made fantastic progress in such a short time, Theo. I think that you are right about taking the wood chipper up to the trimmed branches. Use the mulch that you make to line your track.

[@sandramcelrea1842]

Theo, your joy at each successfully completed task, is contagious! Man how you are thriving through all this hard slog. You're positively shining And not just with sweat! Stay safe Theo. You're doing such a superb job.

[@TheCleo1958]

Your doing an awesome job Theo,you should be very proud x

[@davidcarroll4411]

Your videos are very educational. I’m always having to Google to go from liters to gallons and Celsius to Fahrenheit. LOL. 😂

[@julie2756]

Well done Theo that’s a good job done you’re such a grafter. Fingers crossed the underground pipes are in good condition. Sending you and Bee some strength and positivity ❤

[@texasthistle]

You are such a good worker! You and Bea are winners.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Well done Theo, what an achievement, your such a workhorse, no job fazes you. Sending you and Bea love ❤

[@GrammaJamma71]

Looking good Theo! Little by little you’ll get it. Take care of yourself, stay hydrated…sending a big hug to you and sweet Bee…I know we all miss seeing her sweet face. Love you Bee! ❤️

[@wandacox9540]

It is so lovely to see the turn around occurring with the property. It is still a showplace and your happiness shows!

[@dwaynemontanye5274]

Now that you have a larger property with more trees and landscaping, you may want to invest in a couple extra chainsaw batteries so you can continue working when one battery gets used up. Just a suggestion. Great job on getting everything cleared up. Looking forward to seeing the day to day progress on the land.

[@anitamoolman168]

Well done You, hope all is beter with Bee and that she’d be joining you soon. God bless

[@lucy2beme]

I can't wait to see the lake full of water. The progress you've made is fantastic.

[@maliaquiocho4167]

Bea, you know it already, but you are so loved! Everything Theo is doing is with pure love and motivation from and for you.

[@chrissisturges5623]

Theo you are so determined and so enthusiastic. SO impressive and inspiring!

Theo you are one dynamic young man. I am in awe of the work you do and you and Bee make an amazing couple. Sending you both best wishes and love, Anita

[@magdavandermerwe1349]

Well done Theo. You can be very proud of yourself. A year from now and you will be able to forget about the fire. Give my love and best wishes to Bea. Hoping we will see her soon on you side❤️❤️

Wow you seriously put in some hustle those days Theo great job!!! Miss you Bee peace and prayers to you darlin ❣️

[@carmelleabron4058]

Theo, you are like the energizer bunny you keep going n going n going. So intrigued by your work ethic and motivation to keep moving. Your property is beautiful and the burned land will come back better than before. Think of this period as a time for the forest to cleanse itself and start anew. I wish you both much success, and I'm sending lots of love, 💞good vibes, hugs, and kisses to Bea. Hang in there Bea we're all routing for you. Take care,

[@601salsa]

You are awesome theo. Well wishes to you, bea and your families. Can I also say..... everyone shows you how to prepare but no one documents how to clean up and repair or rebuild after a disaster. What you are doing whilst it may be emotional can help so many people who might be in your position in future..... reusing the tanks for livestock rain water harvesting is an awesome idea !!!

[@desertangelfish140]

That cute chainsaw looks like a fancy turkey and ham cutter for the holidays! 🤣😂🤣👍🤭

[@maureen8930]

Hello Theo, man you are a one man construction crew God bless you I hope you’re drinking a lot of water, please let Bee know we’re all worrying about her , and hoping only the best for her and praying we see her soon ❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@widowswatch6610]

This will be a beautiful home when all completed. Outside and inside... It’s already fantastic and Much more than lots of people have. Great work

[@geraldinecolman4451]

We love watching you guys! So glad that you are now starting to get somewhere with the new place I know it's more work than you were counting on but in the long run with you reinstalling most things at least you will have full knowledge f how everything works and where it is! I hope you and Bee are doing okay and I am wishing Bee well and you both deserve the best life can offer. Sending you much love & hugs Geraldine & Steve Colman xxxxxxxx

[@jeanniebettesworth8361]

Theo, as others have noted, what you did was very hard work. I was amazed that you stayed until your task was completed. Most others would have said”screw it”, I’ll hire someone else to do the hard work. What an excellent example to show others! Look forward to your next video.

[@Tessienz]

I know you’re a big strong man Theo but my goodness, that was a superhuman task getting those three tanks up the hill. I was holding my breath as you did it. Maybe a chain and pulley would have made the job easier for you, not to mention safer. But you did it anyway. Hope Bea is enjoying watching her man’s hard work as you watch this video with her later. She’ll be looking forward to getting out there beside you again. And we’ll be happy to see her there too, and her gorgeous smiles. ❤❤❤

[@rrhopewell]

Omg how you do that is beyond me.

[@MrNomad1962]
