OUR BIG PLANS FOR 2023 🌟 Q&A

[@mrgopherguy]

On the subject of travel books... the creator of the movie Jurassic Park (I'm not writing his name here because in the past whenever I included someone's name in comments section [not your comments section] it's been deleted) wrote a book named Travels. Oh my gosh, what an interesting read. It's also not a 'how-to' travel book, but about his travels. Might be of interest to folks when time allows. Love your videos, thx!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! Already intrigued 🤓

[@gabygaedecke2411]

"Having a home creates a canvas for us ..." [parphrased, sorry] ... that was perfectly phrased, Drew! Your lives are not about HAVING things or places or even each other, but LIVING with things, in places and for each other. Love it, such a positive attitutde.

[@susannortham11.11]

It seems like you guys have been vanlife vloggers long before most. So glad to hear you're making your Portugal dreams come true. It's going to be amazing!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We can’t wait!! 😘🙏💕

[@melindamarie6139]

I have no reason at all to blow smoke and I am relatively new to ur channel but I have to say this... Anytime I am sad, feeling uninspired, angry or dissatisfied with myself or life, depressed, anxious, worried about anything/everything, lonely, questioning my life decisions etc etc.... I know you guys will help me. I do not know anyone one else that I feel I can confidently say that no matter what I feel at the time if I turn on one of your videos it will snap me out of it and put me in my place. You remind me to ALWAYS b grateful and how important that is...and it truly is!! When I'm sad you make me smile and again remind me to b grateful and the sadness passes. If I'm angry u teach me forgiveness, what's important and that it's ok n it'll pass. When I'm depressed you remind u I'm not alone and it's ok and that self care is the most important thing and that it doesn't make me selfish. When I feel lonely u show me a million things to do to take care of that! If I feel uncertain you let me know how common n ok it is n that feelin the fear n going thru the hard things will make me stronger and make it all that much more worthwhile and that all I have to do is want it and I have the ability to have it. You teach me to take the harder road as opposed to doing what is familiar n easier because it builds character, teaches me lessons and shows me I'm a total badazz! 😉 Well I don't want to write a book here lol but I do want you to know how much ur videos mean to me, and I'm sure I'm not alone here!!! I don't have many friends, my family is small and I have lost a lot of trust and faith in people and it stems from a ton of trauma and pain and I'm working on that but having you guys which in my heart I consider family which is weird when u haven't met someone but it happens, and you mean a lot!!! I don't say any of this lightly, y'all really are amazing people and that's rare these days it seems which is sad. Anyway.... Thank You!! You encourage, inspire, teach me and even give me the kick in the butt I need at times. You are beautiful souls and I want you to know that. I am sure your jobs hard, grueling, prob wears u down at times so I wanted to thank u n let u know how appreciated you are. How loved you are. How much you help and so much more!!! So when ur havin a rough day remember....I could b saving someone's life and smile!! Much love, light, prayers and blessings... Melinda Marie 💕

You guys made my day! I’m Puerto Rican & I haven’t been able to visit my island in 9 years. I’m planing to go this Summer! I own a house in Rincon & I miss it! 💕💕

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

If I haven't said it already, congrats on the Portugal Windmill purchase and getting your longer term Visa forthcoming. It's certainly a lot that will be going on in your life but you'll be glad you took the plunge just like the cold water dips! You're both deserving and still young enough to conquer the dream! As always I'll be watching!

Hey Brittany and Drew! Just wanted to say thank you for all your blogs & vlogs. We are Ian & Ana from Cleveland,OH and we are about to ship our van to Europe in March 2023. After doing research we stumbled upon your blog and now your vlogs and they have been amazing in helping plan this big adventure in Europe. We may be visiting Portugal first and would love to treat you guys to some drinks. Such exciting news that you are building and setting up a life in Portugal WOOT WOOT! Excited to follow along

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

That's awesome! Glad that our content has been helpful. We love hearing you two are chasing your dream of shipping your van to Europe. We think Europe is the most amazing place to live and travel in a van with so much culture at your fingertips! We are looking forward to getting back to Portugal next month and would love to connect. Shoot us an email to [e-mail] and let us know your shipping plans. Ps. I, Drew, grew up in Toledo. 😊

[@pippilongstocking-qs7fm]

You two always bring adventure and a smile to my face 🥰. It's obvious you work your butts off, yet enjoy the fruits of your labor. How far from Bea and Theo will you be once living at the watermill ?

[@TexasHomesteaders]

It's easier to travel with a newborn than a 2 year old- signed Mother of 6 adult children. lol. I often had to travel by myself as a military spouse. I'd fly back and forth to other countries including Panama and drive from Sea/Tac to Texas twice a year. A newborn stays where you put them. A 2 year old will try to climb the Eiffel Tower. lol

[@melindamarie6139]

I'm so happy for u guys! It's so refreshing to see others making their dreams come true. Such an inspiration!! I completely understand the art studio!!! I struggle so much w that. It is very hard in a van I will say!! I make jewelry, journals, paint (that's the hardest esp when I do pours not just pictures etc), and draw, write... I love art but it is so hard in a small space. I don't think I'm ready to sit still yet lol but I dream of an art studio!! I'm soooo excited for you and cannot wait to see what u do!!! Much love guys ✌🏼🧡

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

The creativity will flourish for us with space that we have not had over the years. With that said, we wouldn’t change what we have done for anything. Keep on rolling and enjoy each adventure. Much love back ❤️✨

you're living it guys. kudos 🤗. 18:20 "... that maybe we didn't have." i hear that. both of you? a lifelong struggle for me in those five words. your adventures are such an antidote to the toxicity you develop from that. you are extraordinarily lucky to have found each other and avert further toxic consequences because of that core vulnerability as happened to me - but i continue to live in hope and cultivate calm acceptance (stop resisting). it's a journey right? here's to 'getting there'. 🤗🙏

[@judischarns4509]

You guys are so inspiring. I think you’re smart to get settled before babies and strangers come into your space. Privacy would definitely be a high priority. Settling into your new space and getting your plans together with the professionals before inviting help will be most effective. It’s a job in itself to manage people and projects. I would suggest to you to find Lodi and Margaret on You Tube, the make these great electric motorcycles that seem to be both on and off road capable. They’re in the Czechia. They, I’m sure would be an inspiration to you in your remodeling project. They were van lifers until Covid. They’ve been creating the most awesome van as clever as can be while building 2 tiny houses. They’ve already renovated garage and wood shop and other buildings to house their van build and their business. Good luck with your adventures and new endeavors. The clouds do look like a whale tale, pretty sunset.
