We share the emotional and logistical challenges of settling into a rural setting, from adapting to the quiet surroundings to embracing the joys of nature.
To support our work and for casual weekly updates, 100 extra videos, also don't forget that we have our monthly Zoom chat this Sunday: / stepsof2foreigners

Who are we?
We're Adam and Bernardo, a married couple coming from North America and Brazil. Our love story began in Brazil of 2016, and it was clear from the start that we both had an insatiable wanderlust and a deep respect for Mother Nature. Our KZbin channel serves as a platform to connect with a like-minded community and to share our adventures in travel, outdoor exploration and simple living. Our guiding principle in life is simple: 'Go out and make memories.' We invite you to be a part of our community, to seek inspiration from our journeys, and to create cherished memories of your own. Come along and be a part of our adventurous life journey. Welcome aboard!"

Well, this video was a completely joy to film and edit - wow! Who knew what was hiding in the backyard but it has definitely been a game changer for us. I feel like this place has given me a ton of creativity so I'm beyond grateful that I have this opportunity to put these videos together. Thank you for watching and for being here with us! Sending you a big hug. A

I am a 70 year old gay man. I have been with my husband 41 years, married for 7 years. it was not legal until 2015. I have been watching your videos for years. Loved it when you were in Brazil. Keep up making new memories and working on your marriage. Love you guys.

[@chasesome]

Wow ! Congrats on your 41 years 🥂💜

[@nickmiller5744]

[@stevenf7591]

Congratulations! My husband and I have been together for 40 years; married 10. We are both 68. We’ve been following the “boys” for most of their time on KZbin. They bring such joy into the world with their adventures, honesty, and willing to show a truly loving relationship; warts and all. We hope you enjoy many more wonderful years together. 🏳️‍🌈. 😘💕❤️. 👬

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Wow! Thank you so much for being here and for the path that you and your husband have carved our way. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for your generation. Congrats on the 41 years together - wow! I hope Bernardo and I will be together for 41 years but certainly not here on KZbin, haha. Thank you for your comment and for watching. We love you back.

[@christophermcnaughton8076]

Hey guys, wonderful video, you both are soooo cute with each other. Comments were made with your (both of you) connection with water. This truly and honestly makes sense, really for all of us. Our planet is over 90% water, our bodies are over 90% water and we were born from our mothers in water. Our connection to water is deep.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Hey Chris, thank you for your comment. You know, I never really thought of it like that - thank you!

[@Cincinnatian777]

Enjoy the tranquility. It should be a great environment for healing and happiness.

[@giannishen]

You're making it your home for sure! How lucky the owners are to have you renting their home and updating it and the yard! Best regards and as always thanks for sharing your lives with all of us.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Oh thank you. She's actually coming over to bring us some homemade banana bread as a housewarming gift. I believe she watches our videos so it will be kind of cool for her to see the progress of the home and to see what other projects we will do inside and out. We thank you so much for watching - we wouldn't be here if it weren't for the people like you who watch our videos.

[@rannyasdiyanti3443]

I'm not gay but I feel happy watching your video from start to finish.. I'm inspired to always enjoy life no matter what happens..

[@jeffsmith846]

What a beautiful relaxing view. I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Thank you. We got pretty lucky to be able to get this view.

Thank you so much. We're equally looking forward to our 1st Christmas in this home :)

[@mikekelly1151]

** Adam I hate to say it, but I agree with Bernardo on the NO for VAN life. Wow that path down to the river was very overground. You guys did a great job clearing it out. How cold was the river? Love all the flowers you added to the deck. The lights you added were a great touch for the porch. Had to laugh when Adam went to sit in the hammock, and it broke. Thanks for another great video it was well worth the wait. Love you both hugs and kisses. ❤❤ **

[@RBS_]

...ditto on the "No Van" thing...all that LAND, and Adam wants to get in a Van!?? ...Van's are for Nighttime FUN.....if, ya SINGLE! 😘 ..HA-HAAA!!

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Haha I think by now that I know that van life wouldn’t work for us. Like Bernardo said, a week - I don’t even think a week but maybe in Hawaii. The river wasn’t cold at all but I’m sure it’s going to start getting cooler when the temperatures start dropping ❤. Thanks for always supporting us Mike. Looking forward in seeing you on Saturday.

[@frostiesarah2315]

Your house is becoming your home and what a beautiful find behind the back garden proving this house is so meant to be a Adam & Bernardo home ❤ Thanks for sharing your love and day to day life with us. Much love sent to you both as always ❤❤❤

You are loved by many.

Haha no problem. Bernardo was laughing as well. ❤

[@michaelosborne6931]

I have just returned from Rose City Comic Con in Portland, Oregon travelling from UK, and the whole time I was thinking I would love to bump into you in the street. I can see why you loved living here.

[@Starrgazed]

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see you and Bernardo comfortable. Happy and settled. My husband and I moved out to the country and it was a world of magic in our land that we bought. Surprises and journeys every day that lead to something special new memories. I wish you both the best and love your videos and style. Now you guys need some happy puppies running around and some chickens maybe😂❤❤❤ your land is absolutely majestic!

Blessings.Adam and Bernardo.

I love that Adam believes you both can do anything you want. No doubts or concerns just got to it! I think the nose bleeding may come from the dry air causing the nasal membrane to dry out and crack leading to nosebleeds! I love that house!

[@liesbethrensen8212]

You both look happy and relaxed…love that. And love the house and the big garden. There must be a lot of beautiful sunsets ! Hope to see you in the chat next week on Patreon. Big hug🥰🥰🥰😘

Your videos really lift me me up. They are getting quite evolved, and beautiful in production value. Your filming and editing have really evolved.Thanks you!

You all look incredibly amazing, and I truly hope to find someone to share such a wonderful life with. This kind of life is what most people aspire to, and I'm so delighted that you've embraced it to the fullest. Wishing you all the very best and a lifetime of happiness ✌🏻

You guys are very fortunate to have each other and your beautiful new home in a beautiful setting! We love our home out in rural Appalachia! It's nice to be away from the hectic traffic and lifestyle of our society. We of course go into the city to get some things and for doctor's appointments, etc. It's nice to drive home into the countryside. Enjoy your new life!

Sometimes frequent nose bleeds are a result of hypertension, you may want to check blood pressure regularly...

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you! I didn’t think of that. I haven’t gotten the nose bleeds checked out because they stop when it gets cooler.

This is like a dream home I've always wanted. The tranquility, hearing the crashing waves, feeling the warmth of the sun and sea breeze caressing my face all at the same time, without actually leaving home to enjoy nature. And when night falls, watching the night sky open to show me the mysteries of the shimmering galaxy.

[@tstieber]

Hey guys, congrats on this new, relaxed life. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and I would never stop looking at it! Having a private beach is a rare gift. You could bring some folding chairs down there and watch the boats go by. Living in nature with private space makes such a difference for day to day happiness and mental health. If you get a dog, he or she will love being there with you and give you even more purpose. We did this nine years ago (not as rural as you), and we still love every day. (Our dog sadly passed last year). So we hope this is a place that makes you feel grounded as an anchor and as a happy place, and you can still travel for shorter amounts of time. Adventures don't just happen in foreign places, and putting down roots is a great feeling. Growing vegetables and flowers will be a whole new type of experience for you guys. BTW don't worry about the dang nosebleeds. I went through the same thing years ago and got all neurotic and went to the doctors, and they found nothing. It eventually went away, after years. If you're doing sinus rinses, they may be irritating the passages too. Also, your videos are so nice and calming before bed. My husband and I are pretty neurotic, and your energy really helps us. It's a bit like ASMR tbh. Take care guys.

[@loicgracalegoff4328]

Thank you for sharing your journey, simple moment of life, your love thru videos. It’s always a great pleasure to discover your videos. And yes I really love to see you into a van life because it could be an amazing experiment for you (and for us thanks to videos😂) around US (I made one during 6month and have such great souvenir). Anyway van life in a relationship is not easy and you need a bit of confort to keep driving and living in during a whole year.

Thank you. I forgot to mention bloody nose. Perhaps too dry, your nose, and it cracked, like really bad chapped lips. Ever try saline spray? Gets very dry here in winter, and I touch inside my nostril with a wee bit of coconut oil, just like I do on my lips. Good luck.@@Stepsof2Foreigners

As a believer in some things happen for a reason, the many disappointments you experienced in searching for your new home brought you to the environmentally friendly nature filled location and house you are now making into the happy lovely home you so deserve. I wish I had been introduced to your video's and vlogs sooner and am excited to get caught up on the years I sadly have missed out on; watching several of them everyday like I've been doing will do just that. My subscription to assure my support of the work you are doing and the true love you are sharing with us will happen this weekend. Thank you Adam and Bernardo. 😘

My nose used to bleed alot in the heat. I think when it gets too dry in there it tends to bleed more especially when its hot or if I blow my nose too much. On days like that, I put alittle polysporin in there and it works like a charm.
