Description
We're a family of four from Germany. Over the past years, we've traveled all across Europe and Africa in our beloved 52-year-old restored Mercedes truck, even crossing the Sahara Desert twice!
A year and a half ago, we traded our home on wheels for a different but equally exciting project: a beautiful 2-hectare property in rural Portugal. Here we're living our dream of sustainable, 100% off-grid life – with fresh spring water directly from our land and solar energy that keeps us completely independent.
The best part? We're part of a vibrant community of Portuguese locals and international families who all share the same vision of authentic, natural living.
Who we are: A wild mixture! 😊
* David loves to build and restore everything from scratch – whether it's lithium batteries or houses, he's your guy! He also has a deep passion for trees. After learning to climb as an activist in Tasmania, he now works as an arborist.
* Miriam works part-time as a consultant, helping digital start-ups scale their businesses. Her passions include cooking (she's constantly collecting and experimenting with recipes from around the world – ideally using vegetables and fruits from our own garden.) and romance books (ha, ha, guilty pleasure: she not only devours them but also writes them, having already published several books on Amazon).
* Our two wonderfully wild boys (ages 7 and 5): do what kids do best: playing, playing, playing, and having endless fun! (Plus some kindergarten and elementary school when necessary 😉)
Our daily life here includes:
* Creating our home step by step
* Growing our own vegetables and fruits in our garden
* Taking care of and developing our forest
* Working remotely
* But most importantly: enjoying dips in one of the two rivers that border our land, or driving to the closest beach for surfing and kitesurfing
If you're excited about authentic, nature-connected living and want to become part of our journey, we'd love to meet you!
