Community

Some people follow the journey. Some become part of it.

Community has grown around our videos, our home in Portugal and the people we meet on the road. It has always happened through conversation rather than a grand plan.

Community in Portugal

More than 330 guests have shared our little corner of Portugal.

People from at least 32 countries have stayed with us. There have been vans, tents, pets, visiting children, community meals and plenty of cake. The best statistic is how many people stayed in our lives after they left.
