It’s been almost four months since this beautiful, happy day and we + our #rollinghome have lived in five countries, traversed the sea 3 times and driven over 5,300 miles… and…

“Oooo IIIIIIIII, I wanna be with you everywhere” Our new favorite song (love Fleetwood Mac) to play on repeat as we drive from Portugal through Spain to meet up with @chrishoermann + @martina_patricia in France! The journey back up to England in time for the end of our 90-day Schengen Visa, begins! But for now, we still have time so we plan on enjoying every last mile (or @travelmanyroads, should we say kilometers ☺️). We spend a lot of time together Babes, but somehow the lyrics to this song are still so true. #crossingborders

As hard as we can pray for the problem of plastic that plagues our earth to be cured, we need to take action, each and every one of us. All too often along our travels, we’ve arrived to a #trashedparadise and we can no longer sit back and do nothing. You can see the little bundle of plastic I’m holding in this photo here, but swipe right to see what may become of our world if we continue consuming and throwing “away” our trash without care... as @plasticfreemermaid said so well, “...away is here, it has overflowed, piled up and is creeping back to haunt us.” ♻️ ••• We’ve been loving all the posts from @zero.waste.collective since our decision to join other vanlifers across the globe for #plasticfreejuly. In our efforts to start REFUSING plastic, we’ve been using cloth bags (given to us at the markets in Morocco) when restocking our weekly produce supply and the plastic sandwich bags that we do have, we save for convenience emergencies + rinse/reuse whenever possible. What are some other ways we can all swap the plastic in our lives for sustainable alternatives? #doyourpart

People often ask us what we do with “all our time” and after discussing this with our other van friends, we’ve come to the conclusion that truly, our time is spent LIVING. Both simply and fully, learning and changing in new ways every single day. Immersed in our moments, with no routine or walls to hide behind, we are invited (sometimes forced) to feel and to BE. We’re excited for all that lies ahead, I think mostly because we trust that this journey has been preparing us for something... something beautiful, and after 3 weeks in the Algarve (+ over 2 years in Europe) we can only imagine what’s next. #beyondwhattheeyescansee

Sweet gifts from our neighbors/friends @weareanae & @travelmanyroads #downbythesea

Recently we’ve begun to wonder if we’ll actually be able to part with The Howeller come August... he’s just been such a good, sweet van and there are so many places in Europe we still want to take him + loads of favorites that we want to go back to! Guess Europe has kind of really grown on us... #homeiswhereyourvanis

Our last night in Portugal spent high above in the country’s only National Park, and we had this magical place all to ourselves ✨ #PedraBela

A couple weeks back, we actually had the extreme pleasure of spending 2 days with @woodyharrelson on the beach in Tarifa (yes, it was seriously awesome), and last night we watched one of the most impressive movies we’ve seen in a long time. No, it wasn’t White Men Can’t Jump, though we did watch that for the 1st time last weekend and couldn’t stop laughing! #LostinLondon was filmed using 1 camera, 14 locations, 150 mics and 1 TAKE! Absolutely unheard of. Woody you are nuts and we can’t get enough of you. A crazy true story followed by a pretty profound ending We were super stoked we could stream it to the van and as always, soo grateful to our oven for making pizza and a movie night possible Click on the link in Woody’s bio to watch! #moviesthatmatter

Times like these ✨ ••• Recently we’ve taken a step back from taking photos + weekly YouTube videos in exchange for remembering what it was like to travel and explore before instagram. While we love sharing the adventure and learning with you, it’s important for us to just be, just us, together, wherever and with whoever the moment takes us. It’s been an extremely enjoyable experience, one with less posing and more living. Encouraging you all to take a break from social media every once in a while, it’s good for the soul #disconnecttoreconnect

This morning we left Tarifa, which was really hard to do because the wind was still blowing and I’m pretty sure I caught Drew drooling as he watched the kitesurfers gearing up for their first rides of the day, but we’re more than halfway through our Schengen Visa days and that means it’s time to roll! With tickets for the ferry back to England come July (when our Schengen days end), our route will weave us North along the western coast of Europe, and because we truly loved Portugal so much, we’ve decided to make our way along the Algarve one more time, revisiting our favorite spots (and friends) and exploring any we may have missed our first time around. Cliff-top picnic spots (like this one on top of the #MarinhaBeach arches) here we come ✨

Sometimes life just blesses you. Today has been a day of unimaginable happenings, the kind of day that really just gets up in there and tries to possibly shift things in all the right ways✨ Some days are just like that. #surrendertothemoment
