I love the realness and a sense of groundedness you transmit. I feel inspired. Thank you for sharing your journey and my sincere condolences for your loss. RIP Willy ❤
Thank you so much! We wanted to show the journey from our personal perspective like a home movie that we we are able to share, Im glad that it resonated. I think I cried about 3 times making it, especially when I saw Willy 😢 She was such a special girl. Thank you again ! 🌹
beautiful video, loved it... I'm a Belgian living in Sydney for the last 12 years. I have been blessed to be with a fantastic Italian girl for the last 10 years. She's from Barletta, Puglia. I was in Puglia last July. Just wonderful. One day I would love to move there too and live a simple live in the Italian South.
I really love your history . It amaze and teach me your prefer discomfort and hard work instead of money. But in the process it brings more satisfaction and enjoyment! What a lesson 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼‼️
You were so brave, innovative, remote, yet "très à la mode"^, determined to go on, relentlessly urged to live, whenever, however, wherever, bravo. It is very inspiring. Beauty Full. Your taste, bee and wine adventure, pottery journey. Grazie,Obrigado for all that. Corona para ponerlos sur les routes de non retour. No fear. Only love.
Thank you for sharing your backstory. You are both Very interesting and creative people. Most of all, you are both fearless and self sufficient, eager to learn and up for challenges that would overwhelm most others. I noticed your dedication of the post and got the impression that your beloved dog Willy passed. I’m truly sorry for your loss. Please don’t get discouraged as you are inspirational. Thank you. Joe.
Your video was heartwarming, & beautiful. Willy was 1 of the most courages & beautiful female dogs i have ever encountered. Her spirit lives in you both. Love from Aus ❤

Sorry to see that your beloved Willy has cross the rainbow bridge. If you’re ever make a trip to Madeira Island, Portugal we would love to see you and show you our piece of paradise.
Absolutely loved this video! Thank you for sharing your truly awesome and inspirational life story! Living your best life from Paris to Portugal to Puglia! I'm looking forward to seeing where next the road in your amazing journey will take you. My sincere condolences on Willy's passing.
What a fantastic journey… such a peaceful, beautiful place to be in with enjoying the ‘real’ things in life. Good food, good wine, good company, and of course the furry family.. wishing you much love xx
What a remarkable and rewarding journey you have had. Amidst the challenges, you persevered. So inspiring! Wish you both a wealth of happiness and peace❤. New subscriber xx
Can’t believe you guys don’t have 100 thousand subscribers. All you have done by yourselves is nothing short of amazing. You guys are amazing but then you should know that by now. Nothing is beyond you!
Ohhh, what a wonderful journey 🥰🥰!!. You are an extraordinary couple, I’m in love with your simplicity lifestyle and the creativity in do marvelous things. The property at Portugal was beautiful but the finish Villa in Puglia is stunning!! Certainly hard work has rewards 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sorry about Willy🥹, I have 4 beautiful dogs(a Chihuahua, Named Apple, a Pitbull-Grecia, a Catahoula-Luna and a mix Labrador-Vainilla). There a part of our family❤
I have just started watching your videos and the work you have done is amazing. The transformations are beautiful and you have a wonderful sensibility. I am sorry for the loss of your beloved Willy….now in doggie 🐶 heaven. I too lost mine this year….and need to adopt my next member… sending healing ❤️🩹 love energy to you and your fur family!!
wow, what an impressive perspective. I absolutely loved your video. How lucky you both were for having met and how smart you both are to enjoy so much beauty and work. You humbled me today and put a seed in my mind. Thank you 😘
Your story and mode of telling it has truly captured me. Love the "wild wild west" music portion.......guitar twang and all! Hope all is well in Sweden? It's been two weeks..... God bless.
I hope you find yourselves some glorious land again….with an old wreck or 2 on it. Stuck way down here in NZ, I love your curiosity and your creative journey together. You’re both so ‘can do’ and practical. We describe this here as ‘Kiwi ingenuity’. Your ceramics look wonderful. 👍
How amazing that this video was recommended to me on my page! I'm interested in living abroad some day, so I was checking out videos about that topic when I recognized Martin in the pictures of this video. As i child, I grew up on the same street as him, and we went to the same school growing up. It is truly great to see someone from your past following their big dreams, it is inspiring :) Good luck to the both of you with your future adventures!
Hi Johanna, thank you so much for your kind message. It’s such a small world sometimes. Happy you enjoyed the video. I will pass on your message to Martin. I’m sure he will be happy to hear it 😊 Kindest Ebonie
Very beautiful story, so sad you had to sell your property in Portugal … we also have a small family with our dogs and cats and have bought a country home with land in Sicily… thank you for inspiring and motivating
It was such a special place but we’ve really realized special places exist all over and I’m sure we will experience even more in our life time. We feel lucky to have experienced it and helped to breathe new life into the abandoned place. Best of luck with your project in Sicily.
What a beautiful and inspiring journey you’ve made of your lives🙏 a powerful testimony to what can be done with Love and hard work!! So sorry for the loss of your sweet pup, you gave her a good life❤
Wow! I knew in my gut, besides the obvious, you are both multi-talented people. All of your videos have such an artistic flare. Please keep blogging whatever you decide to do! My hubby does business with an Italian co. That makes a specialty wall coating for interiors of historic buildings and so we keep wanting to move to Italy, especially after watching your vlogs. Everything is so uncertain everywhere so I understand why you are mulling plans over. The hardest part is to know when to stay put. Looking forward to more of your adventures. Thank you both!
Truly an inspirational video. Thank you for sharing your journey of togetherness, adventure, challenges and hard, dedicated work to overcome the odds. Sympathies to you both on Willy's departure. You are making a very special life together. Well done! I wish you well 💚💪
très beau parcours de vie, une meilleur compréhension de qui vous êtes...j'aime votre Arte et le vous avez fait de la maison...moi un portugais a Paris, j'aimerais avoir un lieu de vie comme ça pour ma retraite...me inspire beaucoup ... bonne chance vous
Ebonie and Martin, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey with us. I felt so much love, gratitude and peace while getting to know your story and I'm so inspired to live a life more similar to your lifestyle. As for Willy, I'm sure she lived a very happy life with you guys, and I am deeply sorry for your loss. Sending you all, including the pups, lots of love and wishing you all the best in what's to come in your journey! ❤
Honestly it was out of budget and still to this day it still is for what we want. France will always hold a special place in our hearts and we hope we can retire there one day in the area we love 😊
New subscriber as I came across one of your videos the other day. This particular video is one of the best from anyone I've watched. So authentic, inspirational and just real. You guys are a breath of fresh air. Can't wait to watch the others. All the best, James, Sydney.
