Whatever you decide - remember that after "the vacation" is over you have to actually live there. As a transport from the states to France - It is very different to live here than it was when vacationing/traveling through.
True, but if you do stay and get through the second phase (phase 1: Everything is AWESOME here, phase 2: Things s*ck here, phase 3: There are good and bad things here and I embrace it all), it's a pretty good place to live.
@@RobertEchten You are so right - that is why I am still here after 12+ years.😁
@@loftno9a853 Me too :-) 14+ years ;-)
Thanks for bringing us along on the adventure. It was cool Drew got to meet up with fellow bike rider and let loose. It's great to know you can travel all over and still find kindred spirits and how nice the people of Baja have been.
"Propertunity", better than just opportunity! 🥰
Ooo!! Love that new word 😍 thank you, it is now added to the repertoire 🙌
I like that word! 👌
I seen a guy older than me step out of the bushes where he had been sleeping over night. I'm just glad I have a home at this nutty time of the world! Timmy C Arizona
Amen 🙏❤️
Buying real estate is so exciting and emotionally exhausting at the same time. We close on our second property in Portugal in 7.5 days and I have been renovating and painting the vacation villa just to deal with my excitement and nerves. For our real estate history is was always a matter of being at the right place at the right time and of course being open to seize a great opportunity when it presented itself. Good luck with your search and may you be at the right place at the right time to buy the property that is exactly right for you at this time in your life and journey.
Beautiful words of wisdom, thank you so so much. And congratulations!! We are so happy for you and the now 2 properties that are lucky enough to be loved on by you 😍🙏 May your words help guide and empower us 💘
Another thrilling adventure Mr. and Mrs. Loving every second, good, better, best parts of van life.
I LOVE your videos and you two are both awesome! That being said and with no disrespect, and an obvious bias, there is no comparison between Mexico and Portugal. Like the other poster said, once the "vacation" is over you have to live there. Much better to live in a place with full infrastructure available AND the beaches and ocean you crave. And yes, opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one.
That belly button analogy is the best thing we’ve heard in a while, made us both LOL this morning, while also appreciating your thoughtful and wise words 🙏❤️
They were also concerned about proximity.
I was thinking in the same direction 'Bom Dia Porto', my belly button must look very similar LOL, but yes, no comparison between Baja and Portugal!
Great video
I hope UA-cam sends you all the money and the algorithm works in your favor
Bro. You did NOT need new brakes. The squeeling is all the dust from the terrain. You were at 50% brake pads. Did NOT need them replaced.
Dang… we were wondering… and the guy who changed em didn’t say a thing 🙄
@@Mrandmrsadventure yeah... sadly most techs won't say a think since it's a money maker job. Easy to do. Hardest part if removing the wheel. My eyes popped out when I say the thickness left on the old pads. You change them when they are at 10% to 15%. I let mines go to 10%. Get my money's worth. Also... depending on the car... front brakes wear down very slowly compared to back brakes. That guy just wanted your money... typical for street car mechanics. There's good people down south... but there's also lots of dishonest people. Good luck! Love your videos! Maybe next time you have mechanical issues... ask us in the comment section. We will help!
@@bobtruck1594 with how bad they were squealing we were concerned that we may be damaging something. We knew that they were the originals from 2008 so figured getting em done wouldn’t hurt. There was also a BIG language barrier in this whole transaction. Oh well.
Keep in mind that when you are that close to the sea, there is a lot more maintaining involved. The salt destroys everything. You will have to paint the outside more often. Expensive electronics like computers and cameras should be stored in dehumidifiers for tropical climates.
All excellent points, it definitely a harsh, extreme environment, and we weren’t even there in summer 😬🥵
@@Mrandmrsadventure I've been working near the beach with electronics for the last 3 years and I'm shocked how fast the salt destroys everything. I try and never use my personal computer outside if I can avoid it by using the company equipment. Super inconvenient because my personal laptop is very organized with lots of info but I almost lost it 2 years ago from DJing on the beach several times a week.
@@jeffbeats420 I can imagine with the DJ sets outdoors. We wish we had a work around solution to keep our electronics away from the elements. Even on days it’s windy and we are in the desert, we find ourselves wiping layers off the counters in our van and comp keyboards.
@@Mrandmrsadventure An air compressor is helpful to blow all the dust and sand out of the hard to get to places
Amazing episode! Makes me want to get back to filming and posting. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode. You packed so much adventure into less than 30 mins. You truly are Mr. and Mrs. Adventure.
Amazing to know that our episodes encourage YOU to put energy into your dreams and passions. Always a pleasure sharing with you 🤗💛
Aww I absolutely love watching your adventures! I kind of love the idea of Baja for you both!
We love sharing them with you!! And we’ll see what life has in store ✨
Morning, i love seeing animals on the beach early in the morning
Have a great adventure episode
And they love “seeing” you!! ✨😍✨
I would absolutely love to ride in Baja. I haven't been able to ride in a very long time. It's so relaxing 😎😁
IT'S FUN WATCHING YOU SEARCH FOR REAL ESTATE! I'M AN OLD BROKER AND YOUR QUESTIONS ARE VERY WISE! I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE A GOOD DECISION WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT!!
You are both hard core hikers! Woah I felt the heat and fatigue towards the end for you both...great blog AS EVER! Still think Portugal is for you both, it's ticks more boxes xxxx
💪❤️🙏😘😘
I wouldn't want Baja. Not a desert kind of person.
Here in Taiwan, the countryside has many homes that look like three containers set in a U-shape. In the cities, many apartment buildings look like stacked containers, single or double wide. If you're looking for your repeated wish statement - looking for hostel-friendly property - then a series of connected containers may fit for wind control, security (able to use cameras and sensors), and sub-rental of various units. Baja may be the place to do that sort of thing. Great to go along with you on the search for what's to come.
Would love to see what those look like in the countryside of Taiwan! How cool. It’s an idea we have thought about.
Excellent thumbnail 👍.
Your videos keep getting better and better 👍
Aww shux 😌 thank you very much ❤️
God will open the right door wide and clear for you to know. Enjoy! Great episode!
Good morning beautiful adventurous people 🌄
🕊️🌏🌍🌎🕊️
Good morning wonderful one!! 🦋🌞🌸🌊✨
Rough roads to the hike ….truly Mr&Mrs Adventure & u brought the drone! 🤗🇦🇺💖👏
Look at you two taking on life in Baja. Very well balanced and interesting video. You two are so you, love it. See you next time.
There's nothing wrong with talking about Portugal. We've been living here for 9 months and absolutely love it! And, as you know, there are some wonderful beaches and coastal areas here. If you ever have any questions about Portugal or the Visa process, I'd be happy to help or steer you in the right direction. Happy travels!
Good to know! 🙏
Just gorgeous. I wanna go😭 I just have to live thru you guys.
Finally grabbed a moment to watch this vid. Several other posters have mentioned the point about when the vacation is over and I will agree to a point. That said, I think I would prefer Portugal. Maybe an idea is to keep your van with your dad when he retires to Baja and visit from Portugal.
Yes yes yes, we love this idea. We have said we just need dad to have his property here so we can keep Spirit here and we can have our Portugal dreamland that he can come enjoy during Baja’s harsh summers 👌We can only hope and do what’s best for us… returning to Baja for VanLife during whale season may be one of those things 🥰🐋 Thank you for being a thoughtful member of our community 💕
Another great episode! So glad for the both of you that Drew found a way to fix the fan! I totally feel you Brittany! When exhausted it is challenging to even be thinking about taking a shower! Looking forward to the next adventure! Adios amigos! 🤗❤️🙏
Whoof! You exhausted me just *watching* you make that hike! 😎 As for contemplating your eventual purchase/move ... I know you are getting a little fed up with life in Spirit, but there really is no rush to buy property, is there? Baja is gorgeous, but maybe it's enough for now to just drink in as much of it as you can ... keep on keepin' on, you two, you inspire us!
Thanks for continuing share great content. The joy you show and the love you share is just the dessert. You help me remember that not everyone is a jerk and you give me hope for mankind. Thank you.
As always a wonderful adventure guys. Loved it. Take your time making your decision. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪
Thank you for your gentle words of encouragement and ❤️✨
The people are definitely a large part of why I love living in Baja. You always find someone to help and at most all they ask for their help is 'algo para la coca' (something to get a coke).
The trail you did I think is something that people usually do over 2 or 3 days, so you were definitely ambitious. I haven't done it myself (yet), but there is supposed to be a lake and everything somewhere, which is special because as you said, water is an ongoing struggle here.
During that time you were there, it did get pretty hot, but nothing like August/September hot... It is something to take into consideration, but as far as buying something a bit further from others might actually be a good thing. As I keep saying, security isn't as much an issue as you might think and construction will come that way anyway (unfortunately). As far as permitting restrictions, those can probably be changed...
We love that you guys are doing unguided hikes down there. You really get the feel for what the locals might go to. It looked like a long day, but there's just something to tiring yourself out like that. So rewarding!
Yes, feel so good to sit down and relax back at the van after a long adventurous day! 💚
Nine palms is amazing but there’s so many other spots to explore, thank you for sharing! 💜💜
Whew guys!! Pushed that adventure 🤪🦋🌈 and Thank God for Fans!!!
If it were me, I’d still go for the land you both put an offer on before. Baja is desolate and the globe is only getting hotter, sadly. Climate change is scary and happening faster every year… idk. That is just my two cents. I just LOVE you both, want the best for you🙏🌹 Stay Beautiful, until next video, stay cool chillins🥰😘🌈
A point we have considered a lot, Unfortunately 🌎
I so much more love your price for brakes as I just paid $1,145.00 for brakes… 😌 glad Lucky Blue is ok! Great adventures, thanks for sharing. 💕
Thanks! Us too!
Amazing - loved the video. Have to admit tho’ that I hope you pick Portugal over Baja.
Buying your first property is such an emotional roller coaster. Hiking out the hard decisions is the best way. Looked like a great hike.
It certainly feels like it and we haven't even signed a document yet. haha
@@Mrandmrsadventure good luck in the search. Praying for your search!
@@escapingnormalwcraigandchr9601 🙏
Love you guys ☺️
We 💛 you back!
What a grand adventure, such a beautiful area and I loved the hike upwards!!!!!! Yeah! Great vlog folks, much love and many blessings from Coyotes Natural Medicine!!! Hugs Kelli
Big hugs back!!
I love your content!! I hope you guys find all the properties y’all could ever want!
The hike looked very rough 🐈great view 🙃 great you fixed the bike n fan 💕 see you next time 😎🌹
Such Prime time adventure. And perfectly wonderful that your so entertaining vids come out on Sundays. Love inside Drew's mind shot. Drew must have a famous director/editor. 😁
A top notch one! Mrs Adventure is the highly acclaimed editor. 😁
@@Mrandmrsadventure We see. Brittany the mountain mermaid.. how sublime 😀
I don't ever get sick of all the views of nature. Thank you for sharing. Good luck with your decisions
Glad you got the fan working ! Great video
Great episode. Baja looks so beautiful . I like the views Thanks for sharing
I can see you both in Baja, especially since your Dad has come connections 'n such. At first I was really excited about Baja for you two. In the '90s I bought near Santa Teresa, Costa Rica and developed a hectare. Looking at how arid it is year round there, water is going to be an issue. You can get creative and with some effort make it work. I then immediately though about our future rising sea levels. My UA-cam psychics say we will begin to see major problems in 10 years and Washington DC will have to be moved in 20 years. I mean, who knows, but Baja is surrounded. But on the other hand, I kind of see you there. Had I traveled there in the '90's I may have ended up there, it looks fabulous!!!! Can't wait to see what's next. XOXOXOX
Putting van fan on the top of my list ❤❤❤❤
Yes!! 100% and when paired together with a hatch above the bed or a window near the bed 🙌
@@Mrandmrsadventure I have louvered windows a foot an head of bed and a vent above the bed. I’m thinking if putting fantastic fan above the bed. And a full on AC unit in the mid front. I’m going to be stationary most if the time at my future “Baja Property “ . I read you van run the roof AC while driving if you have the correct set up with your battery and alternator. My vintage van dash AC is broken and obsolete. So rather than replace that I’m doing a small Dometic roof AC.
@@bohoxplorer840 you will definitely need something. Since AC uses so much power you will need to run off the alternator while driving or use shore power. Sounds like you have a good solution lined up. 🧊☀️
@@Mrandmrsadventure yeah I was thinking small gas generator too, as Miss Daisey can’t get too hot. Special consideration for pets. You two don’t have to worry about that.
That hike was sweet! Good call on the new brakes for spirit ;) cool video guys 😎🤘
Sunday adventure time!!!! Xx
Yay!!! We hope you enjoyed every moment 🤗
Always a pleasure watching your adventures! 💗
What an adventure packed video!!!
Excellent video you two. Baja's definitely on my list to go visit one of these years. Do your due diligence at buying property. We live on the coast in Ecuador and your neighbor could build a seven-story condo if enough money is passed under the table for permits. With that said good luck I love watching your guy's adventure, pretty awesome.
Awesome Video, You should make Baja your home. We are flying down next Sunday and spending almost two weeks at our friend's place in Punta Pescadero right on the beach. Once again, Love watching your videos, Take Care
Fyi, a lot of those spiky plants are likely rare native species. The more people develop coastal areas the less habitat there is for stuff like that.
You can always get Starlink
It is becoming more common. In PT is rare as of when we were last there.
@@Mrandmrsadventure yes and know they made it so RVs can move around and use it. Before you were locked in just at you house.
I am gonna go on the hunt now and look for your Portugal vlogs. Thanks again for all the free info and sharing.
You’re welcome. Enjoy and we wish you the best with you property hunt!
Ahh...Life Fitness, I love their machines. I am a member of Planet Fitness and that is the majority of the machines. Buying property is such a huge and scary step. You guys will do great with what ever you purchase. Wishing you the best of luck. You got this!!!
😘
In Portugal are also nice people and dolfins and no robbers and people from over the whole world.😇💟💟💟
❤️🐬🌍🌸🌟
Yes this is another great leg of your adventure. I’d love to be or know your neighbors . Glad you are able to mix with locals as well as other expats and travelers. You find the magic of Baja and its people.
The local people are what as the magic to places we visit. ✨🎶
Just ordered my tees from Seadon! Thanks for the discount. Little disappointed I didn’t get the free Beenie 🤓 but super excited about my new tees!❤️❤️❤️ Absolutely love your content ! This was a great one that! That hike looked brutal. You guys rocked it! thank you so much for you’re awesome videos!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦋❤️🦋
Yay! That’s awesome to hear! You are gonna love them. As for the beanie, you will be contacted by Seadon directly after the purchase confirmation to choose your color. Please let us know if you don’t receive an email from them. ❤️ Ps. We have contact led them on our end just in case. You’re the Best!! ✨😁
WoW 🤩 you are real adventurous explorers!!! Thank you for taking us on these wonderful discoveries!!!♥️♥️♥️
What a lovely 🌈!
I hope you guys find something in Mexico. I really think there's more potential here than in Europe.
Hope you guys can get used to very high heat and humidity during the summer and early fall months. You'd have to leave the area and go elsewhere to get out of it. I've been there during those times of year, well to Puerto Penasco and San Carlos Bay east of Guaymas. Almost no one goes there during those months except locals who are used to us. You'd also need someone you trust to be a care taker during that time of year, as houses left alone are frequently broken into. Good luck.
We have heard about the intense humidity. We would melt inside of Spirit if we lasted in Baja that long while searching too 😉 Thanks for the tips!
Hi Guys-
Something to consider- Usually it's important to "Turn" or replace the rotors (disks) as they can become "glazed" which not only causes squeal, it can also permeate and glaze the new pads as they wear with time.
All the best-
Hmmm so maybe we should have changed more than just the pads…
😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰 amazing video....love yours adventures 💖 kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷 ❤️ 😘
So glad to see you are jumping up more quickly on YT now. About time. You deserve it so much. And yes I was observing it since last year.
I wish you all the best and if you decide on Portugal, do take things slowly and check before buying. Often there are many hidden problems.
Even if people prefer to see our failures, I wish you a smooth sale in Portugal. And I am pretty sure our paths will cross then.
Safe travels
Thank you so much!! We feel the momentum and know that we will fall into the right thing ❤️✨ See you again some day! .
Nice place to look at.
Mexico is where it's at.
Was going to buy there 20 years ago. We should have.
Mexico is the future. I hope you're able to find something you love there.
Thanks for your adventure time.😇💟💟💟 love you guys.
Means more getting to share with beautiful people like you 🤗❤️🙏
As always, thank you for sharing your adventures with us. We hope Portugal is winning out with you two. We are enjoying Porto right now as we watched this.
❤️ Your music performance the other day was lovely. 🎶
Keep in mind offering house sitters an opportunity to keep your future home safe and happy❣️
Good Morning,
Just beige watching your recent videos. I haven’t followed since the beginning of the pandemic. What a great lifestyle you two are living. My 8 year old daughter loves watching with me and wants to do some van life living also lol. Happy to see y’all are still living your dreams. Happy trails and take care.🙏✌️
Good Day! That is the sweetest. Tell her that we are proud to have an adventure lover like her in our community 😁❤️
I just discovered y’all through Kara and Nate! Loving it! I appreciate how Brittany puts the little moments in like with the butterfly on her backpack. I’ve only seen a handful of episodes but I’ll be watching them all! I saw y’all said Drews dad is in OBX? My hubs is from VB and used to like practically live at the beach surfing there 😂
Yay! It's those very simple things in nature that captivate us. 🦋 My parents live in FL, but go to OBX often for kiting since the wind and surf is so good there. Keep an eye out for our upcoming episode with Kara and Nate 💚
No, YOU guys are the best.
😍
Love you guys, thanks for sharing. Greg and Cody my manx cat
What a cool hike! Great episode!
Have Y'all ever looked at a private island in Belize or Bocas Del Toro?
That's so good
I agree. I was planning on being here till mid May (got her end feb) and I'm already thinking I might cut that short....its getting warm here 😬
Heads up kids there's no water really think it through good luck to you
LOVE you YT name. Water is key for all mermaids, Brittany included.
24:45. That's the way to get to a peak 😄
Where did you leave your bike when you hiked to the peak? Did you secure it or hide it?
Locked it at the trailhead
still had half the pads left, you got taken for a ride. probably just needed the disks machined
You no I think you should find a place there. It's close to the usa and family.
As real estate goes, any great place in time becomes populated, crowded even, & always expensive.
So, if you buy now when the land is still open - before it gets looking like Florida or any other overbuilt place - you could enjoy & then when it becomes overbuilt and crowded - sell, make a huge profit and move to? I don’t know Portugal.
PS. LOVe the
That’s exactly what we were thinking too 😉
You couldn't pay me to build where the hurricanes are the worst!!!
There's always Starlink for internet, I believe it's in Mexico now.
What happened with Portugal? Did I miss that shift? X
Everywhere wonderful is a consideration 🥰We decided to go to Baja while awaiting the renewal of our Schengen visas and will return to Portugal to continue the search after another little detour… so much more to come! 🚐❤️
hello you are awesome
As are you! Thank you for being here with us 🙏
I liked it!
Have you considered Rialto Mexico for a home? I don't think I would have taken the chance of leaving my bike there to the possibility of being stolen. That would have been a very long, scary walk back to your RV.
We saw some horses we could have “borrowed” to get back if needed 😉
that's the biggest watch in the world.
I would like to know where did you get your watch Britney.?
It was a brand gift to us from our early days of blogging. It's a Timex.
I don't know guys, but I keep "seeing" you in the States. Just a feeling, I guess.
We crave culture. If you didn't know we lived in Europe for 2.5 years.
I love your channel more and more. That shirt available in V neck? What is wrong with Gringo Community? US Prices?Storage containers. Lock up sounds Good your Dad on the next plot of land and a big fence electrified to keep people out and a couple of stories to see over fence and enjoy the view. Is Mexico Cheaper then Portugal. U R closer to family in Mexico? What I don’t like is in US we accommodate Spanish Speakers but in Mexico they don’t accommodate the English Speakers. Drove to Mexico got lost. No road signs in English near the boarder to find our way out with stupid ex boyfriend which it was his idea to do since to late for a tour but he was too chicken to get out of the car after we crossed the boarder for directions to get back. 🤪😱
I would have had a hard time leaving that sweet goat tied down………. I sure hope someone took care of the sweet girl/boy!.
💯💖🌺🌷🌹🌸❤💯

@@Mrandmrsadventure 🌴🌼🐏🐃🐬🐠🐓🐔🏄🍹🍷🌮🌮🥑
Surely Baja/Mexico...is better than Portugal for you both?
Maybe you could convince your dad to buy the 2nd property.
