    Our Journey! How did we get here?
    In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

    does anyone know a thing or two about building homes out of cement?? How about construction IN THE DESERT? this is something we have been working on for months, saving and dreaming about for years. As we said at the end of the video this is a very planned and future thinking decision that will take many months to start- BUT we cannot wait to begin this new chapter & project 💛 Thank you for coming along on our journey through life we couldn’t do this without you xx

      My wife and I moved to San Antonio Rocha - Uruguay in August 2022, to retire on our own private beach. Concrete construction is the standard here and having spent the previous 10 years in a large log house in a cedar forest in Cherryville BC. I have been watching you guys for several years and can suggest strongly that if you can find a house that is close to what you want do it. Starting from scratch has so many potential downsides from workers and quality of work to permits to red tape. The best part is enjoying it now, like you did in Canada. Make it your own once you are on the ground, referral is the best way forward with reno's repairs get to know the locals take your time. We live on an acre on an empty beach. Best from UY

    Welcome to Baja, my husband & I have been living down here for 11 years in San Felipe, on the Sea of Cortez, and love it. My husband is a retired contractor so he was able to do al lot with our home as far as fixing things on our existing home like plumbing and electrical as they weren't anywhere close to code. But thats Mexico. No complaints. It's quite a challenge and very different to build a block house. My husband will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

      be very careful about location as in many locations getting basic services is very difficult.

    Wondering what happened to the Nova Scotia property with the rotted cabin adjacent to the original acreage. I was anticipating that would be the basis for generating new content. One of the difficulties in basing UA-cam followers, views and membership around builds is that eventually the build matures and there is less and less to redo, add on to, remodel. etc. Shifting to an entirely new area with a completely different build challenge is the obvious choice, but it stands to reason why you chose this new place as you already had plenty of experience living in Baha and loved the lifestyle and people.
    The question remains about what you decide to do with the Nova Scotia properties. That and Baha are like complete opposites, to the point of ultimately stretching yourselves too thin trying to maintain both over time. Let's face the fact that a property not lived in is a property that can degrade. Plus, the fact that traveling between the two places is kind of a logistic pain with two large dogs. And this world gets a little bit smaller every year which brings its own challenges of security while away. Living in Baha also doesn't present the challenges of the isolation that was part of living in Nova Scotia.

Where do you get all the money? You have every tool and machine in the universe and now you are moving to a barren beach? I don't get it. If you have sold the cabin property this would make sense.

    Good luck with this because it's really difficult to own land in Baja.❤ years ago back in the 80s I was a young songwriter musician with financial backing, living in Hollywood. I took a trip with a friend to Rosorito Baja Mexico. I rented a beach bungalow and never wanted to return to the US. The beach and the magic of Baja was wonderful. I said just leave me here with my guitar and a tape recorder forever!!! Lol😂❤ Now Rosorito is a built up tourist mess. Riding horses into the beach sunset is too crowded. But! I wouldn't mind retiring in Lower Baja today. But even Baja has gotten expensive. Everyone falls in love with Baja but they've made it very difficult to live there permanently. You'll find out but I wish you two a miracle!😂❤🏳️‍🌈PS: desert building is fun. I've lived in a living desert ghost town for years in Mohave Desert Of Ca. You can build your greenhouses strong and solar/ water operated. Learn to know where the sun shines different times of the year. Note that nothing and I mean nothing gets completed in Baja. Lol. If something is plumbed??? Why is it not finished? There is water issues in Baja and funny laws that don't allow " gringos" to ever quite complete or completely own on their properties. You might want to hire a real good real estate lawer!!! Know your property management and the Baja Mexican laws. Plus you might be dealing with cartel laws and interference. Learn from the locals what may limit your building capacities. I'm just warning you about rumours I've heard for YEARS! Otherwise mote Californians would have dominated Baja years ago. So, be wary! There are weird clauses in the buying of Baja property which is why there are so few actual land ownees from other countries.
