This week we have been busy getting everything ready for the next big road trip.
We have had a few concerned messages from our lovely subscribers wondering if everything is ok, I have not done a post for about 5 days which is not like me so I understand how it might worry a few of you, especially considering we have the Swedish government hot on our heels trying to claim our children and put them into school.
Just to put everyone at ease I thought I would do a little update post.
Because we will most likely not return after this next road trip we have been really busy tying up all the loose ends and setting all the wheels in motion for our big move to the land of our dreams.
One of the biggest challenges is getting our trusted old truck through its yearly road safety test and after a new exhaust system and a headlight adjustment, I am pleased to announce The Big Green Steem Machine has passed with flying colours.
My next big project.
I have also been working on a project that is going to be good for this community, I can't say too much right now, all shall be revealed in my next post.
OK I will give you a little clue, the title of my next post will be "What Have You Done For Steemit Lately" and will hopefully inspire people to help steemit instead of moaning because their post is not getting enough money or that the price of steem is going down or that steemit hasn't made them a millionaire yet etc.
The Sweet Smell of Freedom.
Even after 4yrs of living a free life in a tinyhouse travelling around Europe and Africa, we still feel very much a part of the system we dispise. Only when we are producing our own food and start living a much more sustainable life can we truly feel 100% FREE!!!
In just 12 days that is excactly what we plan on doing, we are going to Portugal to build an eco-community and you are all invited to follow our journey of a lifetime right here on steemit.
Peace and love to the World.
Looking forward to know more about your family and adventures :) Happy family
I was beginning to wonder what came of you myself. Thanks for touching base!
hahaha! yeah your not the only one, I have had a lot of private messages on steemit chat asking if everything is ok. it feels good to know that people here are looking out for us :)
Moving with a family can be a lot of work, so I will keep y'all in my thoughts and prayers for good health and a safe journey. Your move sounds wonderful and exciting! Your children will learn so much along the way! Many things the government would never be able to teach them. Enjoy the precious moments and take pictures. Of course, with a blog you already do this! Now that my children are older and we no longer homeschool, we are grateful for all the comics my husband drew and little essays I wrote about our time together as a family when they were little. You are documenting your family's history, which is so nice. Because as much as we think that we won't forget things, we tend to do just that. All the best!
Thank you @denisechips, what a wonderful message you bring across with these words.
We shall most definitely cherish every moment we have together as we know these are the most important times, learning and growing together as one.
We feel so blessed but at the same time we know how easy it is and wonder why more people don't do this.
Yes we will try to capture as many of these memories as possible like you and your husband did.
We'll done for giving your children what they deserved, which was YOU!!!
Thanks for stopping by.
Bless.
Thanks for the kind words Mark. Your children are fortunate to have you & your wife as well. Enjoy!
OH wow! Please tell me which community in portugal? I was looking for something in portugal a few weeks ago.. is it brand new or are you exanding?!
Hello @eco-alex
Our plans are to start an eco-community, our friends have found a piece of land in Portugal that is perfect for such dreams.
I have written a few posts about it, this is the most recent one from last month. Have a read when you get five minutes to spare and let me know what you think :)

Yay!! What an adventure! I haven't been on Steemit for very long (a couple of months) and I am glad to have found your page. I love hearing about people taking their lives back by not feeding the beast system. Great news and post!!
Thank you @yoginiofoz that's a great way to put it because it really does feel like we have taken our lives back :) and instead of feeding the beast as you say, we will concentrate on feeding our community with food and love.
Thanks for the feedback
Bless.
Great reading of you again! I'll keep following your journey of course. And for all those people wanting high payouts....well the community on itself makes it worth posting here instead of established social media. And even when gaining a few cents per post this is always more than the other platforms. Looking forward to your next post
Thank you @s3rg3
You are right as usual, being here for the money is not what it's about, the sooner people realize then they can get on with enjoying their selves and interacting with this wonderful community.
Keep on steeming on my brother!
First time hearing about your adventures, so good luck, stay safe and have fun!
Thank you @mr-easyfix
Looking forward to watching your journey!
Thank you @aboutyourbiz :)
Sounds very exciting! I'll be following with great interest. All the best on your new endeavors.
Thank you @oasis-in-arizona, this is going to be a big one, lots to learn :)
