Welcome! We’re Andre and Lisa. A married South African couple who has been traveling together for almost 20 years, to more than 50 countries. In 2017 we took stock of our life and made the decision to 'retire early'. We gave up our professional careers and all our personal possessions to explore the world as full-time nomads. Over the past three years, we have been traveling through Europe with our 22-year-old Motorhome. Please subscribe to follow along and join us on our adventure!

Your excitement is so tangible! We got excited for you too!! Lots of really interesting considerations. Good luck again! 🥰 RnR xx

[andrerasquinha]

All the best. Fingers crossed for you 🙏

[angelac]

Greetings from Tokyo! Thanks for that video. V interesting. Thanks too for the Saily advice. When we recommence our travelling we will definitely look into that. In the meantime - as always - we look forward to the next instalment. P&A

[creekyknee]

The loft house, it has to be the loft house.... I can't wait to learn more about the mystery house. You both seem to love it, I hope it works out for you. They say that variety is the spice of life, well you guys live a very spicy life ! I can't wait to see what you two young ones are up to next. You are a breath of fresh air folks. Stay safe and keep smiling.

Hey A&L, We have also entertained the idea of buying or renting in Italy or France. Financially renting wins out while owning offers other freedoms. For comparison how is the long term lease situation in the area you are looking? Have you looked at any rental properties?
Excited to hear about your next travel destination (drop a clue) and happy house hunting!

[fulvias.]

Thanks for the video! Just to clear a little, all the advices you gave are precious and are mostly helpful when you talk about south of italy and rural italy. 😊 If you look for a place in bigger cities like Milan or Turin, it is really difficult to find irregularities because there is really much more control.

[TimAskerov]

Best of luck to you guys with all you exciting plans and adventures!

[annettemccabe]

Yes that is very true...one has to be careful 👍🤣

[mikebourke]

Happy Base Hunting 😊
Remember "The Day you Buy ..
Is the Day you Sell "
Stay Free and Safe Travels 😀 🙏 ✨

I understand the life on wheels can reach the point of oversaturation (technical term for: got bored, tired of, sick of, exhausted etc...), but so can be static life in one place. Especially if it happens in that order - life on wheels and then static one in one place. Once you get the traveling bug it never dies off. The difference is when you get bored of living on wheels, it is always easier to switch to static life. But when you decide to go back on the road again, you cannot just sell the property and move in the motorhome again. By then you invested so much into the home and it is not only money. It is much harder to part away to justify getting back on road. So while it all looks exiting now, when you look at the things you desire now and when those desires change it will be too late and too hard to just change your mind. Your intention is to get the home, keep it and then get back on the road when you feel like. Leaving the home behind. In my opinion if you do this, the best thing is to get something cheap and something less demanding for renovations. Something you will have no problems just turning the key in the lock, jump on the wheels and head for a new adventure. This means you have to sacrifice. You have to sacrifice your ideal place of the home you will buy, the layout and size of the rooms and the location (proximity to the beach etc). I am not saying you have to get some shed in the middle of nowhere, but unless you are really settling down, dont spend too much on it. Don't look at the positive sides of the properties according to what you desire now. Try to spend less money and time on renovations. Once more, it is not only the money you have to pay for it but you will invest yourself into it. And rule of thumb is no matter how much will be the total cost on the paper including the renovations it will always be much more at the end.
This is only my opinion, I may be wrong but if not, dont let your current excitement cost you too much later. There are too many variables as they are now but the unforeseen variables are those which will bite you back later.
Anyways, I wish you a good luck and happy new home whichever you decide to get.

[amandaking]

Love your program. We renovated a barn in France - very happy time doing it so I am watching what you are doing with great interest. I love the way you work together, yhour energy and cheerfulness. Did you really only pay one Euro for your house and what is you r closest town?

[vivienogden]

I wonder if you have seen The Travel Beans who are YouTubers. They are a British couple who travel and recently bought an old Sicilian town property. Because there was no planning for internal changes made by the previous owners, all this had to be removed, so much more work than first thought.

[russmcsporran]

It sounds very exciting. Personally I would go for something which doesn’t require as much work as ‘65’. It all seems very romantic until 1 or 2 yrs in and little progress has been made. You don’t want to end up hating the whole thing and selling (which is something I’ve often seen). At least if something is liveable then you can still travel from time to time.
BTW Andre, do you also speak Italian?

[coloradoridgerunner]

Love your videos!! You were advertising Saily I know they are one of your sponsors, and it sounds like a good deal, but I have found that my US Tmobile android phone works both in Europe and Asia as well as Mexican and I have unlimited texting.

[susie]

Hey, you forgot to talk about your next trip!

[cbw]

Keep driving lads, the grass is not always greener ! if you have that kind of money put it into a new van and keep the journey alive, you have too much energy to stand still and get tied to a money pit.

[Kermit-Si]

Guys, come on, why not show us the 3rd property? your teasing us😂. It's great to see you both so excited. 👍🐸

In Serbia, and generally in the Balkans, you can get better properties for less money, with electricity and water supply, with lots of fruit trees and milder, enjoyable climate. The laws and authorities are, generally speaking, much more favourable. Only, there is no sea. But, you are in the farthest around 600 km from three seas, and very close to beautiful rivers and mountains.
For 200, 000 euros you can get a modern villa with a pool in a good location, in the countryside that is half an hour drive from a city.
Those Italian dilapidated, neglected houses without facilities far away in the sticks are insanely expensive, as a matter of fact, considering their condition and location. They should cost next to nothing, around 1 euro.

Really good vid. 👍 Apart from power & water l think the main problem is tradesmen, not many will be fighting over remote jobs....but by now l'd be surprised if there were not English speaking companies for this very market? I'm looking in Spain, away from the cities for cost but near enough to a beach to cycle there.
