Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

That log splitter machine is a great investment. It would take you HOURS longer to split all that wood by hand. If only they made an attachment that stacked the wood for you! LOL you are such a hard worker, Theo. I admire you.

Bee! Theo! It’s Marirose from the USA. You’ve both been on my mind so much, but I’ve been and continue to be very ill. Am actually at end-of-life & going on hospice sooner than later. Have missed you very, very much. Please don’t take it personally if I don’t watch or comment; just too weak most of the time. You two look great. Made me so happy to see you both, the animals, and all of Miracle Mountain even if only on my tablet screen. Much love to you both and continued prosperity and health in 2025.🥳🥰🫠

Happy New Year. You should both be so proud of what you have accomplished in 2024. Looking forward to seeing the fun things you will do in 2025. Bee you are looking beautiful as always. Theo love the new hat.

[marciashedeck]

I love this so much and seeing all you've accomplished so far. I think back to how you guys were robbed of the Alaska property (in my opinion) and how much better off you are with Miricle Mountain!! It so suits you both and your teamwork. I just love following your journey. I recommend checking out another of my favorite couples to follow Simply Living Alaska and their lumber mill set up. You guys could do the same very easily. Love and Huggs ❤

You have done such an amazing job here! I had my doubts when you first bought this land. You have both grown in skills and accomplishments over the years.

[francinel.]

Seeing your smiles at the end of the video, shows the success you had in 2024 Here's to an even more successful year 2025.
