Cliffside. Ocean below. No plan. This is exactly where we are supposed to be. Today we begin 10 days of van life in Portugal and can't wait to take you on the adventure.

Everly has claimed her sleeping spot and has jokes about it; there is a building so close to falling apart it has a sign telling you not to go near it, and the pop-top reveal does not go exactly as expected. We also share the last time we slept in a rooftop camper and why we are convinced this time will be completely different.

22 keeps showing up in our life. Today we think we know why.No Kids Hungry 👉 GoFundMe — https://gofund.me/6e55e79c4Start on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOAThis is our last day at the house sit before we hit the road and live in a van for the next 10 days. Fresh lemons and oranges straight off the trees, a location that made everything easy, and a toddler who would not stop hugging us long enough to let us pack. We reflect on healthy habits and get some laughs out of it, talk about what this channel is really here to do, and somewhere in the middle of all of it the daily vlogs start to make a lot more sense than they did on day one.We're Frankie and Alex.

We thought we knew what to expect. Portugal had other plans.No Kids Hungry 👉 GoFundMe — https://gofund.me/6e55e79c4Start on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOASintra stopped us in our tracks today. The history, what it means for Portugal, and how it still shapes the country right now is something we were not prepared for. Everly talked over most of the clothes line moment, the time change from North America barely touched us, but going home to Canada is going to be a different story, and 10 days in a van across one of the cleanest countries we have ever seen starts now.We're Frankie and Alex.

We asked a toddler a serious question. She didn't hesitate.No Kids Hungry 👉 GoFundMe — https://gofund.me/6e55e79c4Start on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOAWe stopped at the largest fast-food restaurant in Portugal today and what Europe is doing with affordability compared to North America genuinely surprised us. But the highlight of the day was getting to see Brittany and Drew — Mr. and Mrs. Adventure — living out exactly what they told us they were going to do back in 2020. We met them that year and they were already talking about moving to Portugal. Seeing them actually here, living it, doing it, reminded us why we started this whole thing in the first place. Getting to visit them in a van felt like coming full circle. Then we asked Everly if we should move to Europe and away from Canada. She said yes. We also have some exciting news about where you can find this content going forward and a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to the charity.

Nobody warns you about the parts that are hardest to say out loud.No Kids Hungry 👉 GoFundMe — https://gofund.me/6e55e79c4Start on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOAWe spent Easter in Portugal this year and it looked nothing like what we grew up with. A museum we didn't expect to love, a beach we had never been to, and traditions we carried with us from home that somehow felt even more meaningful on the other side of the world. We also get honest today about what parenting actually feels like. The struggles nobody posts about. The upside that makes every hard day worth it.

Alex has some thoughts about how much I contribute around the house, and she is not holding back. We also tell stories about giving to random strangers and why those moments matter more than people realise. Then I talk about something I haven't said on camera yet.

Then at lunch two strangers did something for Everly that stopped us completely. Portugal keeps showing us something about people that we don't want to forget. We also talk about the years Alex and I spent waiting tables and what that taught us about kindness. Everly is on the trampoline. And I'm hanging out with the pigeon.

We talk about the sports we played growing up, why dance has always been a big part of both of our lives, and why none of that surprises us when we watch Everly move. We play soccer in the backyard. We sit down and eat dinner together — all of us, including you. And we talk about what this community has become in just 14 days. The stories you've been sharing with us.
