Create Your Own Paradise
Netherlands
Registrace 10. 08. 2016
We are a world schooling family of four, living in a beautiful community in Portugal. Our journey began 13 years ago when we lived on an abandoned piece of land in Spain for six years. It was there that we discovered our passion for living in nature, being free, and sharing our experiences with others. We are passionate about off-grid living, natural building and most of all our children, to just let them be and to explore life in their own pace.
We also love to visit other places that share our values and make films about them to share with the world. Our goal is to inspire others to live closer to nature and be more drawn to life.
We'll also share stories about amazing ecovillages and communities around the world!
Learning from and making films about alternative ways of living is a passion of ours, as you will find out.
If you would like us to visit you and to make a beautiful video together about your project. Please get in touch

#11 | DIY Pallet Wood Barn Door on a Budget | How to Build a Beautiful Door for Only €10
In this video, we show you how we made a sliding barn door from free pallet wood that we found in a garbage container. This is a great way to reuse and recycle wood that would otherwise go to waste. We also used the shou sugi ban technique, an ancient Japanese method of charring wood to preserve and enhance its beauty. The result is a stunning door with a rich texture and a rustic charm.
We live in an eco community in southern Portugal called Malama, a hidden paradise where we can enjoy nature and a simple lifestyle. If you want to learn more about our community and the workshops we offer, check out our website: malamaretreat.space
We hope you enjoy this video and get inspired to create your own projects with reclaimed wood. The best part is, we made this door almost for free, except for the screws, the gas for the gas torch, and the linseed oil. How cool is that? 😎

Be careful lots of criminals and drugadicts
Greetings from uganda
Hi we lowered the legs of our trampoline and dug a hole to put it in ,which stopped it blowing away you just have to dig it deeper in the centre to allow for bouncing. Hope this helps 👍
Thanks for your advice! We just did a crowdfund and are ordering a low one. We will dig a hole underneath AND anchor with metal wire to the ground! Never again! ;)
background music over conversation....too busy....😥
Sorry to hear that
I wonder if they consider cannabis as a 'drug' as that's a great thing to grow there and can be used for many medicinal purposes, textiles, etc.
Mooi wark!
Adorei 😊
Obrigado! 🤗
👍💪❣️😊
❤️
I say it again, keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤
Nice tutorial bro keep up the good work❤❤

Wow! you guys are so uplifting! Staying positive amidst huge challenges. I happen to find your channel 1 day ago. I am also living in Portugal and have been dreaming to live in a community for over a decade. My plan is to visit a few in 2024 and Malama will be the first, probably around March. Thanks for inspiring me!!! I wish you a wonderful wrapping up of the current year and an amazing 2024!!
Dear Serene, thank you so much for this! We are ending 2023 with your words in our mind ❤️ Keeping it as our goal for 2024 “staying positive amidst huge challenges” We’ll be back in Malama by February. Looking forward to meeting you. 🤗
Glade to see you have her working at last! 😂

Hello!I saw one other family in Portugal did the same, The Scotters go off grid! You might like to see it, you never know maybe some idea will pop up!? Good luck! 🤞💪🍀
Hi Lidija, that’s so funny that you see the similarities 😃 Actually they are friends of ours and we started this CZcams journey together ❤️ Sending lots of love your way 🤗
😂😂😂
Exactly!! 🤣
All the best and good luck guys!🤞
Good luck! 🍀🤞😊
I really feel you trying to organise such a small space, I raised 5 children in a caravan just a little larger than your own..but we had no vermin free storage space outside either..for the mold ofcourse everything must be kept dry warm and ventilated,not easy when it rains! For hard to get to spaces,fill a sock with woodbased cat litter,it helps soak up any condensation..ofcourse you need to check and renew once in a while. Also the little dehumidifier gel boxes you can find in the Chinese shops here help too.
Thank you so much Fiona ❤️🙏❤️ You are our hero! Living with 5 kids in a caravan 😲 sounds really intense. Great tips as well. The ventilation is sometimes hard as you say. After three days of rain and mist everything just feels damp. We use ceramic stones (made from silica) in the wardrobe to absorbe the moist and dehumidifier under the beds. We’ll try the socks filled with woodbased cat litter 👍 The most difficult area is our (still) open kitchen. We love wooden spoon’s but they turn black already after some days. We turned to using more stainless steel and some things are made from plastic 🫣 Luckily that will change after our final kitchen is built. We are curious, what is your living situation at the moment? Still out in nature? Sending love your way ❤️
3200 without everyone inside? Add the humans and a full tank of fuel..glad you made it..please though,this number is not just for fun. Its the braking capacity of the vehicle fully loaded..being over can be deadly,is it worth the risk? Ps..I think the weight for thar vehicles allowance is 3.5t..in which case you were just on the limit,allowing for yourself and fuel/water etc.
🫣Yes 3200 without us inside 😬 We won’t do that again 🤞🏼
Hohoohoooo...oh my God! This is a very dramatic Video! And you made it as NEWS! Very good! I hope you can save the beautiful community and we send you best wishes!!! Congrats to the >1000!!!
Lovely Carmen, it was absolutely intense 😅 Sending love your way wherever you are at the moment. 🤗❤️🤗 and thank you for your support. We miss you all. Maybe one day you’ll come back and we’ll have a laugh together 😘
I seriously love you guys! What a fantastic video 💚
You just made our day ❤️ Thank you so much and please keep watching 🤗 That’s what we are doing it for!!!!
Loving community spirit, happy children and happy parents. The greenhouse is transformed. 😊
YES 🙌 Can it get any better? Sending love your way ❤️
You guys deserve a medal. You just kept so positive. It looked scary just watching it.
Aawww, thank you so much 🤗 There’s only one way.. forwards ❤️ Never give up. Right?!!!
you guys are having some fun time there. I know it's easier to say that done but I'm just very glad to see you guys staying optimistic!
It’s all about staying positive. Right? Lots of love to you and thank you for your support ❤️much appreciated
It was really scary, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that! But as you said, Sun 🌞is back. There's nothing more beautiful than happy, smiling kids that enjoy playing! 😍❣️ Wish you a lot of sunny days!
Indeed, it was really nerve wracking. But that’s life in nature sometimes you don’t know what to expect. Thank you Lidija ❤️ for your lovely words.

Hi there so you are living in Spain ? How do you make a living to survive for your cost of living ?
Dear Ironfistarrival, we lived in Spain a while ago. Nowadays we share our time between the Netherlands and Portugal. Making a living while travelling is always difficult, I know. So far we work it out by saving money while working back in the Netherlands. Lots of love your way ❤️
❤️❤️
Big Hug over there! <3
Big hug back 🤗❤️🤗
Beautiful. What a view. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Beautiful Video, Beautiful People :)
