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!

I’ve used them in the past at work. They provide a good service
Something really bad must have happened. They have never gone this long without checking in.
Please Theo, let us know if everything is alright. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I just wanted to let you know that you two have been on my mind so much in the past 2 weeks. I hope that you both are healthy and stress free. We all love & miss you both. I pray that the person responsible for the recent fire comes to light.
Have been feeling very concerned about you both. It would be so tragic if you lost your wonderful enthusiasm and joyful presence. Please seek help if misfortune and stress is proving too much. We are here for you.
In the prior vlog, Theo mentioned something happening ten days before that would change their lives forever. And then the fire on their other property. They have been through so much and if they are overwhelmed, they do indeed need counselling. No shame in that whatsoever.
I think we are all extremely worried about you guys and we’re so sorry you’re going through this. You are loved from all around the world. ❤
My heart is breaking for you. No words can say so much 😢 Poor Bea. Hope you both are able to weather this latest trauma together. In the meantime we’re all praying for your hearts to mend and are able once again to move past another hurdle.
This was hard to watch, Theo. I feel you're in a lot of pain and that is heartbreaking. I wish bad things didn't happen to good people. You are such a strong person and, even now, when struggling with all that has happened, you still go forward, continue to put one foot in front of the other. You do that to build the life that both you and Bee want and deserve. It may not get you through these dark times, but I'll say it anyway. You are loved and respected, not only by Bee, your family, and your friends, but by many thousands of people you've never met. You have the hopes, warmth, and best wishes of all of us to, hopefully, give you a little bit extra to draw from . Sent with much love and concern.
More than any other vlog, this one highlighted the vision, drive and determination you two have for the property. I am soooo very impressed by the strength of that vision and your fortitude to carry on and NOT be discouraged. Bee, your love and support as well as YOUR two extra helping hands keeps this man going. I know you're there behind that camera getting the best shots of Theo forging ahead. What a powerful couple you two are!! All my love and all my best wishes and prayers for you both!!
The Indie Projects: ASMR Edition. When you get down over losing something, or having it damaged, just remember that you were fortunate to have those things to lose, or to be damaged to begin with. Many people have nothing to even lose. You are both blessed to have each other and your amazing properties. You work hard and deserve those things. Plants grow back and structures can be rebuilt. Difficult things happen to remind us to appreciate what we have. I know it can be hard at times, speaking as someone who has endured great hardship, but we are never given more than we can handle, things really do happen for a reason, and those redirections have purpose. You have so many people who love and care about you, and you can count this old lady from Arizona as one of them. This too shall pass. The two of you have great things and wonderful experiences in your future. I wish you the best of health and fortune.
Hope that didn't come across as being too preachy, it wasn't meant to be LOL. Just sending so much love and support. Been watching you both grow so much over a long period of time. Wish I lived closer so I could pitch in and help.
This too shall pass if my motto. From this old lady in St Louis. Great words of encouragement for sure.
@@cddurant3909you spoke beautifully it was a joy to read
Love love love you folks - persevere and know the most important is home is where you and your heart LIVE! And you folks are so savvy you have options - amazing! And you create beautiful spaces - one big hug!!!!
You are both so loved by so many. Stay strong and remember you have so many out there praying for you both.
I look forward to every video from you. I have been worried about you and Bee since the last video. I do hope you both are getting all the help you need in every way you need. You do not need to carry any burden alone. Peace be with you.
I wish I could package and mail warm hugs to you both, I know we haven’t met, but I do enjoy our time together! If I was near I’d offer to pitch in, or visit the chickens, feed the goats, play with Fernando and Gingi, or just sit and be a friend. I really appreciate all your videos, thank you for sharing ❤
Well done, I loved your filming--such smooth camera angle shifts. It worked. Edited to perfection. Take care!
It was sad not hearing your cheerful, sometimes cheeky, commentary as you worked, but I know y'all are going through stuff. Sending you all healing light and love! Be well!
HI Theo are you OK a full video without a word is very unusual and is Be OK ? we haven't seen her for a while I am worried about you both .. love to you both tomorrow is a better day xx
Pretty exhausted after the last few weeks, Thought I would try something different where I could focus on the work that needed doing 🙏
Fantastic video great music great viewpoints and great story telling without a word. Well done!
Enjoy very much your video, water is golden as mention earlier. We missed hearing you as you take us along your work. Hope Bea is doing well. She must be taking care of the animals as you are busy taking care of the land. Please take care and hope to hear next video. Hugs to Fernando as we miss him too😻
Theo, as others have mentioned already, my heart too felt the heaviness you were feeling as you pushed on with what needed to be done. I kept saying to my husband "something is wrong with Theo, he isnt himself" I even shed a few tears for you as my concern grew by the moment. Where is Bee? Is she okay? Please let us know, we love you. We care and feel like family. Now I am more worried since there wasn't any video on Sunday the 24th!!!
WATER AND SILENCE IS GOLD.
This is so true 🙏
you are such a hard worker, you and Bee, im praying for you guys❤
Unintentional AMSR...loved hearing the natural sounds when you're working. Footsteps on gravel, dry earth, running water🤗☺ I hope you are both doing ok after recent events. xx
Totally dig this video!!! Might I suggest a trail cam on the goats and chickens, very calming only natures sounds. I could watch the rain on your pond or your creek. These days words are overrated. Nature is calming and silence is golden!!!😊
My heart hurts for both of you. I miss your narrative but can tell you need time to heal. My love is sent to both you and Bea and all of your animal family. Thank you for taking the time to add us into your day. Love from Sharon in the USA
You both are gracious, caring, creative and honorable humans. I’m proud to say I’m a subscriber and, like 99.9 percent of all your subscribers, will give you all the space you need to rebalance. Your gift is entertaining and enlightening us .. we so appreciate you for that!!!
Thank you for sharing - even when there is so much to do. Appreciate you allowing us to watch your journey on your amazing property.
It was heartbreaking watching Theo work in silence and having no sight of Bea either I’m so sad about off grid property fire and for whatever else it was the Theo didn’t want to discuss, I really feel for you both and everything that you’re having to deal with on top of the everyday stresses of daily life, stay strong and what has happened may never leave you but it will fade, I promise ❤
Blessings to you both. I think about you and Be often, with hopes that your tough times are bearable, and things will get better soon.🌺
Hey there, where is that joy and chatting we love about you and Bea? My prayers have been sent by air express so watch for them. Wishing I had some uplifting words on the tip of my tongue. Be safe, be strong. You are loved by so many.🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Theo! I understand and respect your silence. I'm praying for you both to recover from this hard moment. Don't worry about us, take care of yourselves and you come back as soon as you get stronger. Take care you both. May God bless you! Thank you immensely for this video. It's very nice to see you making improvements on the property.
Its a joy seeing your videos every week. So sorry for what happened to your original tiny house mindless vandalism! Hope Bea is ok and that you both recover from what happened as soon as possible.
Love & hugs from Australia🇦🇺 Please be so proud of your Miracle Mountain achievements! Trials & tribulations on life’s journey are just challenges & you both have been through so much! Theo you are incredible working so diligently & quietly which is unusual…I hope you are ok? 💙 Thanks you two for producing a Vlog when you might not feel like it! 💜
Loved this video format! I have no idea how you did it, but it was so interesting to watch you at work and hear the wind in the trees, the rain and hail, the sound of shovel meeting clay, of rocks shoring up rocks, of water flowing. Theo and Bee, you are two of the most inspiring people on the planet. Your vision; your dreams; your hard work; your commitment; your passion; your resilience. Please know there is one more soul whose life is profoundly enriched by your lives, even if our paths never cross in person. Wishing you continued success and abundant blessings. 💙💙💙
Hi theo and bee, hope all is well, really missing seeing you all. Please can you post something so we all know you are both ok . ❤
Such patience,
Such diligence, simuch resilience, such fortitude.
I am continually inspired!
Praying for both your strength and comfort for your wearinness during hardships ❤
Dear Theo and Bea. I know from your previous video that you have been having a tough time (again) ao I just wanted to say that I hope you are both OK and that things will get better for you soon. Much love to you both.xx
My heart goes out to you both Theo and Bee.
I pray for all the resilience in the world to find you.
Take care. We are all out here rooting for you! ❤️🥰🤗
Wonderful to see a video from you Theo!❤
I like the new format. Its ok we don't need a lot of explanations, we can clearly see what you're doing because of your great camera angles.
Its nice to be a silent spectator and let you go about doing your job uninterrupted.
Bee and Theo hang in there! You're stronger than you think!
I pray daily for you. God bless!🙏❤👍🥰
My heart breaks for the two of you. Seeing the pain and sadness on Theo’s face is heart wrenching. Please take care of yourselves, do what you need to do for you. Thank you for sharing this video. Hugs, prayers and much love to both of you.
We are really sorry about the trauma you've experienced and hope to see you back to your old self soon. Hang in there, it will get better over time. If you find yourself stuck, you might find therapy helpful. Take care & God bless your family.
I really hope you and Bee are getting the help you both need. Every trial we go through in life, in the passing of time, will make us stronger. Just remember to stay strong and motivated. We all love you both.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the lord bless and protect you and Bea restoring the water
I'm thinking of you both here in the USA. It is hard to see how much you both have gone through in the past few years and mainly this past year. Somehow, you always find a way to keep working through it. I understand that sometimes it's easier to just throw yourselves into work to get through rough times, but remember to take some time to take care of yourselves. We will patiently and wait until you both are ready to return to your happy selves in these videos. I wait every week for Sunday to see your new videos. You are both such hard workers and so supportive of each other. Thank you for sharing such beautiful and creative content.
So good to see you working Theo, & yes indeed Water is life. Take care & stay safe. Much love to you both❤
I have been concerned for you both. Checking every day for a new video. I've been looking at some of your earlier videos and they are so filled with the joy of your property and what you have achieved. I so hope you are really okay. Take care, thinking of you both.
Thank you I enjoyed coming along with you. You are such a wonderful worker. Blessings on you and Bea. Brings back memories of building dry stone walls when I terraced my back land. When I was way younger!! I loved my wee life style block of land. Hard work, Good memories. But once on my own, I bit the bullet and moved closer to my family.
So much hard work Theo, 2:28 you keep on pushing and making your miracle mountain a monumental achievement!
I enjoy all of your videos, and am grateful that you share your journey.
Ahhhhh Theo. My heart is with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Look forward and don’t look back. We are all here for you. 💕💕💕💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You have worked so hard installing the pipe work for you water system Theo. It's good to see you fighting your way back! My very best wishes to you both 💝💝💝
Steve Brown
From one Brummie to two others, look after yourselves, especially after all you have gone through over the last few months. Hoping things get better for you both as you deserve it, especially after allthe hard work you both do!!!!
You made my Sunday! Hope all is well!
Ace! Thanks
Many hugs ,prayers and well wishes dear sweet Bea and Theo. The journey is tough but you two can be tougher! Dig deep and know we are all rooting for you to come through the other side of this !
Your work ethic is second to none Theo. I miss your commentary . Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. I feel you’re still experiencing a lot of pain from your burdens which seems natural to me. As many have mentioned previously you
two have made us part of your lives. Your long distance friends are praying for you even though we have never met. Keep moving forward ❤
Theo your physical strength, determination and attention to detail is amazing and shows what can be accomplished. So proud of you and Bea for your success. Very enjoyable video.
Hi, Bee and Theo… thank you for the video. You are doing such a good job of working on the drainage. I’m impressed with your skill. My love to you both❤️❤️
What a great team! We understand that life is too hard at the moment so you have taken the pressure off yourselves by allowing us to see that you’re ok, but working hard to get back on top of everythng. We really appreciate that. Love and respect to you both.. 🌈🦋🍫🍫🍫🍫
Good job, Theo. God bless yall.
I appreciate that something is happening in your lives that contributed to this his silent video. The sadness in your face tells much. Just wanted you to know that it's the audio, which shows your beautiful personalities, that I find the most enjoyable. Prayers for you both.
Dearest Theo, after your last video when you said you had the worse night of your life and you wouldn't talk about it and then the fire I didn't think you could bare to turn the camera back on and continue to share your life with us. You know you are both loved so much by the community. You're a Brave man. This video speaks volumes about your amazing strength to keep on going in spite of so much loss. God Bless you and Bea. Beautiful video and so well shot and edited.❤❤❤
Well Theo now watched the whole of the video. Think you can give yourself a pat on the back. Good job those pipes are plastic!!!!!! Well done ❤
I miss hearing both your lovely voices. ❤ I’ve been worried about you guys. Tell Bee we love and miss her.
Hi Theo, I heard your plea! Thank you for your wonderful videos! You know, we who are on the other side of the world do care about you and Bee. Sometimes words are hard to put together and all I can say is Wow, or great video! I see your struggle. You are a good man. You are strong, intelligent, inventive and a very hard worker. You don’t give up easily. What you have accomplished there on Miracle Mountain is impressive. Is Bee ok? You guys take good care of yourselves! Love, from Nebraska, USA.
10 mins in and loving the sounds of your property ❤ Bliss 😌
Living through traumatic experiences, along with the daily struggles of life can be overwhelming. I found you guys a few months back thanks to the Newby's and have quickly fallen in love with you both, along with your wonderful animals. Thank you for sharing you lives with us - the good days and even the not so good. Take care of one another and know we are here to support!
So glad to see another of your videos. Thanks
🙏
Your stuck in a dark tunnel. You here sounds, then flickers of light( that is us and your loved1,s trying to be as supportive and understanding as possible). Then back to darkness and your beating heart is all you can hear ,as long as your heart keeps beating and you push forward even a millimetre at a time just like that precious water you and only you will find your way out. Both of you are truly loved . Take care of yourselves big man !!
My favorite Van life/homestead family. No one works harder than Bee and Theo.
I really appreciate the "raw content"! Life as it is, impressively caught by really wisely chosen perspectives, edited - again - with a very smooth style. Nearly to feel the sweat and backpain and thoughts running through the head!
Thanks a lot for managing sharing this with us and giving Bae the space to recover.
Just don't forget to take your time too and be proud of your achievements so far!
Honestly sending best wishes to all of your two- and four-legged family!
I’m a fan from the US. I’ve watched for a couple of years now and I am sending love and prayers to you both. You work so hard and it’s a lot to deal with. Hugs to all your lovely animals as well. ❤
It absolutely amazes me what you vloggers do to set a shot, to show us, safely in our homes, wherever around this world of ours.
Major kudos guys, and thank you 😉❣️. Stay safe ❤
It’s wonderful to see you both back. I know you have been through a very traumatic time and my heart goes out to you. But your love of your land and your animals will sustain you. You are both incredibly strong people and I look forward to all your future projects, but I. The meantime please take care of yourselves and be kind to yourselves. Much love 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My heart goes out to both of you as you recover from recent challenges. Please remember self care is also important. You are an inspiration to many people from all corners of the globe. I'm from Australia myself and look forward to your videos every week. Look after yourselves. Love and light.
As always, lovely to watch your video, you continue to have the absolute best music ( as well as content)! Looks like another big project in the works. I did miss your chatter and of course really miss the lovely Miss Bee! Hope the hail didn't damage tender plants and all the babies are well!
Theo please be careful with your back, that boulder must've been so heavy. Haven't stopped thinking about you both since your last Vlog and am hopeful that all will be well with you both. You've certainly been through some trying times. Love and best wishes to you both and hopefully the change of weather is making things a bit easier for you xxxxxx. Stay safe and take very special care of yourselves xxx
Stay strong. Always be there for each other. That looked like a hard graft, good planning getting ready for the rainy season. Prevention is key. Sorry you didn’t want to talk in the video. It may help love to you both ❤❤
Theo & Bea! I always look forward to your videos! The two of you are such hard workers & resilient! Love the kitties, goats & chickens! You both have a beautiful home & landscape! Sorry for all the challenges you’ve had to overcome! Prayers for you both! 🙏❤️😊
You both have been such an inspiration and a pleasure to watch, you've accomplished so much together, don't give up now, stay strong, and positive, you'll get through this. Sending love and positive vibes. XX
You're so adept with your little digger machine. How handy has that been. I enjoyed watching your efforts restoring water ways. You're progressing so well. Yes Water is Life. Cheers and God bless you both.
hi Theo thank you for updating us even at this difficult time,we are all with you,is ok not to explain,we understand,just take it easy and don't rush in finishing things,God blez❤
YOU’VE GOT THIS BEE & THEO!❤
you are truly very skilled ! I cannot imagine how hard it sure is to maneuver this big mechanical arm and shovel. You are even more skilled with that because you make it feel as it's as easy as using a spoon, which it is not. Absolutely impressive !
Rather have both your and Bee’s beautiful smile/faces. Miss her. Please take it easy. Sometimes we are tested beyond belief. But you both have proved you got it. Blessings and prayers.
I’m so pleased to see the rain on your mountain, the streams and waterfalls running with water.
If good wishes mean anything, you have mine. When I light my candles tonight, I will add you both to my thoughts. 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️
I understand you've had a rough time of it lately. Just a reminder that all of us are pulling for you and wish you the best. Great video, lots of progress.
Theo it is fantastic watching you working so hard but still need you to take care of your self. I just hope you still enjoying what you doing as much as we doing watch you such a caring guy
Working hard as usual, take care of yourselves.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Guys,
I really hope that you are both okay, the pair of you have really been through the worst nightmare recently, I just hope there is a better solution to your problems. I just wish you well and look after each other I’m sure you will, just don’t put yourselves under to much pressure. Have some chill time we can wait till you’re ready remember No Pressure! God bless you both.
I worry about you both after seeing how many things you've had to endure! Most of us who have watched your content for a while feel so close to you without having even met you. We hope the best for you! ❤
You two work sooo very hard. Prayers that you are both taking physical AND mental time outs. Stay safe, strong and healthy. Hugs from a great Grandmother.
I hope all’s well with you and your properties. Sometimes life is very challenging but remember, this too shall pass. Thanks so much for posting
We praying for you folks. 🙏
Hey Theo and Bea, wishing you all the peace and enjoyment in life that you deserve so much ❤
I am happy with the video. Silence is golden, and sometimes i need to be just quiet to.
Theo, you are certainly taking strain and I pray that it's just the fire at the off grid property that has taken a huge toll on you. We've missed Bea and are obviously all worried about you both. Please take care and put yourselves first - we can wait for videos.
So glad you care enough to restore the old water systems. It must be educational to seehow things were done hundreds of years ago.😊
Everyone seems to have said it. We all love watching your journey. Are grateful you have taken us along with you. We are all so concerned at the troubles you are experiencing. Please take care of yourselves! We will all be here…
I’m praying for the two of you. I know the fire and whatever else happened was a blow for you both. There are countless pieces of advice on here (all good), so there is no point repeating them. Just know that we love you and are wishing you the most perfect life you can imagine for yourselves.🤗❤️🐝
So much hard work! You two are extremely dedicated and have an amazing work ethic! Keeping you both in my prayers!
It‘s wonderful when a story is told by itself without saying any word! Love that…❤
Theo n Bea please stay strong, I love how you both overcome anything. Yes it's hard, yes it hurts, yes we all love you guy's ❤. Please let us know that your both ok❤❤❤
My best heartiest good wishes for you both.. never loose hope it’ll give you energy.. please do remember that nothing is forever.. live in today ❤
