“This channel is so inspiring. It's proof that anything is possible with enough imagination, hard work, ambition & tenacity. From on-the-fly DIY projects to master tradesmen & artists at the top of their crafts, the amount of creativity & skill on display is absolutely incredible. Well done to everyone who has contributed to the Portugal & Zimbawe homesteads so far.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Can't wait to see what's next for both properties!”

“Having watched your journey since you first opened the Green Door and travelled in your caravan, it has been incredible to see how much your vision has grown. Now, watching you build and revive two completely different homesteads—in Portugal and Zimbabwe—has us well and truly spoiled for choice! The sheer grit, creativity, and boundless energy you bring to every project as a young family is remarkable. Even when facing the raw, unfiltered challenges of managing two distinct properties across the world, your authenticity, optimism, and joy shine through every video. Thank you for continuing to bring us along for the ride and sharing every step of this amazing adventure with us. Keep working your magic—we can’t wait to see what you tackle next! 🚜✨”

“I don't know which of the two locations I love the most. But I am looking forward to seeing more progress in Portugal, but seeing the magic that Zimbabwe is going to become. With all the talented artists you found to work with you out there.”

In a world that can be quite unstable your family brings us smiles and joy and reinforces us with how wonderful humanity really is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Many hugs! ❤”

“I'm 100% on board with that idea. We have never visited Portugal, but watching your channel has made us fall in love with the country, and it's become our dream to retire there someday. We would be truly honored to visit and meet you both. It would be an incredible opportunity to experience Portugal through the eyes of people who have inspired us so much.”

“Limestone tiles. More neutral, more refined and it'll make the space feel bigger and brighter. You never know what the future holds so I'd also consider what a potential future buyer of your home would prefer.”
