Off-Grid in the Azores, Trip #2 (PART 1) - UNEXPECTED nightmare | starting tiny home renovations

with hopes of starting our off-grid home renovation, we take you to our remote tiny home in this vlog, 1,500 miles away in the Azores, Sao Miguel. but quickly find ourselves in a genuinely terrifying situation, after only being on the island for a few hours. we take you along to see how extreme weather unexpectedly cause pure chaos in our Portuguese paradise, yet also showing you the pros and cons of slow living in a challenging yet incredible environment.

this is the first part of two videos taking you on our second ever trip to our tiny home, with part 2 to be released next week.

starting with our epic journey from london to sao miguel, we show you how you can travel to the island and what it's like to take public transport when you get there. see how we live, relax, eat and work at our off-grid tiny home, day and night. explore our local town, see the incredible christmas decorations and of course, we show you the effects of these powerful landslides on life in the azores.

we also begin some home improvements by decorating our veranda, adding extra lighting and we start work on transforming our bedroom. the roof also needs some attention so Jez puts some time into finding the source of some leaks. it's a real variety this time, so enjoy the episode!

all music by me, you can find more on my soundcloud:   / laurabeckmusic
