No Hungry Kids GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/cb723a0bc I walked the castle walls of Obidos today. Nobody warned me how sketchy it actually is up there. No railings. Narrow ledges. A long way down.And I have a fear of heights now that I never had before Everly was born.New episode every day. If you're new here start with Day 1 — it all makes more sense from the beginning. Day 1: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOAThis is Day 6 of 365 days of unfiltered daily vlog content and today the castle walls of Obidos, Portugal gave us everything — the fear, the breathlessness, the moments where I genuinely had to stop and catch my breath, and views so impossibly beautiful they made every sketchy step completely worth it.I talk about something today that I don't think gets said enough. How having a child changes you in ways nobody prepares you for. Not just the obvious things. The quiet things. Like suddenly being scared of heights when you never were before. Like seeing a view from a 900 year old castle wall and feeling grateful that people watch our content and that gratitude funds a life that brings us to places like this.We also talk about what we've learned here in Obidos. The history, the culture, the things you only find out when you actually walk the streets and talk to people rather than reading about it online.Magical moments. A few times I ran out of breath. And a view that stopped everything.This is why we do this.We're Frankie and Alex.

Yesterday I said something on camera I've never said out loud before. Today Alex responded in a way I wasn't ready for.Inflatable Bed Rail Link - https://geni.us/im7hdR9We're inside the walls of Obidos, Portugal today — a medieval castle town where people actually still live, eat, and walk cobblestone streets that are over 900 years old. We're staying in a 4 star hotel built into the castle walls and it is as surreal as it sounds.But the castle isn't what today is really about.Today is about what Alex said in the car on the way here. About my childhood. About my brother and sister. About how a family can go through hard things and still come out on the right side — because love was never the thing that was missing.We also talk about Everly's first real picnic on the side of the road in Portugal. What was supposed to be a simple stop turned into one of those moments you don't plan and can't recreate. A wildlife spotting, a playground, a toddler experiencing something for the very first time. The kind of moment that reminds you exactly why you chose this life.We wrap Day 5 feeling genuinely thankful.

In this episode, we share the behind-the-scenes story of how we secured our very first house sit, what the experience actually involves day-to-day, and the honest expectations anyone should have before applying.We break down the practical steps that made the process smoother—from creating a profile that homeowners trust, to communicating clearly, to setting yourself up for a successful stay. If you've ever wondered whether house sitting could be a realistic, affordable way to travel more often—or even full time—this conversation is packed with real-world insight from our first attempt.This isn't the end of van life for our family—it's an evolution. We're exploring how combining house sitting with our mobile lifestyle could open the door to seeing more countries together while still keeping the freedom we love.Support us HereVenmo FnavanlifePatreon www.patreon.com/fnavanlifeOther social mediaFacebook www.facebook.com/fnalifeInstagram www.instagram.com/fnalife
