We are Helen and Martin, and after leaving England behind to build a new life in Ireland, our journey is taking another unexpected turn.

We’re now searching for a derelict Irish farmhouse to restore ourselves and turn into a more off-grid, bill-free home — learning everything as we go and sharing the reality of the whole adventure with you.

From viewing forgotten old properties and taking on DIY renovation projects, to growing our own food, becoming more self-sufficient and exploring the beautiful corners of Ireland in our campervan, Finding My Place is about creating a life with a little more freedom, adventure and purpose.

If you love old Irish houses, renovation, off-grid living, self-sufficiency, rural Ireland or simply watching two people attempt things they’ve never done before… you’re in the right place.

We’re still finding our place — maybe you are too. 🇮🇪🏡🌱
