Portugal
Ben Fogle journeys to the mountains of central Portugal to live with 39-year-old Alex, a British man who traded in his lucrative retail career for his own mountainside hideaway. He learns how Alex survived with no heating, electricity or water, and is now turning centuries-old buildings into his perfect farm home.

Ireland
Ben ventures to the Emerald Isle to visit Georg and Bettina, a couple from Austria and Germany who made the Irish wilderness their home nearly 40 years ago. He uncovers what drove them to leave their old lives in Europe, and learns how they saw life and beauty in the middle of a desolate bog. Ben experiences how they have transformed an infertile, barren site into their very own nature retreat, building an off-grid home and establishing a relationship with the natural world around them.

Ben ventures to the lesser-known Greek island of Andros to visit Sandy, founder of a remote animal shelter perched on the slopes of the island's highest peak. He embraces sharing a home with 25 dogs, eight donkeys, a horse, a mule and more than 20 cats. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, he also helps to feed, groom, walk and clean up after the multitude of animals that roam free around the land and a 300-year-old house.
