As life under lockdown becomes the new norm, thoughts of driving across borders, exploring foreign cities and soaking up the freedom of life on the road can feel like an all too distant memory. It may be some time before the adventures can continue in real life but we can still dream and escape to exciting new places through the […]

Our van life adventure started four years ago when we gave up our house and moved into our van full-time, taking on a nomadic way of life. When we first moved in to our van we had no idea where it would lead, we just knew we wanted something different from the routine nine to five; spending most of our […]
We left Gorlitz in Germany and headed south for the Czech Replublic… One of the things we love about van life is how you can temporarily move to a place based purely on your mood at the time…if we feel like finding some peace and quiet we can drive out to a woodland or park up on the edge of […]
For a few days we lived on the edge of Berlin’s former military airfield and explored the amazing culture and history of the city… We first visited Berlin with Jess & Freddy for New Years Eve in 2016 (read more in our previous post here). We are all quite smitten with the city, admiring its progressive political policies on housing […]
We were in need of an adventure and a break from our everyday routines so we set off for Europe in our self-converted camper. We finished converting a full-time live in motorhome for Dee’s sister Jess and her partner Freddy last year and in June they packed up and set off on the adventure of a lifetime, travelling all across […]

Here’s what we got up to on the last leg of our journey and a bit of an explanation for our months of radio silence… At the start of this year we decided to put a pause on travelling and spend some time on a new project. Seven months later (somehow…) and we’re now settled back in to UK van […]
Driving through Morocco in our self-built motorhome was an experience we’ll never forget and after learning a few important lessons, we’d love to go back and do it again one day… Even though we’d done a lot of reading up before visiting Morocco, nothing can fully prepare you for this unpredictable country. That’s the main thing we learnt about visiting […]
One day we were feeding wild monkeys in the snow, the next we were riding camels through the hot dry desert Our journey through Morocco so far has been full of contrasts, going from busy built up towns with European supermarkets and McDonald’s to isolated mountain villages inhabited only by nomads and donkeys and then on to the Sahara Desert.
