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 […]
Camping
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 […]
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.

We went in search of Southern Spain’s mysterious hippie community and discovered a way of life that was different to anything we’d experienced before… Beneficio is a community of people from all over the world living in La Alpujarra mountain range. There’s so much to say about this enchanting place that it’s difficult to describe in a blog post, it […]
We traveled southern Spain with Jay & Renée who are in the middle of converting their Portuguese registered 1993 Nissan Trade van. Our approach to building a motorhome and taking it travelling was very much slow and cautious. We took our time getting everything about the build perfect and saving up a target amount of money before even thinking about setting off on […]
We spent 10 weeks traveling through Portugal in our self-build motorhome We drove through Portugal from north to south, trying to visit as many places as possible and stopping off at a few music festivals and visiting family along the way. We stayed in cities and out in the countryside but spent most of our time along the beautiful coastline. Here […]
We might not have a house but it doesn’t stop us from making delicious home-cooked meals. We got our first taste of domestic bliss when we moved into a flat together in 2009 whilst studying. Since then we’ve moved from flat to house, to flat and to another house again, going from playing at grown ups to eventually becoming the […]
