We’ve had great fun challenging ourselves to build an even tinier house and create a comfortable, rustic camper conversion in a VW Transporter T5… Our T5, Bluebell, came second hand from a pet shop supplies delivery company. We wanted to give her a whole new lease of life as a beautiful adventure mobile through a Wild Van Conversion. We started […]

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 […]
We are very pleased to share a film made by André Baldes about us, our van and our adventure. It’s a short documentary that shows what life is like in our home on wheels and we talk about what motivated us to choose this lifestyle. The film was shot during our visit to Musicas do Mundo in Sines, Portugal back […]
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.

This partially excavated Roman city near Meknes holds a treasure trove of ancient discoveries dating back to the 3rd century BC. Our travels through Morocco so far have been roughly following a well trodden tourist route set out in our Lonely Planet book. Going from Tangier down through the Atlas mountain range then back along the coast, stopping off at […]
We found the perfect urban wild-camping spot in Parc de Montjuïc and parked for free, Just 4km from Barcelona’s city centre. EDIT 01/10/2018: Please be aware, some travellers have reported van break-ins on Carrer del Polvori. Whilst this is a convenient free spot to stay it seems that it might not be the safest so if you choose to stay here […]
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 […]
