The End of VAN LIFE In TURKEY (a difficult decision)
We had grand plans for our Turkey finale - we wanted to end our 6 months here with a trip to Ephesus and Istanbul, going out on a high. But the stars just didn't align for us. We have had an incredible time in this country, but new adventures await. Onwards to Greece!

We're Chesca and Ben and River (🐶 ) and we travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After a year of travelling Europe, from Spain and Portugal to the island of Sicily, the pandemic brought us back home to the UK. Along with a secret project! We spent the winter re-building Sophia into a more sturdy overlanding rig, ready to take us across Africa - our next challenge. However, it's a trip we've now had to postpone. But when the wind changes - adjust your sails! We're now off on an Eastern voyage across to Greece, Turkey & beyond. I hope you enjoy this new adventure as we overland our way East.
