Van Life is Over... For Now.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make this year one to remember. It's the year our plans fell through, it's the year we experienced some of the worse burnout and exhaustion we've ever felt. But it's the year we renovated Sophia to become the home of our dreams, the year we felt the freedom of the road (truly) for the first time since 2019. We're so excited to see what 2022 brings. A big fat Merry Christmas to all of you, and an even happier new year 🎊 ✨
Chesca, Ben, River & Scout xx 🐶 🐶

We're Chesca and Ben and River (🐶 ) and we usually live 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.
