With this wonderful, warmer weather we’re making huge progress on our sprinter van build! The furniture is all framed out, our tiles are *almost* done and it’s time to get our kitchen looking like a kitchen again. This time we’re going for something different to the first van build, and extending it to an L-shape, with a brand new hob and sink. Already It’s making a huge difference to the space and it’s the BEST feeling seeing it all come together after a pretty cold winter van build.

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'd been planning! We plan to drive our tiny home on wheels all the way from Cornwall, UK to Cape Town, South Africa. Starting in late 2021, we first need to make some major upgrades to Sophia, stripping her right back to the insulation and giving her some beefy upgrades. Join us on our journey as we turn Sophia into an overlanding rig, ready to tackle whatever Africa can throw at us.
