After almost 4 months of van life in Mexico, we're nearing the border with Guatemala and getting ready for a new leg of van life in Central America. Limitations on our UK van have dictated a route we wouldn’t necessarily choose, and we have some decisions to make as we travel through a region o...
Van life in Mexico took an unexpected turn this week. We've been so lucky to have had a fairly uneventful start to our time here, minus the odd crazy road and tiny village. But our plans to spend the next few weeks on the coast take an abrupt turn.

Driving our camper van across the Americas has taken us to some incredible places, but this is a first for us - a nude beach! But this isn't just any nude beach... it's Zipolite, a bit of a name in Mexico and one that's going to give us a baptism of fire into the world of going au nat...
This week we’re diving back into van life in Mexico after a short break over Christmas and New Year. 2024 should shape up to be the biggest year of our lives, as this is the year we plan to finish the PAN AMERICAN highway - can you believe it?! We’re about halfway through this adventure and van life...
We're taking our UK campervan deep into the heart of Mexico and having spent a civilised week in San Miguel de Allende, enjoying all the bars, restaurants and street food the place can offer, we flip 180 and drive our van into the mountains of Michoacan, in search of one of nature's greate...
You'd think that after a few years of van life across international borders, we'd be getting better at this kind of thing! Maybe we're rusty after spending most of the last year in the US and Canada, but one thing is for sure - our entry into Mexico did not go to plan...

After 4 years of van life, we've rarely had mechanical problems, so we're probably a little overdue. Trying to iron out some persistent brake issues has been more difficult than expected, and when the people you trust mess it up, it's time to take matters into your own hands. We'...
For the past couple of weeks we've been trying to explore the Californian coast by van, but they don't make it easy. After literally driving around in circles last week and spending the GDP of a small nation on crab sandwiches, we took matters into our own hands and turned inland, in a big...
As we make our way back north towards the US border, we've found ourselves in one of the most beautiful bays in Baja, and one of the windiest! It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of new places, but there is another side to our life that we don't usually film. We've been ...

Even though we've crossed borders a few times now in our van, it's always a nerve wracking experience. The smoother the experience and the less hassle, the better! Crossing into Mexico is something we...
Van life in the desert... sounds warm, right? 😆 It's been a week of highs and lows as we continue to explore the incredible state of New Mexico, while battling the winter weather that gets us snowed out and defeated... twice!

From Louisiana to New Mexico in one fell swoop! After months of racing our van across the USA and trying to see everything we could en route, we've decided it's time to change how we do things. Rushing through to tick places off a list isn't making us happier travellers. It's mak...
For the first time ever we not only spent Christmas in the van, but we filmed every moment of it too. Despite waking up to sub-zero temperatures and frozen pipes, we attempted a full Christmas dinner, not forgetting home-made gravy, roasties and mulled wine! ✨

It's been a week of extremes. We woke up in the Everglades, stalked by alligators and getting very personal with these reptilian beasts. The wildlife of Florida puts on one final spectacle for us, before we hit the rain and cold weather on our journey north.

This is it!! As far south as we go on the eastern side of the States before we begin our long drive west. It's been getting hotter and hotter as we get closer to the tip of Florida, and it was about time we hit the city lights of Miami. We had visions of Miami being a crazy busy city, with lots...
This week we continue our journey south and reach the humid, swampy lands of Georgia. After a very busy time last week in South Carolina, we decide to change the pace and ditch the usual attractions, instead turning our wheels inland. We find some off road tracks, remote camps in the swamp and final...
We've made it to the swamps and alligators of the Deep South! We've come a long way from Nova Scotia, our point of landing for the American continent. Cotton fields fill our windows now and we're slowly catching up with the winter sun as the days get warmer and warmer. Congaree Nation...

It’s been almost 3 months since we crossed the Atlantic and arrived in Halifax, Canada. But this is the first week that we’ve tried to do van life in a big city. And not just any big city, but a big American city. After starting the week in the Halloween town of Salem, we make the drive to Boston an...

After doing van life in Europe for the past two years, in just a few days, we are shipping our camper van Sophia from the UK to Canada. Our plan is a rough one, but our main goal is to drive way down south, through the States and eventually, to Argentina. We have lots to...
Time is ticking as we make our final upgrades and repairs to get Sophia ready for van life in Canada. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference, and our upgrades include a light bar (for night driving on quiet, un-lit roads), a new B2B charger to increase our battery cha...
Hello! It's been a while, and we're so happy to be back to van life 💛 After leaving you in Germany over a month ago, we haven't done much except relax and spend quality time with family. The wheels are now in motion for our Pan American trip, starting in Canada in July. We have A LOT ...
The trip back home has officially begun! After leaving Greece last week, our first stop is Bulgaria, a country neither of us has visited before. Before we cross into Serbia, we discover what it's like to do van life in Bulgaria, from soaking in hot springs to finally taking our girl Sophia, all...
