Van Life
Blogs & resources
Converting a Van to live inside doesn't come without its challenges, however it is well worth it in the end. The freedom Van Life gives you is incredible! With our bright yellow van we've explored Europe in a way we never thought possible. It's so exciting rolling up to a new park-up, looking out at mountain views and really living our life to the max.
Through our blog we aim to show that Van Life is achievable. We share the costs of the lifestyle, how Mike works a 9-5 remotely from the van, our exact layout measurements and even what we think is the best off-grid toilet. Grab a cup of tea and delve into the world of Van Life below...
