How is full time van life for slightly older people? I think we're coping as we enter Asturias and Galicia in Northern Spain. Just how easy is it? Asturias, in northern Spain can be likened to Ireland, or so they say. It gets a bit wet and it's very green. We have been so fortunate and had nothing but sunshine. The coast is incredible. With it's jagged rocks and fierce waves, it's a haven for surfers and we have met lots of them. As we settle into full time van life, we are l

We are learning to cope with little problems before they become big ones On the 6th October, we left the UK and set off for a whole new life, living in the motorhome in Europe. After an amazing two-night crossing from Portsmouth to Santander, we arrived to a gloomy northern Spain. The good news is though, the fog lifted, the rain stopped and the sun came out, just as we arrived at our first destination. Leaving the port of Santander was a bit of a nightmare thanks to an inpro

Check out our walk through video here Full time van life in Europe is going to be so much fun. Well, we took the plunge and swapped our Autosleepers Kingham for a new, bigger motorhome. The Adria Compact Supreme DL is truly amazing and will make van life so much more comfortable. The van is 1m longer than the last one and has a nicer bed arrangement, a lovely lounge/office area and a huge storage garage. On the 7th October we will take the ferry to Santander in Spain to begin

At the end of our Isle of Skye and Highlands tour we spent four days at the Motorhome Show in Shepton Mallet. There was so much to do and thousands of motorhomes and campervans on site.

We arrived in Blackpool where the council really do look after campervans. With lots of special parking that includes overnight, it's a great option and a reasonable price.

Well, we did it. We have finally completed our tour of the Scottish Highlands, including the famous NC500. We've done over 1,500 miles in total on this trip and it's been amazing. It's been a great first step into full time van life. It's been three weeks and an amazing test of everything including the van and our patience. See our video here. We're not done yet though. From here we are travelling south to the lake district then Blackpool and Liverpool before finishing at the

We have just a few weeks left now before we leave the UK for full time van life and the adventure of a lifetime. We have spent the last few weeks making short trips around the south of England and getting used to the van. Just before we leave for Spain, we thought we'd squeeze in another trip, another tick off our bucket list. The NC500 is a well known trip around the Highlands of Scotland and we've never been higher than Edinburgh before. We're all loaded up ready to go and
