After spending the first half of 2021 re-building our home on wheels, this is the week we've been dreaming of - van life can truly begin again! Travelling during a pandemic comes with it's own set of challenges, never mind that this is our first time leaving the UK after Brexit took effect! Here's to a new chapter of adventures, life on the road and our first 48 hours in France! ????????

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.
