    About us:
    We're Jack and Jo, and that hairy, scruffy little guy is Frank our adventure dog. Since 2020 we've been living and working from our tiny home on wheels, as we seek an alternative way of living. We sold our flat in London to live an alternative lifestyle. Quitting city life for Van Life, and we haven't looked back.
    Our Story:
    In September 2020, we sold our flat in London in search of an alternative way of life. We bought a van. Had it converted into an adventure van/come office. Picked up a furry co-pilot - our border terrier adventure dog Frank, and set-out on the road.
    We haven't looked back since.

    Nice to relive our memories of a wonderful trip to Mull, Iona and Staffa through your excellent video. Fidden campsite is simply the best. We also did not manage to get much of a sight of otters, but then we went on to Strontian and the Ardnamurchan peninsual, and got a fantastic experience with otters at the wildlife hide on Loch Sunart.

    Tiny home on wheels? That's huge. We are off to Mull next week (mid October) in our 5m campervan. Lovely dog.

    It makes you wonder about those early missionaries. How are we going to spread the word to the people of Scotland? I know, we'll camp out on a remote island, off the coast of a remote island, off the coast of the country we're trying to convert!

    My list of thoughts and questions:
    1. Can Frank be a hitchhiker? Does he have thumbs?
    2. Did the cafe do vegan AND gluten free cake?
    3. Do you always have to have cash on you to pay for the camp spots?
    4. Who knew there would be dolphins and puffins here?!
    5. Please trademark Frank having a 'poo with a view'
    6. It looks like it got sunnier towards the end, was it warm? You were still wearing coats!
    7. Will you ever see Otters?? We shall see!

    • @TheseWildJourneys
      @TheseWildJourneys  Před rokem +1

      Haha so many questions!
      1. Absolutely, just sticks a paw out!
      2. Gluten may have been included, but Jo is now back off the gluten 🤣
      3. Cash is key on the Hebrides! Well, just for the donation boxes
      4. And Eagles, whales and sharks!
      5. 😂 Maybe!
      6. Still a bit chilly, but if you watch the next few, we get a lot warmer!
      7. 👀👀!

      @TheseWildJourneys  Před 2 lety

      Really easy, we were surprised! There's a great pub in Tobermory that did the most incredible pie that we didn't include 🤤! Our best tip is to download Happy Cow, then we research ahead!
      But we forgot how easy it is to be vegan in the UK and Scotland!
