  • Further explanation of why and how we are approaching ‘van life’ our self-imposed and exciting challenge to live in our Dreamer D55 campervan. Showing you our all-important storage unit and explaining how this is integral to the initial and indeed long-term success of the plan. Shedding a third of our belongings over these past weeks and even selling our main car on Ton’s birthday.

    I' ve had a nomadic life . Born there, lived here and there. I'm taking some pension now. I miss the travel, but can I just say.... UK is best country in the world, so while thinking about which campervan to buy, I won't be going EU , North Africa. Plenty enough sunshine in UK. But what about a postal address if I sold up , essential, so thats not going to happen. Also, I love my chimney and solid fuel stove in winter. So I I'll just have to be a part timer and store all my 'stuff' in my house. Enjoy - and good luck, have a ton of fun.

    Winker was me as well, it’s an age thing I suspect.

    Life's short so go for it! Is all I can say. I am definitely not bragging, but my wife's parents left us their house, both sadly passed away. So while it is nice to have two places, their house needed to be emptied and eventually some retouching to be done. To be ready to be rented out. So I know about getting rid of stuff and trying not to be too sentimental. That's the difficult bit. It has been 2 years already! Dropping everything and taking off in a campervan sounds like a very good idea right now. 😊 Maybe one day... Meanwhile go ahead and enjoy life out on the road. 👍🏻

      Thank you! We're very excited! Shedding unnecessary stuff and simplifying our lives is feeling incredibly liberating already. We've yet to see if this is going to work for us, who knows? But if you don't try... :)

    Are you continuing to work ?

      Thanks for the comment Elaine. We both work and will continue to do so. We are able to work remotely to an extent which makes this far more a feasible idea [for us anyway].
