We're Mads and Dan, a British/Australian couple with a love for travelling this world. We met whilst backpacking in Colombia and have travelled as much as possible ever since.
In 2020, with international borders closed, we fell in love with van life and travelled Australia in Rio, our self-converted Renault Master. Since the world opened up again, we have been travelling as much as possible.

DIY TROOPY BUILD EP. 1 | Water Tank, Flooring & Framework | + Alu Cab Roof Tent Conversion
And so the Troopy build begins!
At the end of last year, we bought a 2023 Toyota Landcruiser Troop Carrier. After a few weeks scooting up and down the east coast of Australia, we returned back to the UK and sent the Troopy off to get some major surgery - an Alu Cab roof top tent conversion.
Dan came home for a couple of weeks in June so was finally able to begin the build.
We are so excited to begin this build and create a new home on wheels in the ultimate Australian touring car. Lessssgo!

So incredible
Guys u should use the mic, otherwise the quality of sound is not good! But the vibes an amazing!
Aquí viéndolos, pero no entiendo inglés. Deberían poner subtítulos en español. Pero, es sin ofender, 😂😂😂. Saludos , soy de Guatemala.
Congrats!!!! One question for you guys!! How would you compared the first day hike with the 2nd one in terms of difficulty ? We are planning to make the first one in a 4x4 to have enough gas to make the fuego hike and the Acatenango summit the next day. Thoughts?
Thank you!! Exciting that you are planning to do it! The summit to Acatenango from base camp is steeper but for a much shorter period of time. I would recommend hiking to base camp, as you can then gage your ability to do Fuego and the summit hikes which are much more challenging (it's cold, you have to go at a fastee pace because of the sunset/darkness, you can't turn back without the whole group having to wait for you, etc). For example, our company wouldn't let people who struggled on the base camp hike do the Fuego hike. That said, we didn't do it as Dan has asthma so can't give you a definitive answer. Hope you have a great time, it's awesome.
@@TranquilaTravels Thanks for sharing!!! Let's see how that goes!!!
I'm considering the same option! can you please let me know how it went with you?
Wow!! That is something else. Too many cool bits to say what I like best 😂
Thanks!!
7:24 ... mustache compliments! That's funny...I was with fridnds in Istanbul in 2019 and I was sporting (aka affecting) a pencil mustache and was surprised at the compliments I got! 🤣
Haha it's definitely a crowd pleaser!
Really interesting. Thanks. I would have put sound deadening on the wheel arches for sure. Even though they will be covered. Also, would never have put the wooden floor straight onto the vehicle metal just because there is no give for vibration or movement. The insulation is not only about the heat/cold, but also acts as absorption for vibration of the car. Less chance of rattling when moving, as well as prolonging the life of the build on top (joints, seals etc). Good to see though, how different people do their builds. Look forward to the next video.
Sound deadening on the wheel arches is a good suggestion, I’ll definitely consider that. Thanks for the positive feedback!
Great video, thank you 🤍
Glad you liked it!
interested in how you managed to get the new poptop latches. Our conversion was done by an Ironman dealer in June and we ended up with the old latches. (both of which have broken already)
Ivan from Peak Off-road has been using the new latches since Jan this year. He made a video on his RUclips channel on Jan 1st explaining why they’ve stopped using the old ones. I think you can buy the new latches from him. I’ll leave the website here. Ivan is super useful with any Alu-Cab stuff. I had a great experience going through his shop. www.peakoffroad.com.au
We just did some blackout fabric with magnets in to clip onto the metal around the windows. Works well. Awesome setup!
thanks! Yeh that's a great idea - we've seen that around and looks like it works a treat 🙌
Yayyyyyy guys!!! Can’t wait to follow along on your next adventure! Can’t wait to see you guys when you get over to the West Coast. Keep the vids coming! We love them 😊
Us too! We finally need to see for ourselves if West really is best. Thank you!! Love to all 3 of you 🌼💛
Yeeehawww the new adventuremobile
🤠
Exciting stuff guys! Guessing you’ll be spending a fair chunk of time over here on the west side then!? 😁 can’t wait to catch up again 👍🏼 also… the troopy needs more stickers 😆
So exciting!! Absolutely stoked for a bigggg WA trip next year. We'll defo let you know when we are planning to head west and would love to see you both and meet Daisy!! 🥰 Hahahah he does look a bit bare without any...
Layla is the star of this build 🤪
The best cameo 🥰
What a lovely conversion. I’m thinking of getting a bigger van next year, I need all the storage space 😅 this has given me lots of ideas! 💡
Thank you! Good luck with your build 😁
Thanks for showing this place, I've never seen it but it looks promising
Highly recommend El Paredón!
Land of peace some way, land of harassment to squeeze every penny out of you.
I'm flying out to Marrakesh tomorrow
only good vibes
🤙🤙
I miss my city from London 🇲🇦 ♥️🇬🇧
It is a beautiful place!
Las playas de Escuintla tienen bastante turismo, execelente video 👌
Gracias!
Morocco ❤
Underrated!! Thanks for this video 🇦🇱🤯
Glad you liked it! 🙌🙌🙌
You did not mentioned how long was the car drive to the beach! and how much it cost. Details are crucial for backpackers. WTF
It’s probably a 3 hour drive from Guatemala City .. cost depends on how you get there, if it’s a chicken bus to Pt San Jose way cheaper but dangerous as those buses drive recklessly.. best to get a shuttle
well done, good video
Thanks!
Did the Lancha take you straight to the hotel?
Yes it did!
I’m Guatemalan I have never been there . I will be traveling in June and will definitely be going to cervecería 14 beautiful place thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy it!! 🙌🙌
such a dream to visit these spots one day! wonderful 😍

Can I ask if there was anywhere major closed or any streets shut off following the earthquake? We are going at the end of Jan and just wondering if you need to allow any extra time for getting anywhere due to any rebuilding, or anything else to know..
Hey! The damage in Marrakech was very limited in comparison to the Atlas Mountains region, which was badly hit. Our trip wasn't impacted at all, except for the roof terrace of our Riad being damaged. No tourist attractions were closed. We saw a bit of rubble down side streets, but that's about it. Would strongly encourage you to go!
Going up in February with the same company, can't wait. Only thing that wory me is the food since I really try to avoid carbs.
Have the best time! The food was delicious and we would strongly encourage that you'll need the carbs with all the exercise and the altitude. If not, just pack your own food 👍
which month did you go, why are there nobody on the beach besides y'all? watching sunrise lol Is it less touristy there than the lake? I'm trying to figure out my itin
We were there end of April! It's defo a lot less touristy than the lake!
Wow, love your vlogs! We watched your whole series! Great quaility, great moments, beautiful, and loved the banter. Yall are too cute. My girlfriend and I are going to book a trip in March! Thank you so much!
So glad you enjoyed them - thank you! Have a great trip!!
Nice video guys - hiking Acatenango next week with the same company and this video helped us visualize what to expect. Cheers!
Amazing!! Enjoy the hike 🙌
Very nice! Did you visit after the earthquake?
Yes about 6 weeks after
