Shift Work, Life, Travel | Everyday Living In A Motorhome UK | LORRY LIFE

Feels a long time no see... we've taken a break from socials for ourselves, plus work has been flat out... 84hours in one week, swinging 12hr night to day shifts has been crazy - HELL, we're not afraid of hard work and yes being outdoorsy people, this doesn't fill our soul, but does get those coins piled up faster ready for a well earned trip 🗺
This vid gives you a little insight into what life for us has looked like recently in the UK, plus one way we fund our full-time travel lifestyle - we had no house to sell or rent out and zero savings, theres no secret, we work damn hard with a number of streams 🤑
Take it easy folks - martin and kate ✌️

HOW WE FOUND OURSELVES HERE:
🗺 We sold it all and hit the road back in 2017 - handing the keys back to our rented home + leaving with zero saving....we totally fell in love with the travelling lifestyle and have been sharing our travels on Facebook - after being asked numerous times, so we delivered + are now creating vids to give everyone an insight into our life on the road!
So far we've adventured 27 countries, plus 4 greek islands in our vans alone, rescued 2 puppies and raised them on the road - Cooper from Greece and Leni from Turkiye, we've lived in 3 different vans, inc our self built, off grid 4x4 and now our 7.5 ton truck... lifes for living folks and today is for life!
We hope you enjoy + are super glad you've joined us, welcome aboard 🏴‍☠️

Great update guys. We get the work hard play hard philosophy. 8 months of work for 4 off for us. It's hard when you do a monster week.
How big is Leni! She's massive 😍 xx

[@VanJourney]

Leni’s at around 55kg now, just had a growth spurt so leaned out… 10mths old with no idea of her size 🫶🤪

Good update Martin. Can see and feel the effort going into re filling your pot . Not easy and quite the opposite in terms of your travel videos when we see you all in a relaxed state. Full marks for effort and don't forget the rewards. Currently in Corfu myself and then back to the grind. Been beautiful here. Not as hot as other summers but nice enough. Take care !

[@VanJourney]

It’s hard work but it will be worth it once it’s done 👍
We feel people need to see both sides, it’s not 1 big holiday unfortunately🤣
Hope you enjoy/ed your time in Corfu?
Corfu will always have a special place in our hearts.
Take care.

Hi Martin, I know exactly that routine from when I use to do 4 on 4 off shifts at local airport. Then just have a few hours sleep when I got in to adjust the body clock. I did treat myself to a McD's breakfast on the way home after that final night 😀. It has to be done so you can enjoy the later pleasures. Keep it up mate and just think about the summer to come.

This is always the hard bit, never thought night shift would be on the cards again, esp in the van, hey the coins are coming in 👍
