      My wife and I just both quit our jobs, sold our house and are now travelling around Europe with our 8 month old daughter for 6+ months in a 22 year old motorhome we bought off ebay. You know what, we have never been happier. It's much nicer to be free than be a sheep. In my opinion anyway.

    When I use to drive all over the country as a van driver, I use to so enjoy pulling up at a lay-by or rest area. Get the pan out and have some eggs or sausages for a sandwich. Then continue on my journey...I still drive a van for work, but don't get time to stop and start cooking due to the nature of my job..

    I bought an old Ford Lazer ( little bigger than a Fiesta) when in NZ in 1997. Lived in it , went everywhere in it. Halfway up mountains and along dried up riverbeds. Had to tie part of the carb on with string in Queenstown and drive into a ditch to change the wheel because didnt have a jack. Great times...miss that old motor.

    • @timfagan816

      Yeah boi, the old new zealand for lazer, hell of a car, they just don't die! I've just got back from queenstown my self, now up in Dunedin for a little bit, dont have a lazer though, i got a Toyota caldina instead, just cos it had the roof rails built in, and the ready made factory, floor dividers, under the boot carpet!

    I Lived in Australia for a long time. Working and travelling but never got to see any of it because of my job. (Touring Chef and Roadie) I then ended up static in Tasmania for 10 years before getting a real hankering for the road again. I bought a van and set off with my two dogs for three months.. three years later I was still going, dogs n all. We saw the whole country and then some. By the time I sold my van to come back to the UK I had a full off grid home with a gourmet kitchen in the back.. it's an evolution mate.. There's always a way to make it 'better' Watching your evolution from Vanlifer to Road Warrior is giving me itchy feet again.
    Thanks for that.
