My book – Let Go Fly Free
I am excited to announce that my book is available to buy globally on Amazon books as a paperback and Amazon kindle as an ebook. The ebook is full of over one hundred high quality images and does earn me a little more income than the paperback. For anyone who buys either and would like…
Van Life 2nd Anniversary
What a difference a year makes. After a whole year of travel in the van in 2019 to ten countries across Scandanavia and Europe and a winter of two months in Bali, I found myself stuck in the U.K. under lockdown for my first year van life anniversary. Obviously, not where I had been planning…
Happy Valentines – Love Yourself More
One of the main reasons I chose to travel was to give myself quality time, to rediscover and find a love of myself. As I would be out in natures elements a lot I decided it was about time I really started to look after my skin. So I did a lot of research to…
Let Go, Fly Free

Vanlife Anniversary
Wow, I can’t believe that it is one year ago today that Lucy, my van, and I left West Sussex to experience a full and happy life, living life to its fullest potential. It’s been so much more than I could ever have dreamed it would be. I have learnt so much about myself along…

Coronavirus and Vanlife
So what a pickle we all find ourselves in. Life has taken a very unexpected turn for all of us and for our own sanity all we can do is “Love what is”. If we don’t accept the reality and go with the flow of what life is giving us right now we will only…
Bali Jungle Trek & Camping
Buyan Lake Canoeing The trip started as a fairly steep, at times slippery, twenty minute trek down to the lakeside. Waiting for us on arrival was a traditional Balinese fishing canoe and two fishermen adept at canoeing, so we could help as little or as much as we liked. We explored the lakeside and glided…
