Following my dreams
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…
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…
My route Santander to Cerdeira Check out my YouTube video https://youtu.be/fDlj4vTWuOE to see my Covid 19 Escape by ferry from Portsmouth to Santander and my first nights stay in the misty mountains, at Torio, just one hours drive from Santander. Driving through the stunning Picos de Europa mountains of Northern Spain reminded me so much…
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…

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…

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…
It’s now been nine months since I stepped out of my conditioned 9-5 life, feeling safe, but stuck in a life that did not fulfill me. So after travelling 13,000 miles in my van from England to Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain & Portugal I thought I would do an…
Nusa Dua has been created as a high end tourist resort around the long sandy beaches with waves perfect for surfing, especially for beginners like me. You enter this area through gates and it has beautifully manicured lawns, trees and designer roundabouts. I was staying in a cheap hotel just outside the gates! So needed…
I flew with Garuda airlines from London Heathrow on December 27th at 6.30am, which meant that I needed to travel to the airport the evening of Boxing Day. I dropped off the van at my friend’s farm, got a taxi to Gatwick airport and then got the National Express coach to Heathrow arriving at 10.20pm….
