Wow that looks lovely! Much cosier than many a flat.

turned it into a wardrobe after 2 weeks.
A much better use of space anyway!

an open-ended journey with a book to write.
I am quite envious of this. Sounds like the start of a great experience.
In terms of figuring out which van is right for you I would avoid rushing into anything. I spent quite a while "shopping" around. I was quite surprised with how many things I thought were an absolute must to begin with turned out to be unnecesary and how many things I hadn't considered are now indispensable to me. Some things you just don't know unless you really spend some time in a certain model. I used to turn to sites like this one https://www.campanda.com/ that rent vans for hire to try and get a feel for as many as possible. Was a great help to me.
I have travelled alone with my dog quite a lot too and was very nervous about leaving him alone in the car. He is so trusting he would go along with anyone if they stroked him. I did eventually get a deadbolt for my van. It just gave me a little more peace of mind. I still avoid leaving him alone for too long though. Can't bear the thought of him waiting for me to come home!
Good luck with your journey and your book!

I wouldn't worry about the Schengen agreement. I don't think it will affect you really.
Perhaps consider going to a slightly warmer country during the winter months, just avoid Germany and anything east of it during the cold time of the year as they are freezing!

I wouldn't take the bars as an indication of the countries being any more dangerous.

Yes please do share. How exciting to still be at the beginning of your van journey!

Fill a load of old socks with cat litter... or salt, youll need to replace them every month or 2 but youll be amazed how well it works!
This sounds intriguing. Will definitely give it a try as I struggle with condensation too!

I agree. Just go abroad and I am sure you will find everyone to be very friendly and welcoming. And if not, you'll be back before you know it!
