Living and travelling in a van

The best way to get around in Spain

May 6, 2014 by Mike 3 Comments

One of my favourite things about Spain is how so many people use roller blades and skateboards to get around. There are so many long stretches of nice tarmac along the coast and even in the biggest cities – Seville, Valencia and Madrid have so much space. Personal wheels – this is how cities should […]

Wild camping with flamingos

May 2, 2014 by Mike Leave a Comment

We’re slowly making our way out of Spain, up the coast, with Barcelona as our last planned stop to see a friend. We were intrigued by a little strip of land on the map. It looks like an interesting wild camping spot so we went and had a look. This whole area forms the delta […]

Carpark cooking: Rocky road by the lake

May 1, 2014 by Mike Leave a Comment

We’re by a lake in Spain (Here – spot of the month for April). This rocky road is so good! I took the recipe from The Camper Van Cookbook by Martin Dorey

Spot of the month (april)

April 30, 2014 by Mike 1 Comment

We’ve been ignoring the list of ‘Europe wild-camping spots’ (see post) recently to find our own places.  I was excited to find such a great spot from looking for clues on the map (e.g. dead-end grey roads through a lake) and driving to it. It is always hit and miss but I think I’m starting […]

Surfing in Portugal with help from a hitchhiker

April 18, 2014 by Mike 1 Comment

We carried on to Portugal via a few nights in Cadiz and Seville. I’ve only ever heard good things about Portugal; friendly people, good parties and big waves. We stayed around the south coast for a few nights (some great spots for vans) before dropping Erica (Ross’ gf) off at Faro airport for her flight […]

12 reasons why Gibraltar is so… strange?

April 12, 2014 by Mike Leave a Comment

  Red phone boxes, Royal Mail, police with those old hard-hats, wild monkeys eating rich teas on the street. Gibraltar Its strange. I think I like it… apart from one thing; the ‘English pubs’ and the lack of good music. Maybe I don’t like Gibraltar. I cannot decide. We decided to drive right into Gibraltar […]

Walking the Gibraltar rock

April 10, 2014 by Mike Leave a Comment

Gonna leave Gibraltar tomorrow so we better go up the big rock today. We got up late and played guitars for an hour before taking the curtain down to look at the busy street we’ve been camping on for the past 3 nights. I’ve got into the habit of checking the weather outside by looking […]

9 things I’ve learned after living in my van for a month

April 9, 2014 by Mike 6 Comments

Another thing that seems to appeal to me about living in a van (apart from the freedom) is the challenge of making it work. There is so much to learn with so many different ways of doing things, which both excites me and scares me. Here are a few things I’ve learned during my first […]
