⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We’re Philly and Keely, a couple living full-time in our tiny home on wheels, exploring the world one road trip at a time!
Our vanlife journey began with a DIY campervan build in a Citroën Relay, where we spent a year navigating the streets of London before quitting our jobs to travel full-time—only to be met with lockdown. Once the world reopened, we pushed our van further than ever, road-tripping through Europe to the stunning landscapes of Turkey. But vanlife isn’t always smooth sailing…
🚐 Robbed in Spain – Our van was broken into, and we lost everything valuable.
🔥 Van fire disaster – Just as we got back on the road, our home-on-wheels caught fire.
🌏 Japan & Australia – We pivoted, taking on a three-month adventure across Japan, then built another van in Australia for an epic six-month road trip deep into the Outback.
Now, we’ve packed up our UK vanlife and are embarking on a brand-new adventure—this time in America! We’re traveling in a vintage RV, chasing the open road across North America. Subscribe to follow our journey! 🚐✨
