Just before we left for Canada we headed South to Dorest for a week long road trip along the coast, with an added Wales stopover, with a of couple friends who also have a van.

Flying into Canada during Covid-19
We recently made our way over to Canada to get ready for our little guy to make his appearence but this meant having to jump through a few hoops and travel restrictions/requirements. Currently Canada's borders are shut to international travel. You can fly into Canada for very few reasons, one of them being returning home … Continue reading Flying into Canada during Covid-19
Van Build: Insulating
One of the first things we did with the van, after dealing with some interior rust and installing our MaxxAir Fan, was insulate. We wanted to insulate the van so that it would stay warm in the winter but also keep out heat in the summer, since we plan on living in it year round. I … Continue reading Van Build: Insulating
Did someone say new carry-on?
Nope, it's not a new suitcase, backpack or a puppy (sad face). We've tested positive and it wasn't for Covid! Yep, our middle seat occupier and teeny world traveller is arriving this summer! Our newest carry-on arrives August 2021. Oh yeah, and it's a boy! We announced this next adventure months ago, but i'm only … Continue reading Did someone say new carry-on?
Van Build: Choosing a Layout
Choosing a layout for our van build has been so hard! And I don't think we have a final decision yet! Every time we think we've settled on a layout we end up changing our minds! It definitely doesn't help that I have major decision anxiety! I can't make up my mind! 🙈 We have … Continue reading Van Build: Choosing a Layout

I'm not really sure why we stopped but I'd like to get back to posting them as a way to look at the week and … Continue reading Friday Favourites
What and Where to eat in Rome
Italy, where do we even start when it comes to the food, it's easily one of our favourite cuisines. One thing we recently learned was that each area of Italy has its own traditional dishes. So even though you can probably get carbonara anywhere in Italy, traditionally it comes from Rome. But, for the most … Continue reading What and Where to eat in Rome
4 Days Driving Around Southwest England
A while back Will had some built-up holiday days at work, so he took them and we went on a road trip to the south of England. We own a VW Passat and with the back seats folded down flat, we can fit a queen-sized air mattress perfectly. So that's what we did, and we … Continue reading 4 Days Driving Around Southwest England
Visiting Castle Howard
Living in Yorkshire, there is so much history and a lot of places to see/visit. We have a whole list of places to want to go and things we want to do. But with Will working during the week, the only time we get is on the weekends, so we usually do things that are … Continue reading Visiting Castle Howard
