Had the pleasure to meet and tour landshipcustoms van last night at sunset. Really awesome build and the name Landship really popped with the look of this van. Can’t wait to share with everyone on youtube

During recording I saw a opportunity to snap a quick photo (first pic). Shane had no idea I was recording and taking another photo with my phone but I’m glad I did!

Left the coast in a hurry a couple nights ago. Thankfully, Twin the cat is almost back to her old self but for a bit she was really sick. Not sure what caused it but she vomited and then started to shiver, drool with her mouth open, and puff up like a cotton ball. There are no 24-hour emergency vets on the Washington/Oregon coast so we drove 2.5 hours in the dark to get her closer to help. Not sure what happened but a full day in her cat bed after subcutaneous fluids and an anti-nausea injection seemed to do the trick. A similar thing happened to Toby while we camping on a Croatian farm last summer. Only difference is a full work up in Croatia cost us like $30 and here in the US we paid $250 without bloodwork and X-rays. I keep saying this every few days and it still surprises me each time. It was cheaper for us to live in Europe. But it also may have to do with easy access to Amazon lockers here. Ha.

P.S. Thank you for all your kind words the past few days. I wasn’t fishing for comments but each and every one brought a smile to our faces. We’re all glad you are along for the ride.

We went into Overland Expo hoping for two things: to share our story and to reconnect with our traveling community here.

Over five days, we got to meet up with family and reconnect with old friends we haven’t seen in years. On top of that, we finally had a chance to hang out and say hello to so many other travelers we’ve only interacted with online. It was exactly what we were hoping for, what we needed, a stronger sense of community. And hopefully those connections we made over the weekend will continue as we explore this continent. Thank you all. You know who you are 🙂

While sharing our stories during a variety of panels, I gave the kids the option to attend our chats. To my surprise, they chose to stick around for all of our sessions. They’ve heard, and lived, these stories a million times before but now they were soaking in everyone else’s unique stories. My most empowering moment of the show was to sit on a panel with four amazing women, all with totally different adventures, with my girls in the audience. They listened to stories from a solo adventurer, one who rides a motorcycle with her pup, one whose traveled to over 75 countries, and one who started this expo and traveled the far corners of Africa. There is no right way to live this life, no perfect vehicle, no best route. The one thing we all have in common is that we followed our hearts.

Départ dans moins d’un mois pour le sud 🤗 Le plan exacte reste encore à voir (tsé des fois que je rencontrerais quelqu’un d’ici là 💁🏼‍♀️😅) mais chose sûre je suis très excité de repartir en van voir mes amis du sud, les spots de camping sauvages et bien sur biker! Qui sait ce que l’aventure me réservera cette fois 😊 Et vous, quels sont vos plans cet hiver? Y’a t-il d’autres snowbirds ici? 🚐

Every winter, we head back to Croatia to take care paperwork that allows us to travel in the EU freely. We also jammed back here from Western Europe in hopes to catch the tail end of summer with a dip in the Adriatic Sea. But instead, the storms of the west followed us east. As the sun dipped behind the horizon last night, the sky lit up like I have never seen before. Everything was a hue of orange, even the sea. Okay, Croatia, we forgive your crappy weather… but we are still crossing our fingers for a one last hoorah.

Yesterday was the start of a new year of roadschool! Ava is now in 10th, Mila in 8th and Luka in 5th. They’ve been homeschooled their entire lives. They’ve never been to a typical school so to them this is their normal.

We started off homeschooling through a charter program when Ava started kindergarten for some hand holding as we figured out the best ways to school our children. After a few years, we felt confident and declared ourselves a private school in California and schooled them around the world.

Now that Ava is in high school, we felt the need for a change. So this year, she is started a new home study program through a charter school. She will taking a range of online classes including Biology, World Literature, Algebra 2, Spanish and Digital Illustration. It’s definitely a shift because she will have more interactions with other students and teachers while gaining responsibly as she learns to manage her time and assignments.

And all of this can still happen from our home on the road as we continue to explore this beautiful world of ours together as family.

"Silvia & Mario have always been ardent travelers.Two years ago, they decided to acquire a VW T6 and convert it into a traveling home. They did all of the work by themself. Work was completed after six months and the couple
who once yearned to see the world now does it in the
comforts of their home on wheels. Now two years later, they bought a new Van, a 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter & will convert it into a new offroad rolling home."

It’s hard to ignore this pull we feel to explore more. We thought our first cross-country trip with our Airstream would scratch our itch, but it only made it worse. And the same thing happened when we started to explore internationally. Something changed in us. There’s so much to see, so much to learn, and so much to still experience.

We’ve been in the US for almost six months now. It felt really good to take our passports out again at the Canadian border today and hear the agent say “welcome”.

So hello again, Canada. Glad to be back. It’s been 6 years. Our plan is to hop around Banff for a week or two, get some timbits, and introduce the cats to their 19th country.

#repost • andreahansson_ • What do you think about this build? Andrea & Jacob have been living in their van for a year now and in the past months they welcomed 2 lovely pups on board! 🐶
Their van build had a slightly different layout at first but along the way they realized some adjustments are necessary to better fit their needs. One thing they learned is that it’s worth giving up space for a fix bed. This is one of the major adjustments they did and they would definitely go for a fix bed in any future builds.

What about you? Do you prefer a fix bed or 2 in 1 (bed & lounge)?

Go and check out their van life adventures with two dogs here -> andreahansson_

Hi everyone, we’re jasonsrhoj and nanja__ and this is our van, Biggie! 🚐

In November 2021 we bought a Toyota Hiace Commuter which we are currently converting into a camper van to travel around Australia (hopefully by March 2022).

We’ll share as much as we can about our conversion process, about things we wish we knew before and our journey when we’re ready to go… 🇦🇺

We left the Port of Los Angeles (my childhood hometown) four years ago with a big adventure ahead of us. We accomplished what we set out to do, and then some. I’m proud of my little family. The memories we all made together is why we live the way we do.

Arriving back here today feels like we closed some sort of loop. Leg one of our European adventure, I guess. Sure, there will be more European adventures in our future but not in this exact configuration, probably not child-wise or vehicle-wise, but for sure not little kid age-wise.

So what now? Well, we’ll hang in California for a bit before heading north in search of cooler temps. And then in the fall, we point our van south for a few months of eating and surfing our way through Baja.

(First couple photos are from today and the rest are from 2018 when we bought and built out our home. Look how little the kids were! 😭❤️)

“In September we started the adventure of converting an empty van into a camper. The first few months went really hard and overtime the urge to leave by bus took over. We have always exchanged many weekends away from that moment on weekends of chores. Now the bus is finished with some small projects. And also begins the countdown.” 🤩🤩🚐👏

Hello from the very northwest corner of the contiguous 48 US states! Our previous two visits here were so sunny that we could hardly believe the gloom. That didn’t stop us from revisiting Cape Flattery and enjoying some family time at one of our favorite paid campgrounds in the country.
