This is the start of my journey back towards vanlife — but this time, in a more sustainable way.
I lived in a van full time for 2 years while my house was being renovated — and vanlife changed my life in ways I never expected.
In this video, I’m sharing the honest truth about vanlife: the freedom, the beautiful moments, the hard parts, the loneliness, the money stress, and what it’s really like living in a van long term.
Vanlife can look amazing online, but there’s a side to it that doesn’t always get shown. After 2 years of full time van life, I wanted to talk honestly about what I loved, what was difficult, and what I learned from living so simply.
This is the start of my journey back towards vanlife — paying off renovation debt, building online income, and working towards a more permanent life on the road.

ABOUT ME 🙋🏻♀️
Hi, I'm Sara, a UK mum based in a small English town near Liverpool.
I am passionate about travel and adventure. As a solo mum to my now 19 year old son I want to inspire women and mums to travel and explore at whatever stage of life they are in.
I try to pack as much exploring into my days as possible and share videos from fantastic places around the world.
I post a new video Friday 6pm
