Bear loves swimming and playing with balls… combining the two.

I took my new dog to my favourite camping ground. It was a bit surreal.
I have changed my van around a bit, but still haven’t decorated it inside, although I have most of the materials to do so.

First camping trip with my beautiful new dog. Such great company and cuddles.
Slightly different set up with my new mesh room.

I have travelled to where my Grandparents used to lived when my Mum was young.

I met up with a girl who had the same van as mine. We stayed at a couple of free camps together. It looks like we are trying to hide behind trees here . We stayed at a lovely little town here that had good amenities and a cool pub. I don’t drink, but my van friend did, so we walked to the pub. It was decorated with record album covers. They let us choose the music and they cranked up the volume. Lots of fun. I normally love staying in the bush, but I find the hospitality in small towns to be great.

I decided to travel down south, in Australia this winter. It hasn’t been very cold - I only had a few frosty mornings, which were gorgeous. It was interesting to experience travelling in my van in a couple of states that have visibly different seasons (compared to Brisbane).

A van almost exactly like mine, in the background at a rest stop I stayed at.
I bought my van with the pop-top already made. The guy in the other van had his made. He loved the fact that he could decide on the sizes of the windows on his pop-top canvas. He chose full size windows, which he said was great for ventilation when he is in hot weather. He also has windows on all 4 sides, whereas mine has them on 3 sides.

We love your travel content, tell us the places you’ve been around the world
I’ve been all over, I recently completed a trip that meant I’d been to all the continents (except Antarctica) .
What was your favourite destination?
I don’t really have a favorite destination, each destination holds a really special place in my heart because of who I went with, or the occasion of my travel.
Do you use travel agents or are you a DIY traveller using apps?
I’m a diY through and through. I use momondo to book flights, and depending on what apps they use in the country for commuting. I use Pinterest to find as much information as a i can before booking.
When did the travel bug bite?
When I spent 3 weeks in Brazil over Christmas and nye with friends.
Do you have any hints and tips for solo travellers or first time travellers?
Do as much research as you can, and that safety is only a concern in South Africa. If you can survive being alone here, the rest of the world is easy to navigate.
What do you never travel without?
I want to say my husband, but it’s my phone.
Money is no object, where in the world would you go?
Oh wow. I’d go to Ethiopia
