This is where I share my personal journey. I write about what it’s like to live in a van and my experiences and thoughts as I navigate life outside the norm. For each blog post I write, I follow two simple rules: Be authentic and be honest.
We all find ourselves in situations sometimes where something in our life just doesn’t really fit anymore and we want change, we want something new. But how is that change or new going to find you if you just hold on to the old? You need to make space in your life for new things to find you.
Read MoreAfter over four months of living the Vanlife, it was time to make some big decisions about the future.
As it turns out, living up to my new 'Be fearless. But don't be stupid' Mantra is easier said then done. But luckly a chance encounter helped me figure out the right next steps for me.
Read MoreOne of my favourite parts of the Vanlife is that I get to discover new places and experiences all the time. I’ve come to realise how powerful, humbling and inspiring that is.
That's why I’m going to challenge you to go on a little 'Something New' Adventure yourself...

Read MoreAfter two months on the road, I came back to Auckland for 10 days.
It's been really great to catch up with my friend but being back in the busy, noisy city also came with some challenges...
Read MoreHave you ever really listened to your mood? Have you ever really paid attention to what makes you feel happy, excited and energised and what makes you feel sad, lethargic and lonely?
I don’t think I ever really did. Until I started the vanlife and all the sudden there is no escaping it.
Read MoreHave you met many interesting people yet? That’s a question I hear a lot. I guess it makes sense for people to assume that, while traveling around New Zealand on my own, I would meet some cool people.
But I haven’t really, yet. And, truth is, it’s probably not because there are no cool people to meet, but because I choose not to engage with them.
Read MoreWhat do skills and chicken have in common? The third letter in both words is an i!
Just kidding :) They might have something else in common. Let me explain.
Read MoreWhat makes us happy?
I came across this fascinating TED Talk by Dan Gilbert the other day. Dan takes a very scientific look at what makes people happy and his findings are fascinating. Apparently, people who become paraplegic are just as likely to live happy lives as those who win the lottery...
