February - March 2020

Van life is becoming increasingly more popular and there's definitely a reason for it, who wouldn't want this kind of freedom when it can be experienced as if you haven't left the comfort of your own home?

LOOKING TO JUMPSTART YOUR VANLIFE

Speaking of homes, owning a house nowadays is becoming an extremely difficult task. We, being Jordan Whitcombe and Jess Middleton decided to pursue our dream project of renovating a van and to us, that was buying our first house, yet better. In fact, we could transform our van exactly how we wanted to, and where we wanted to. Our van ‘Dusty’ is our greatest and happiest investment along with our pup Chet who also joins us on our travels.

Just like anything in life, there is more than meets the eye, and sometimes this can become overwhelming if you are looking to get started into the van life movement. We have experienced this first hand and would love to be able to help those who may feel the same. Imagine, after going through the process of finding the right van, you are so excited to park up and dive into your new project but your left asking yourself “well now that's done, what's the next step?” Trust us, there are certain steps you need to take in order for the build to go smoothly. When we initially started our build a few years ago there was very little information or guidance for renovations, what's involved or what to expect. As a result, we had to figure a few things out on our own and have taken away some valuable information for our next project in the near future.

North West Circuit Stewart Island

I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.

Emilie's adventure to Angelus Hut

“I want to be the leader!” Miss Six announced, pushing past me in her determination to be in front. Momentarily off-balance with my heavy pack, I narrowly avoided twisting an ankle on the sharp rocks and silently swore while cracking a bright smile.

Adversity at Altitude

The wind and snow is whipping at my face. I’ve readjusted the stiff frozen fleece buff around my neck and mouth, desperately trying to protect myself from the -20 degree bitter wind. Adrenaline is still pumping through my body but I know I’ll start to get cold soon.
