Hello!
We are Phil and Izzy. In early 2018, we sold our home and most of our possessions, bought a motorhome and gave up work….we’ve been travelling and living on the road ever since.
We love to share information about motorhome specific destinations and give practical motorhome tips and info about life on the road…that’s why we blog!
Follow us on social media for up to date stories, info and images!
Meet Our Home on Wheels!
Our second van is a 2007 Knaus SLiner 800LEG. She is without a name but not without affection and is known fondly as ‘the van’ or simply ‘home’. She is a beautiful and functional place to live, with loads of clever storage and super-comfy beds! She has a GVW of 5,000kg and room for our scooter and washing machine in the garage. We love her!!

More About Us
We both travelled extensively for our careers and met in the Falkland Islands. Phil is a bit of a petrolhead and a skilled and practical DIY’er and spent what seemed like a lifetime in the Army. Izzy is the corporate switched-on organiser who has an inner couch potato trying to get out, and fulfils the role of builders mate, reluctantly.
We have spent the last 15 years pursuing careers, travelling, renovating properties and dreaming of a different way of life. Phil spent childhood summers in a caravan on the North Irish Coast, so hardy and unfazed by the weather; Izzy spent the same summers camping in the South of France, so not so hardy and likes the sunshine!
We took our kids camping every year and have been inspired by past adventures; life on the road and under canvas. We have road-tripped across California, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and Portugal on a motorbike, so taking the leap and moving into a motorhome has been relatively easy!
Contact us, we'd love to hear from you!
