We’ve been living on the road in and around Europe since 2018. Our nomadic life started when we sold our home in the United Kingdom as we were both nearing 50, and we started traveling in a motorhome. We graduated to an overland truck which we built ourselves, and now split our time between our off-grid house in Spain, our overland truck, and more conventional travel when we want to get further afield.
