Van tour! 🚐 I finished my van conversion over 4 years ago and I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve done a tiny van tour on Instagram!
Living in a van this small has MANY positives and negatives, but all these years on and I’ve hardly made any changes - I added a shower, strengthened the bed’s legs, fixed the lock on the sliding drawers, and added some shelves infront of the tiling, but other than that, she’s stayed just as perfect as in the beginning!
What else do you want to know about travelling and living in a van in the Uk and Europe?

A lot of people think that van life is expensive, but in reality I chose this lifestyle to minimise my monthly expenses while doing more of the things I love 🥰
Full-time travel can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. I’ve seen campervan conversions ranging anywhere from £3k to £150k (honestly though what the hell 🤣) and how much you spend each month vastly depends on your style of travel, how much you eat out, what kind of activities you enjoy, and many other things.
For me, my favourite things to do are hiking and photography, both of which are free (apart from the upfront camera cost of course), and my main expenses are insurance (because I’m a new driver), fuel and food. Added together, those basic expenses are still quite a bit less than I used to spend on rent alone, and they facilitate a lifestyle I love ☺️
Is this more or less than you expected? 🤎

It feels like summer van life is already a distant memory, after an entire week of rain. What a summer though, of sunshine, laughter and adventure :) but also, a summer of personal growth and new beginnings, I’ve really learnt to slow down and be content with what I have and where I am (instead of constantly chasing the next pretty viewpoint). Now that the weather is changing I’m going to try and stick with a more structured work plan, I’ve got some really exciting things to share next week (things behind the scenes that I’ve been world on) 🤭
And here’s a quick reminder that stillness is okay and necessary sometimes 🌿

After 3.5 months of building from morning till evening, I’m now the proud owner of my dream tiny home on wheels 🥰🚌🌿
I’ve been travelling solo in my campervan “Frodo” for nearly 3 months now and I’m still madly in love with this cosy space I’ve created! Many times during the conversion build it felt like this day would never come, so diving him around Europe this summer has felt extra magical 🤎
There’s a full van tour on my channel if you’re interested! ☺️🙏

Three months ago I decided to rent a room in SLC while my van had to go into the shop. Once the van was done, I wasn’t quite ready to move back in and decided I was due for a quick break from living on the road.
This vehicle has been my only true home since June of 2021. In the last few years, anytime I “moved out” it was because I was leaving the country to go live out of a backpack. This was the first time I was out of it and living in an actual house.
I will say, having a couch to lounge on was NICE. For 3 months I didn’t have to think about where I was going to park for the night, where to empty my grey water tank or fill up on water, or deal with any winter heater issues.
SLC, I’ll be back, but now I’m excited to be in my home 💃

“I’ve never had a job before.”
I’ve always resisted anything that restricted my creative freedom. It makes sense 😂
I was raised in my family’s campground. My mom managed the business while my dad managed everything utility. They worked their butts off to maintain time autonomy. My childhood years were unconventional - I spent the majority of my time shadowing them at work. As an only child, I learned to find creative ways to entertain myself, and as I grew older, found ways to monetize those hobbies
When I was in college, I saved up a couple thousand dollars drawing + selling portraits, housesitting, and walking dogs. When I wanted to see the country, I found a creative way to make it happen…enter in my first van conversion!
I didn’t start building as a way to make money but after road-tripping to 46 states at age 19 in a sweet van I built for $14k all in, I couldn’t help but see the business opportunity!
Even though I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars with no promised returns, spent thousands of hours on back breaking labor, and forgone the guaranteed safety of a conventional career path, this way of living lights me up and keeps me exciting for life! Better yet, it’s introduced me to my best friends, allowed me travel whenever/wherever I want, and maintain the purest sense of freedom✨
In my book, I go into depth on my journey from my upbringing, getting started building, and traveling, to starting a business in this field. I share every insight I’ve learned over the years from material choice, tools needed, resources, to design process, go-to methods, the building process, step-by-steps, and marketing/selling!

Who says a small campervan can’t have a full character?
Sam (@samkwinsor) turned this van into her home, and every corner reflects purpose, passion, and a whole lot of love.
