Ever daydreamed of hitting the road or are you just about to take off on an expedition around Australia? There is so much to love and learn about this lifestyle. When we bought our first caravan, we were already on the move, travelling fulltime with just a few backpacks. We knew nothing about caravanning, but with international travel off the cards thanks to the pandemic, we found ourselves learning the ins and outs of van life on the run. So, here's a few nuggets of wisdom we stumbled upon during our adventure.

Imagine this. You've got zilch experience in caravanning and camping isn’t really your thing. But, out of the blue, you buy a second-hand caravan (without even giving it a once-over) and shuffle in with your kiddos to tour around Australia. Insane, right? Yep, that's our wild story!

When we left Australia on March 1, toilet paper was aplenty on supermarket shelves, New York had only just confirmed its first case of Covid-19 and the humble handshake was not yet taboo. We were terrified, but not because of a virus. We'd rolled the dice, trading our dream house, careers and familiar lifestyle for an uncharted, open-ended escapade around the globe, our three-year-old and four-year-old daughters in tow.

It all started with a wild thought. A question. What if we could leave normal life behind, sell our belongings and go on a global adventure with our children? What if we could step outside convention, be more present with our girls and just live life to its fullest.

Our transition into full-time wanderers didn't just happen at the drop of a hat. We spent many months and moon-lit hours getting all our ducks in a row. The ignition spark for our travels came while we lived in a partially refurbished house, situated on a sprawling two-acre property on the Gold Coast. The sale of this house was the linchpin of our ambitious plan, which meant the completion of a sizable renovation. So, we penciled in an auction date and embarked on a round-the-clock renovation marathon.
