VANLIFE | how we shower and do laundry in my tiny van conversion
We’re now below Lisbon and heading towards the Algarve and this video gives some insight into how we do some of the more practical parts of life on the road, like washing our clothes and ourselves as my tiny van conversion doesn’t have a shower in it!

We visited Europe’s first ‘world surf reserve’, with 4km of dedicated surfing beaches, in Ericeira. A few days later, we had our first technical problem of the trip! Subscribe to the channel! Follow me on Insta - spindriftvan Check out my TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZMLWagPkV
Vanlife in Portugal | wild camping on the cliffs
Переглядів 2,6 тис.2 роки тому
After what was to be our one night in a proper bed with an en-suite shower, we enjoyed a yoga class and a huge breakfast before leaving Noah’s Surf House and setting off to the cliffs where we made some friends and had our first BBQ of the trip.

Vanlife and surfing in Portugal - Peniche and Santa Cruz
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 роки тому
This week we spent a few days in Peniche (where we could’ve spent weeks!) and had a surf with Nico who transformed the surfing community here, where international competitions are now held! Then we went to Noah’s Surf House in Santa Cruz for an evening of luxury and our only ‘non-van’ day of the trip! Subscribe to the channel! Follow me on Insta - spindriftvan Check out my TikTok ...
VAN CONVERSION | start to finish build - assembled and disassembled in just 20 minutes
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
My van conversion took about 7 months but is able to be assembled and disassembled in just 20 minutes (in real life, rather than on video!) My dad worked so hard on this van with me and we’re so proud of the result - if you have any questions about the build or what we used, we will both be happy to answer, and some of the items we found useful are linked below!

Wild camping in Nazaré’s woodlands | home of the world’s biggest surfable waves
Переглядів 8952 роки тому
As someone who loves surfing, Nazaré was high on my list of surf spots to hit in Portugal - it’s home to the world’s largest surfable waves and countless surf records have been broken here. The respect for the sea is evident in everyone’s attitudes and a great €1 exhibition in the caves under the lighthouse explains the cause of the huge swell. Best of all… I used the hammock for the first time...
Morning vanlife routine & wild swimming in Gêres, Portugal
Переглядів 2,5 тис.2 роки тому
We woke up early after a busy day in Porto and drove into the high mountains of Portugal to go wild swimming in the rock pools and waterfalls hidden in the woods. It was magical! Subscribe to the channel! Follow me on Insta - spindriftvan Check out my TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZMLWagPkV
PORTO in a day, in a van | where to park and what to do
Переглядів 9572 роки тому
We spent 12 hours in Porto and this is how we kept the van safe, our costs down, and explored so much of this awesome city. We visited the world’s most beautiful bookshop which inspired the architecture of Hogwarts, and tried oysters for the first time!

    I have a ex BG Caddy Maxi too and am setting off to Europe next month. It's great to see what you've done to it as there's a lot of things I haven't seen elsewhere. Some great tips on locations too. Well done! You should do some more videos.

    Hey girl, would you do me a favor? I want to see if my idea for creating more subscribers works on your channel. This is my idea: Start once a week telling a specific story about your life or read from a book (at an interesting location). Take us on a journey with your stories. I think this added part to your vanlife story, which we get to experience through you visually might be greatly enhanced if you had a portion of your videos simply telling stories about this or that. One idea would be to read from any philosopher his or her ideas about life and then to tell us your thoughts on those ideas of his/hers. Thoreau or Kerouac come to mind. Just an idea. I already love your content and love living through you. I won't bother you again. But, I think this would set you apart from the thousands of other vanlife YTers.
