- Hello!
I’m Willem and I’m currently traveling around Europe alone after self converting my 2001 Volkswagen T4 Transporter! I decided to quit my job after working for 8 years for Volkswagen, working my way up to sales manager however 50+ hours a week and every Saturday was too much as I wanted to see the beauty Europe had to offer and in particular it’s mountain ranges and lakes.
So join my journey as I head into the unknown and adapt to VanLife, avoiding parking tickets, campsites and tourists as much as possible as I try to reach the highest peaks and find some unknown gems to share with you all.
I’ve met so many cool and interesting people already and shared some memories which will last a lifetime and I’m sure there’s more to come. There’s already been so much happening in my short time away so subscribe to follow along!

ON THIS VLOG
I decided to hike up to the best viewpoint over Interlaken, ridge walk to the mountain Augstmatthorn. After that I was searching for my next destination when a friend from a previous video asked me to come join him on the promise off good times and adventure! He also had friends flying over from the UK to visit so the 4 of us could all join together and have some fun. It turned out to be one of the best weeks in my life, apologies in advance the second half of this video I was frequently drunk so vlogging quality wasn’t 10/10 🤣

Found you last night and binged watched up until here. Contemplating buying my neighbours tw. Much mechanical issues so far?
Hi mate, thanks for watching, obvious things when buying a t4 are mainly rust, after that it’s just age related stuff like cambelt and making sure servicing been done, there’s loads of little things that t4’s pick up but very easily fixed, only had two problems, power steering is leaking a small amount so will need doing for MOT and I had an issue where I parked backwards down a hill and it tried to suck up air when starting (turned out there was a crack in fuel sender) but nothing you’d ever know, just go for it
👏👏👏
Thanks bro
Awesome 😎 I really love your channel, not only for the content but also because I'm a fellow traveler myself and I can definitely learn something from you. If you're ever curious, check me out ✌️
Thanks! 🫱🏻🫲🏼 Yeah I try to live it to the max 🤣 I’ll check your channel out for sure
