Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse for our van life journey around Europe…the van has been broken into. Find out what a nightmare this has caused in this weeks episode.
WHO WE ARE?
Emma and Reese a married couple who for the last 11 years have been TRAVELLING around in various CAMPER-VANS. Now with our little dog Daisy we TRAVEL around in our SELF CONVERTED VAN showing you how to VISIT the VERY BEST PLACES the UK and EUROPE have to offer. We don’t pretend to be anything but ourselves and believe in always staying positive.
Our CAMPER VAN called Romany is a 2019 FORD TRANSIT VAN that is our TINY HOME ON WHEELS.
We have also bought a 57ft CANAL BOAT which we are currently converting and will be going between the VAN and the BOAT to live life to the fullest and bring you enjoyable CREATIVE VIDEO CONTENT.
If you LOVE TRAVEL, ADVENTURE or you are curious about VAN LIFE, LIVING IN A VAN and LIFE ON THE ROAD then you will most likely love our content.
Lastly we would like to say a big THANK YOU to each and every person who watches our channel and for the lovely comments. We love to hear from you

Great ending to a very sad event. Being broken into is a hellish experience. But Miguel restored your faith in human nature. Keep your chins up. And keep fighting the good fight.
Yeah long forgotten now 😀😀😀 was just one of those things that happens. Miguel was a legend he really cheered us up bless him. Thanks so much for watching 😀😀😀♥️
I watched your Liverpool video and your great feeling towards my city and then I watched this .
Yeah you can see why we don’t usually like them 😂 😂 but Liverpool was incredible
Hello you 2….. just found your channel… what a cool pair you are, hey your right don’t waste your energy and lovely spirit on horrible things just push it aside, you are free spirits good luck xx❤❤
Welcome to our channel 😊😊 thank you so much ☺️ X
To visit cities always park safely outside and train in or in official site in city. In Seville there is one outside train station
Yeah definitely the way to go from now on
That is so horrible, feel for you x
Yeah it was really awful at the time it really shook our confidence in cities to be honest ♥️
I have lived in or around London all my life and I can honestly say I hate Cities!
Too many people, too many rude people, too much crime and also way too expressive. When travelling through Europe we always try not not stay in any city and I don’t like being away from our Camper for too long because I don’t trust it won’t be there when we return or broken into.
All the best.
Yeah we won’t be doing cities again we don’t think, it’s just not worth the hassle is it 😊 I can imagine London is a bit overwhelming
I left London 25 years ago and i will never go back to London 😢
Thank the lord you take Daisy everywhere with you … X
Exactly why we do Karen, would never leave her not even for 5 minutes it’s just not worth the risk 😊😊😊
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. It's great that after the initial shock and horror, you're able to put it to one side and get on with your lives. Miguel sounds great and such a help to you. What a blessing that you found him. I hope that the rest of your trip goes well.
Yeah Miguel was amazing, you have to just get on with it and keep smiling 😊 🏴☠️🏴☠️😊
***SO SAD THIS OCCURED TO YOU..KEEP YOUR CHIN UP..GOD BLESS YOU.ALL.******FELLOW. CAN LIFER. IN UK.
Sorry to see your predicament. When i had my sidewindow smashed when parked in coventry uk. Although an inconvenuence i was pleased ,if thats the word,that nothing else was damaged or stolen And the car was not taken.
Where theres people theres the liklehood of criminal activity.
Hopefully you sorted it without too much discomfort.
Yeah we got it sorted eventually, these things happen I guess and like you say it could have been much worse. It was strange that they didn’t try and get in the side door but we were lucky it was just the window. Just upsetting at the time isn’t it
You go wherever your hearts & minds take you both. That feeling. That vibe. All good. I love your videos no matter what. You could be sitting in a room with nothing in it, only you two & Daisy of course & I'd still tune in. You're fabulous! The energy you have. That sparkle. Amazing. You energise me & make me feel good, happy & smile. Love you guys. Keep writing .. XX
Aw bless you June glad you enjoy our videos 😊😊😊 really appreciate the kind words thank you ☺️
Absolutely gutted for you bless you xxx
We didn’t let it get us down for long. We always bounce back 😊😊🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️X
There's a profound sense of resentment because they're angry they can never have what you have so the intention is to strike fear and paralyse you with that fear. People are sinking us, literally. Sorry, enjoy life to spite them. 🩵 Never lose sight of your bliss...
Yeah could be. We just keep smiling 😊 👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
i was so sorry to see what had happened to you , i know how much my van means to me and the thought of some mindless idiots damaging it and going through your stuff i can only imagine how awful that feels, i hope you soon get it sorted and are able to put it behind you and move on to new chapters and new adventures, sending my very best wishes
Yeah it’s just the initial shock of it, especially after what we’d just been saying 😂 it’s absolutely gutting because essentially it’s our home 🏠. But have to keep smiling life is too short 😊😊😊
FYI, I don't know the manufacturer (saw it on another video) but somebody makes/sells a clear film to put over your windows ... it makes them break-resistant.
Thanks ☺️ will look into getting this 👍👍👍
So sorry for your ordeal Rhys and Emma.It's such a shock when you get your property damaged like that so alarming to realise that they are thugs out there waiting to strike.
At least you made the best of it.I got motion detector alarms for our Motor home they were battery ones that you just turn on when leaving the van ,they are quite loud go off when they sense motion can only turn off with the code they were cheap.you can also get little cameras that you can check the van with your phone motion activated too just a few suggestions for your peace of mind.I
Love your channel so glad that nothing was taken st.least.
Will definitely look into those thank you ☺️ yeah it could have been much worse. At least they didn’t take the van that would have been awful 😢
In all big Cities no matter how seemingly Beautiful they are on the surface, there is always a darker element that are on the look out just to make the lives of others as miserable as they are, stealing, destroying and vandalising, they seem to do it just because they can, so sorry this has hurt you two and thinking of you both stay safe,
Yeah, I mean to be fair it’s the first time it’s happened to us, it just makes you so angry when something like this happens. Anyway thank you so much for watching Sally 😊😊😊
What an amazing channel just found you and subscribed
Thank you so much glad you’re enjoying the channel 😊😊😃👍🏴☠️
Sorry to see what happened at least your OK.
Yeah the main thing was everyone was safe 😊😊😊
In any case, everywhere you go, in any country, you should be prepared for these situations. So know where to go and what to do in case something like this happens. It's different for every country. A quick Google search will give you all the info you need
That is sometimes what happens some people don't like people having what they can't have it's just life the main thing is.it only metal and glass and you are both safe ❤
Yeah exactly it could have been so much worse. We will just keep smiling 😊 found that’s the best way 😂 😂
Ahh bless what a disastrous few days, glad you found a nice sympathetic policeman that made things easier for you. Love the way you both bounce back. Roll on next week and Portugal x
Yeah have to bounce back and get on with it otherwise people like that win 😊😊
Thank god you met that lovley policeman ..and they only got away with smashing the window and you had nothing stolen ..love you are not letting this effect your livley spirits xxx
Yeah he was so helpful, just amazing. Yeah it could have been much worse so onwards and upwards 😊😊😊😊
What a shame,it’s gut wrenching when selfish people just don’t care about their fellow man. The person who did this must have been desperate to smash your van window in broad daylight. I hope things get better after this. Sending love ❤️ to both of you.
Yeah it is a shame that people feel the need to do that, so strange that they didn’t try to steal it or take anything, guessing they must have run off
Bad city to go to, Seville is possibly the worst, no security anywhere If you are coming up around Aragon l have a place safe secure rural, free water, no one will bother you, its peaceful. Stay as long as you like just leave it as you find it.
So sorry this has happened to you both.Hope you can get it sorted soon.All the best and keep safe both.looking forward to next week video 👍
You know us were never down for long other wise people like this win 😊🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
bless you both my ducks! U have been thru it this week! Hope they didn’t get into the back of the van! Pleased you found the place to get glass replaced . Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday guys. Get some security camera on van so u can check on your phone van is ok. Sending love Lisa xx ❤❤❤🏴☠️🏴☠️❤️❤️
Hey Lisa 😊😊 yeah it was just one thing after another 😂 😂 but onwards and upwards. Definitely gonna get a camera 😊 thanks so much for watching as always Lisa 😊🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
@@romanypirates it’s a pleasure xx ♥️♥️
Good 👍
Your great people bless you XXXXXXXXXXXX ♥️♥️
Aw thank you Carol 😊😊 very kind of you
Sevilla had some very dangerous neighbourhoods, no-go zones. Probably one of the worst in Spain.
Good to know thanks Kenny ☺️👍👌
Just found your channel. Lovely message guys, new sub now. All the best ❤😊❤
Welcome to the channel 😊😊😊 hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Sending hugs❤❤❤ & Positive vibes your way guys ❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️
So sorry about the van!,,horrible it’s unfortunately everywhere. We parked in Eton, Windsor, very posh smashed car & £200.00 anniversary money we forgot my husbands wallet was in it! Find somewhere peaceful & enjoy relaxation out of the city. Xx UK
Yeah it could have happened anywhere, but yeah more likely to happen in a city than out in a forest somewhere 😊😊
Sometimes good things happen for a reason to meet someone who may help you in the furture
LOVE
the word "hippie" originated from the fact that the trippy folk of the USA wore jeans called "Hipsters"
Oh that’s interesting 😊 didn’t know that 👍 thanks so much for watching 😊😊😊
I've never heard that reference before I grew up in the 60s and 70s in the USA (Colorado) hipsters was a reference to hip music in our neck of the woods for Hippies it was all about a more bohemian life style out of the main stream norm of society promoting free love peace music wearing beads sandals long hair and experimenting with drugs their counterparts Yippies had much the same lifestyle but were more political minded protesting the Vietnam War raising awareness for equality and other social injustices
Surely before traveling anywhere you should have a list of emergency numbers. Also have some understanding of procedures and be more prepared for as many situations as you can be. Honestly do not mean this to be mean in anyway but it’s common sense.
Travel safely x
Yeah absolutely agree, I think because we’ve been doing this for so many years you kind of take it for granted that everything will be fine. It’s never happened to us in all the years of travelling. But yeah you live and learn I guess 😊😊😊
I know how you feel i hate cities too.far to many people, nope not for me .
Enjoy your time ❤
Yeah we will stick to the quieter places, lesson learnt I guess 😊 thank you for watching
@@romanypirates ❤️🙏
So many videos of vans broken into in Spain. I lived there for 4 years not in a van and I got robbed countless times in most brutal ways. France too. Italy can be similar. Get out of there it's a disgusting crime riddled country and police will laugh at you while doing absolutely nothing to stop these crimes.
That's a big reason I travel in my van now in my country Bulgaria, where luckily these things never happen. Yes, people wanna explore and make videos of places, but is it worth not feeling safe? Choose a safe place living in a van. I feel for you here, been there myself
I think it shocked us more because we’ve been travelling Spain in a van for over a decade and have many friends there and never had a problem. Bulgaria is definitely on the list to explore we’ve heard wonderful things about it 😊
Well, I was in Barcelona, so it's the worst of the worst, but any touristy place in Spain would be crime infested. If you were in the mountains etc then could be different. But I've seen many videos of vans being broken into in Spain, also Italy and France, Spain always leads the way 🤣
Seville has several paid motorhome parks that have 24 hr security.
Oh I wish we’d have known this 😌😌😌
Such a shock 🤬 is nothing sacred 🤬
Yeah massive shock…appears not, can’t have anything can you without someone damaging it or trying to take it
@@romanypirates when told Bev she was so shocked prayed you were both ok the main thing oh & Daisy
P.s. it’s Mav here keith & Bev cross keys Morley
I think the person that did that was probably disturbed and didn't get the chance to go through your van. I hope you reconsider the city visits in the future. Your van is better on a campsite on the outskirts of a city and use public transport to get around. I also understand that being in rural areas is less stress, in my experience paying for a campsite for a night or two is worth it just for piece of mind. Anyway safe travels and best wishes. AL
Disturbed me arse stop justifying criminals!!
I certainly are not justifying criminals they are Scum who did this to this couple. My point was they were fortunate that only the front window was smashed and not the rest of the van. Hopefully a decent person came along and prevented any further damage or misery for these people who just want to travel and enjoy their life.
Yeah it was certainly strange that they didn’t steal anything, I mean the sat nav was literally right in front of them so they must have run away. Will definitely approach cities different if we visit one again but we will probably just avoid them from now on. Thank you so much for watching anyway 😊😊😊😊
Come on. Every country has its car break ins.
Uk is one of the worst for break ins on vehicles.
Yeah it definitely is, we’ve been travelling Spain for years and never had a problem, yeah that’s why we stay out of the UK as much as we can 😂 😂 thanks so much for watching 😊😊
Shit happens! Sorry your Van got broken into. It just happens to have happened to you in the city. Many Vans have been broken into in the woods, forest, in rural places and even in their own personal driveways. Take care of your window and Move ON. Life is too short to let this get the best of you. Neither you, your wife or your dog were injured. Live in gratitude! All the Best on your adventures! 👍✅😊
Yeah nothing ever gets us down we just keep smiling 😊 I think it was the shock of it as it’s the first time it’s happened in over a decade of travelling but it is what it is 😊😊😊
@@romanypirates❤
Happy Trails To You, Daisy, And Miguel!!
💕
Of course there are no excuses and no justification for despicable acts like that. And yes you can judge by country. Like someone who lived in many countries, i can absolutely say there are patterns. And Spain is the worst of the worst. Bulgaria is the poorest country in Europe and you will never ever have shit like that happen. I leave things out and no one takes them. And all peoptfeel safe traveling in this country. So it's not about being poor. It's the dark energy lots of demons over there. Horrific
Just be true to your heart people will love both of you just the way you are.❤ Read 2 Timothy Chapter 3 you will be surprised at the content. You are both good people.❤ Every Cloud has a silver lining.That Police man is lovely. That’s your three things done xx
Yeah he was such a lovely guy ☺️☺️ just one of those things..it happens ☺️
LOVELY COUPLE, SUBBED.. YORKSHIRE LASS ?
Aw thank you so much ☺️ yeah Yorkshire 😊😊😊👍👍👍
Probably done it because it’s British plates. If I was you I would tint the side windows
Could be, never had an issue before though but yeah a possibility
Don't beat yourself up, as it is in Europe nowhere is safe, thousands in gangs with no to little values so little point in understanding them.
Good job it was just the window and they didn't get in the back or fired it up just for the fun of it. I have lost count how many back windows and quarter lights and door locks I have had to replace and as you know I live in Bristol, but it always sickening when it happens. As for feeling sorry for them Reece do that after you have given them good smacking. Stay out of towns you two, to many nutters about now not to. Always hope for a better tomorrow and move on, as some people are not worth the time to get upset about.
Yeah we soon bounced back we always do 😊 can’t let them win can you. Yeah we will be avoiding cities from now on apart from Bristol 😂 Bristol is epic
The service you received…or rather lack of is disgraceful.
It was good in the end when we met Miguel the police officer 😊😊 I think it was just the shock of it as it’s never happened in all the years of travelling
👍🚐😎❤️
Just get in the van and drive it to the police station. You do t need permission. It will probably be illegal immigrants and not the Spanish.
Lot's of 'chorizos' in Spain.
It can happen anywhere, it's not isolated to city life
Very true, we just don’t like cities but yes that’s true 😊😊
You should fit deadlocks and an alarm.
Yeah we’re going to after this 😊😊👍👍👍
Don't leave anything on view in the van. This is basic stuff.
Agree 👍 but the strange thing was they didn’t take anything 🤷♂️
If the police was so amazing they'd do something to prevent those crimes, they laughed at you and you were happy because you thought he was funny. This is stupid, they are creating and encouraging this crime environment by doing nothing to stop it. Then they say a joke and you are in love. Come on guys
You really think police has the resources to investigate it? Will they in your country??
You put yourself in that situation.... Sure u know using your phone for some other bs, you shuld have parked somewhere else...paid parking sounds familiar?....And 112 is just for real emergencies, same as in the UK... if I call 999 and the first thing I ask is if they speak Spanish and try to explain my window has been smashed I'm sure wouldn't have a polite answer...
I got my van stolen in the UK, with close to 5 grand on work gear on it, went to the police and the strait away answer was if I had it covered with the insurance... Not even time to check ANPR cameras...
Parking a foreign vehicle, clearly a campervan, summertime, when you are supposed to travel with phones laptops and cash and many valuables was very stupid.....
Don't go to the cites if you don't like it, the Spanish won't help you they don't like the English, we had our car broken into they couldn't have cared less and were actually hostile
To be fair when we finally did get to the police station they couldn’t have been more helpful they were just amazing. Always found the Spanish to be extremely welcoming to be honest 😊
I love in Spain and thair is a bit more resentment against brts and most police stations in Valencia region have a notice if you have a problem and don't speak Spanish then you need a I interpretor
It's every foreigners right in spain to be provided with an interpreter
Yeah the police were absolutely fantastic in the end 😊😊😊
UK number plate,.
Possibly yeah
I think you have find the wrong market cause there are other markets were you find enormus vintisch stuf, and a good tip is always you camper on a camperplace or a parking what is monitored this is stress and not good we know but after manny years of camper drive we never in a city especially in the southern europe only on camperplaces were are camera.s or were is a guard or someelse, cause this is stupid this motherfuckers they this do. we wish you al goods and a more nicer travel in spain and maybe others.
greatings luke and silvia & fam. // the netherlands✌
Thank you ☺️ it’s a shame we missed the bigger market. Maybe next time 😀😀
That's common in Spain and especially vehicles with foreigners plate number ....do not leave your van unattended....better pay a private vigilance parking than going trough this ..... immigrants or not we are in recession and people steal more then ever
