A Little About Us
Welcome to our channel! We are Liam and Janine, a husband and wife duo with a passion for travelling and living in a camper van. Over the years, we’ve embraced the van life, starting with vanlife in the UK with a Ford Transit camper van conversion and then upgrading to a Citroen Relay (luton) removals van campervan conversion. We absolutely love the freedom and adventure that comes with being a van life couple.
Following this we travelled to India, and now we are in a micro camper doing van life Europe
First.....😂
🎉❤
Thanks so much Janine and Liam for taking me to places I will never go. I planned to travel when I retired but health got in the way and I’m now rather disabled and unable to travel.
Your videos really help me, I’m prone to depression - well will be as I’m bipolar- but all these places you go to make me feel a part of it.
Thank you so much.
Many many blessings. 🌹
I'm in a similar situation with arthritis in knees and hip..can just about get dressed in the morning..
@@SilverBearwalker lm reduced to vicarious travel too. Medication for my heart has rendered me an invalid and l really miss travel. You are not alone friend.
This video was an editorial TRIUMPH. Cinematic for all 5 senses. ❤
@@TheMinimalistTherapist aw thank you so much 🥰✨️
A cast iron griddle pan also known as the Dutch oven is ever so handy for micro camping because of high-quality three layer enamel coating that distributes and retains heat evenly and suitable for use on all stovetops.
@@italogiardina8183 I 100% agree with you
Italy has everything, lakes, islands of all sizes, mountains, rocky beaches, sandy beaches, 4 seas, So glad you can enjoy it. Love from Liguria.
Cappuccino coffee is called after Capuchin friars because the coffee and frothy milk looked like their robes and belt…🙏🙏☕️☕️
This video brings back so many memories for me and my wife.. we stayed in Sorrento and went to the Amalfi coast, also went up vesuvius for our honeymoon ♥️♥️
Sounds like happy memories?
Yes, amazing memories.. eating plant based was tricky at times, but the Amalfi, ravello, Positano were highlights. Hope you both enjoyed it as much as we did
Love you guys so much, I am Irish and live in Verona with my Roman husband and we have two beautiful kids.i love Liam's pronunciation which was like mine when I first came to Italy, ask Google for the pronunciation,just a thought.if you both loved Sorrento then you have to go to Calabria to diamante where you can park on the beach.i know Italy and Sicily so well as we have a small camper and have travelled extensively throughout this amazing country so I can give so many tips for future travel.well done to both of you for following the Bella figura🎉
This trip is certainly doing good for Janine.Look how radiant shes looking and such nice complexion also.
Yeah!! I switched off David Attenborough when your notification came up! That's how much I love you both ❤❤ .( Still waiting for the Amalfi Coast- one of my bucket list items. )
You're the best!
We have happy memories of Sorrento, so glad you enjoyed it there. The food looked amazing, would love to try that pasta dish you cooked. You were brave kayaking in that choppy sea, not to mention the cliff jumping 😱❤
Thank you, it was really hard to leave there...resonated so much with us
There’s nothing quite like the happy face of a vegan when confronted with good food choices! ❤
Great video guys! Cappuccino isn't named after a person! It's named after the colour of the robes worn by Capuchin monks. Capuchin monkeys are also named after said monks! Such a glorious place!
So it's not named after 'Capuchin Monkeys?
@@vulgarresponse7080 No. Capuchin monkeys are also named after the order of monks because their brown fur and white heads looked similar to the robes of Capuchin monks! I only know all this because I used to sing in an acapella group called "Cappuccino" and I looked up the derivation of the name.
It actually all starts with the brown hooded robes themselves, called cappuccio. These Franciscan friars are named after their robes, the coffee after its color, and the monkeys... because the fur on their heads looks like the traditional half shaved hairdo sported by the friars. 🤔🐵 ☕
I loved this video, ur adventures are getting more exciting every week, I get to go on ur journey with u since I'm never gonna get there myself n that's why I luv ur videos so much, good luck, good health n happiness to u both, take care❤❤❤❤
We love having you join us each week
You two seem so much happier ❤🎉 wonderful journey, enjoy xxx
We love this place ❤️
Loved seeing Sorrento again in your video. It brought back fond memories. Enjoyed the Amalfi coast including Positano and Capri and a visit to Pompeii years ago.
Glad you had a great time exploring the area.
Went to Sorrento years ago when I was 14 in 1973,I loved it and went along the Amalfi coast road it was scary! Also went up Mount Vesuvius and also to Pompei then the Blue Grotto and Capri it was a holiday school trip and I am so glad my parents let me go there,lovely to see the area again😊
Been following your trip right from before you decided to auction Morgan. It’s become a Sunday tradition! But this one was so brilliant as we spent our honeymoon in Sorrento 2003. Haven’t been back yet, but will after this. Love your energy, honesty and sweet personality driven films. Inspiring.
What a great choice for a honeymoon
Wow U2 what a place it looks fantastic there ! I’ve done Scicily and Rome , but it looks amazing there and it all comes alive on a night in the beautiful restaurants , enjoy it all 👍
Just also have to say that you look stunning Janine, this trip has also done you the world of good. And you skin looks amazing 😀
Thanks so much ❤️💃
What a beautiful place and with all that fabulous food. Love their civilised attitude to dining, coffee custom, and dress code. I share your love of ceramics Janine - I bought some beautiful pieces when I was in Tuscany. How did you manage to resist? I would have failed miserably - even given the lack of space. Travel safe 😊
Haha you got it, lack of space
Who told you cappuccinos were named after a guy called Cappucin? They were having you on, I think. It comes from the colour of the Capuchin monks' robes, and the monks' name in turn came from the Italian word for the hood that they wore - the cappuccio.
This is correct! When we were in Italy my little daughter was given a CAPELINO (LITTLE HAT) as a gift from the locals.
You don't have to come back to UK you could take a ferry to Albania ans from there you have choices of other non Schengen countries.
Montenegro and Bosnia too
@@imagseer And Baghdad too .
You will love Montenegro .
My grandfather and Uncle both fought in WW2, first in N.Africa, then Italy. My Uncle, who trained at Sandhurst as an officer was awarded the DSO & and MBE for his heroic efforts. My grandfather’s regiment joined up with the famous 8th Army.
During the battle of Monte Cassino, on the Winter line, troops froze to death in their long efforts to capture it.
It’s hard to believe now seeing this, that all that took place. My granddad always wanted to return to Italy and he did go back under very different circumstances on holiday many years later, not least because he was a Catholic & carried with him a Rosary all through the war and of course went to see the Pope in Rome when it was liberated. One day I hope to visit there. 🙏🏻
Wonderful vid you look like you are having the best time makes me smile all the way through ❤❤❤
I’ve followed you for a long time now but this is the best place and video you have made amazing sorrento
Wow, thank you!
I also fell in love with Italy in Sorrento! Just beautiful, natural and beautiful.
Brings back memories of my trip to Sorrento. Such a beautiful place. Hope to go back one day and do a vlog. Great video ❤
@@Lovelifeandtravel so pleased you enjoyed it, and hope you manage to make it back there
We went to sorrento for our honeymoon 10 years ago this year. Such a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing this vlog 👍💚🌱🌞
Our pleasure 🙏

This place is definately on my travel list....looks amazing
You should!
You two look so impressed by Sorrento. So good to hear you so passionate ❤
We love it sooo so so much
I think maybe you weren’t meant to use the whole packet of the spice mix 😂 I’m not vegan but do love the meals you cook up Liam! ❤
@@BecToria_and_Co haha you could be right, was super spicy
In the Uk we call it Promenade, started by the Victorians after dinner x
Hi Liam and Janine, Thank you for a great video, I really loved how you showed us a more intimate views of the streets, shops, buildings etc. I would love to go to Italy, just love the culture and food and people, but sadly don't think I will get there., so thank you so much! Looking forward to next week!
Loved the Sorrento vlog,very beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Looks fabulous guys. On my list - Sorrento and Amalfi Coast has been a 'must visit' for years now. I'll get there!
Sounds like you'd love all that part of italy mate
@@ThoseHappyDays I know I would. Gradually working my way around Italy .... I'm still smiling from my visit to Puglia last year 😃
I've been to Sorrento playing spot the places I've been. I went up Versuvius, to Pompeii and Herculaneum. It's incredibly beautiful. The roads are crazy though, I'm glad I never had to drive on them.
This was definitely worth the wait today! Another beautiful vlog! Well done Jeanine on getting in the sea! Also Liam jumping from the rocks...scary stuff! Good advice about the rules, customs etc over there! This was such a treat to watch! Thanks for sharing 👌🤗Hope everything goes well! 😊🙏🍀❤️❤️❤️
So pleased you liked it 💗
Wow. What an episode. I felt like I was there with you.Cappuccino is named after the Capuchin friars, as it looks like their habits. Padre Pio is a very famous Capuchin friar. Beautiful views and amazing pizza. How big were those lemons! I’ve been to Rome, but there are lots of Italian towns and cities that I would love to visit . Ooh Vegan Limoncello 😋 Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and happy travels xx
What a joy!
Oh wow what a fantastic video, thankyou both x
Glad you enjoyed it
We've been to the same campsite in Sorrento - it was amazing! We took a boat from Sorrento to Positano and also to Capri and recommend it.
Wow what a great campsite! Love Sorrento, and Capri is beautiful, I would always recommend going there too! Enjoy the rest of your adventures there, stay safe on those tiny roads!! ☀️🏖☕️
Sorrento--definitely one of my favourite videos ever, you two!! ☮🕊
Yay! Thank you!
You two are joyful 🥭🫒🌺 thanks for sharing - Agree how beautiful Italy is x
@@ggibson8356 🍋💗 thank you
Sorrento looks stunning and you have captured it so well.
Thank you 🍋💗
This video was absolutely stunning! Your cinematography is top notch. You make the experience so immersive its the closest thing to actually being there. Outstanding! I have been journying vicariously with you both since about 6' months into your travels with Frida and you just keep getting better & better at how you share your experiences with us. I can't wait for your next adventure. Liam & Janine you were my first van lifers and you have definitely set the bar!
Wow, thank you!
Liam and Janine❤ what an absolutely brilliant fantastically shot vlog this week 👌what a beautiful place Sorrento in Italy is, my father and my mother went there some years ago and they always said to me it was beautiful 🤩 after your vlog I think I'll have to pay a visit, brilliant episode i really enjoyed it, thank you for such a lovely experience❤ looking forward to the next episode👌🙏❤
You really should do 🍋💗
Wow, Sorrento is stunningly beautiful and what an amazing camp site. I'm seeing so many parts of the world from your down to earth perspective, which I love. Well done Janine for giving the kayaking a go! You don't give yourself credit when it's due. Not everyone is a water baby. You're making wonderful memories, thank you for sharing them. X
Thank you 💗🍋
If you go up Mount Vesuvius and offered a stick on the way up, then try and get rid on the way down or you have to pay for it. There is a great pizzeria in the square in Sorrento and go into old town for ice cream and coffee where the locals go as it tends to be a bit cheaper.
Omg, the limoncello drink from Sorrento is just the best! I have never tasted any since tha had the same flavour. If you find it too much to drink on it's own then add to iced lemonade like you would a white wine spritzer and drink as a refreshing summer drink.
I went on the boat trip to Capri and even though it's in a lot of old style films etc, I found it very overwhelming and overrated. It's very very expensive and people will really rip you off for a drink. If you did ever go, go stocked up with your own drinks or water etc as even a bottle of water is very pricey.
One more thing, Italians love to eat at least 8 to 10 courses of food. If you do go to Naples, don't stop as the locals told us as crime is very high against foreigners unless your with a proper tour guide.
We stayed at that campsite in a hired campervan travelling from Australia.
You didn’t show the scary driveway to get in.
Still a fantastic campground though and such a lovely walk to the town.
Unfortunately, we were there in September and the weather decided to turn - we spent much of our time hiding out in our van from the pouring rain and the boat trip we had splurged on to Capri and the Amalfi coast was cancelled.
I wonder if we will ever get back there?
We did film the switchback to get in but I think janine might have cut it. But you are right that it's super dodgy
Beautiful and so glad you are both ❤ having a great time 😊.
@@debbiesmith368 thank you, we are
Brings back some great memories for us. Hopefully yo will get to see Pompeii or Herculaneum.... each is a whole day trip though!
... the joy on your faces is heartwarming 😊
❤️🙈
What a brilliant video…..good on you Janine having a go at stuff that you are worried about. And thanks for the tips too…..you have sold me on the area. Brilliant editing too. Thanks for taking us along xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks guys… looks an amazing place 🇮🇹 ❤️
It really is!
@@ThoseHappyDays can I ask what the song is that you use when those happy days ice cream shop appears on the screen? I thought it was lovely 🤗
I love watching you living your best lives and sharing your travel tips 💗 Many thanks 💗
Glad you like them!
Wow! 🤩
Great blog guys and ive had my Sunday fix and off to bed for me 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
Love this video, brings back memories. I went to Sorrento with Traveleyes. It's a company that organises holidays for blind and partially sighted people. The sighted travellers are paired up with those who cannot see, and they act as guides. It was a lot of fun. We had a coach to ferry us around so someone else did the driving. And we went on the boat to Capri. You sound as excited as I was. It is a lovely place. 🍋🍋🍋 ilona
@@meanqueensuperscrimper8908 That sounds amazing, what a great idea. So pleased you had a great time 🩷
Loved this, smiled all the way through. I look forward to your videos every week. Sorrento was our honeymoon destination 30 years ago. We fell in love with it so it was wonderful to see it again through your experiences. Thank you from down under, but originally from the midlands 😉
That is awesome! Thanks so much
When heading back up through Italy try the routes on the Adriatic side of the Apennine Mountains ...
If you are travelling back up via the lakes take a look at some of the smaller ones. Lake Iseo and Lake Orta are our favourites.
Lovely video 🙏
That was so lovely again the places you go to are wonderful. The music 🎶 is good. You both must be proud of the life you are living and for us to come along with you.
💗💗💗💗🍋🍋🍋 thank you
Not just in italy most continentals dress up in the evening especially tor formal dinnsrs
Yes but we felt more so here
Janines face when Liam takes the last bit of cake 😂😂😂
Love your vlogs! ❤
🤣🤣
I was just looking at coffee history stuff, what a coincidence! There is a wiki page on Cappuccino too, here’s just a snippet
Cappuccino
Cappuccino comes from Latin caputium, later borrowed in German/Austrian and modified into Kapuziner. It is the diminutive form of cappuccio in Italian, meaning 'hood' or something that covers the head, thus cappuccino literally means 'small capuchin'.
The coffee beverage has its name not from the hood but from the color of the hooded robes worn by friars and nuns of the Capuchin order.[This color is quite distinctive, and capuchin was a common description of the color of red-brown in 17th-century Europe. The Capuchin friars chose the particular design of their orders' robes both in color and shape of the hood back in the 16th century, inspired by Francis of Assisi's preserved 13th-century vestments. The long and pointed hood was characteristic and soon gave the brothers the nickname "capuchins" (hood-wearing). It was, however, the choice of red-brown as the order's vestment color that, as early as the 17th century, saw "capuchin" used also as a term for a specific color. While Francis of Assisi used uncolored and unbleached wool for his robes, the Capuchins colored their vestments to differ from Augustinians, Benedictines, Franciscans, and other orders.
I love Italy, my favourite country ever, amazing history.
Looks so beautiful, well done Janine for getting in the water 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Janine you look amazing with Liam’s hat 🎩 on 👍
What an amazing place
And you having a wonderful time ☘️👍👍👍👍
Hoping to go to Italy and the Amalfi Coast next year so I really enjoyed this video. it looks amazing !!!
Loved the video, you guys always put a smile on my face 😀
@@sandratollick280 makes us happy that 🥰
Another wonderfully put together video. Thank you. I'm now off to my local Sainsbury's to hunt down a Pasta alla Sorrentina mix and a packet of fregola 😛 because the food looked absolutely amazing 😜
Haha hope you find some!
I might try replicate it at some point with everyday herbs and spices we find in the UK
That was beautiful! Italy is an amazing place. The food looked wonderful. Looking forward to seeing the amalfi coast❤
Coming soon!
Awesome vlog, as usual. Thanks you two!
This was awesome guys. Nice one! 💛✌️
Thank you so much 😁
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
Whoa, those lemons were mahoosive! Couldn't believe it. The kayaking trip looked amazing. What a wonderful place. Can't wait to see the Amalfi Coast trip. As ever, beautifully filmed and edited. Thank you.
Thank you 🍋 💗
Have been to Sorrento and the Amalfi coast and it was amazing, been one of the only places we never hired a car and went on organised coach trips instead, best decision we made, have you noticed all the bashed a dented cars? On your drone shot in the first few minutes of your video the small little harbour in front of you was one of our favourite places to sit, one day we watched a guy do a three point turn on the little jetty, unfortunately he didn’t quite make it and backed off the edge and into the sea, he escaped unhurt but the fascinating thing was watching the fire truck retrieving his car and then also having to get off the jetty, spent a few hours watching this hilarious fiasco, but no one was hurt which was the main thing 😂.
@susancutts9275 that sounds like a proper Italian scene 😳
Excellent video and such incredible and beautiful scenery!!
Hope all is well, take care of yourselves
Thank you! You too!
Great video…mouth watering food and beautiful scenery 🎉
we did costa d amalfi on a cruise ship,and I was sat facing the drop on a huge coach and now I know why our side of the coach was empty,those bends and the speeds they drive eekk
Crazy
Don't worry - it's not that cappuccini aren't 'allowed' after 12pm, it's just that Italians don't really drink hot milky drinks after breakfast. Except thick cioccolato calda in wintertime. Sorrento and other tourist destinations are used to foreigners so won't bat an eyelid if you ask for a cappuccino at any time of day.
what another lovely episode . you make my Sunday evening special . what a great place . see you next week .
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks guys another great video , such a beautiful place xx
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m pretty sure you weren’t supposed to use the whole packet of spices/veg when you made your pasta dish, just 1 spoon per person. That could be why it was so very spicy???!🤯
I use these packets from Italy, and the instructions (in English) say to use just one spoonful per person.
I’m really loving this Italian tour 😊
@pj4482 haha you are most definitely correct
@@ThoseHappyDays I was wincing as you tried it, as I knew what was coming!😆
Oh my god what a beautiful place. I,m so enjoying seeing all of the places, beings I've never stepped out of the u.k. I even let my nearly 6 year old granddaughter watch your last video on how to make pasta as it's one of her favourite foods🥰
Ireally look forward to your videos and I’m now looking forward to going to Italy in October . Thankyou for another amazing video .
Lucky you! Should still be warm
Absolutely beautiful, and so is the scenery. You are both glowing. ☮️😎🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
You two are certainly having the time of your lives. I love Sorrento, it’s in my top 3 favourite places. Has the lucky new owner of Morgan been announced yet? I don’t remember seeing anything?
Yeah we posted about it, but will also share more information on upcoming video
Watch Snow&Curt to see the beauty of travel out of Shengen areas. More beautiful and exciting than Britain me thinks. ❤
Wow the kayaking at the end had my palms sweating hahaha
❤❤❤❤
So much fun
Yeah beautiful I agree but Janine I’m thinking of you as you’re so like me, the roads in that whole area, absolutely terrifying, good luck with it mate, I actually cried using those roads. They were so right about the parking. SO VERY HARD TO FIND. Don’t know about that road on a bike there’s are some crazies on it. 💕
You can also be find in Spain if underdressed
Magical Guys Hugz x 👊🦋🦋🥰
Thanks mate 👍
Italy my favourite place to be 😊 thankyou, as always an excellent vlog ❤
Awww you two are the cutest❤fantastic uplifting video.
Thank you so much 🤗
You don’t need to come back, go to Turkey and go see Cappadocia, you will love it and the Turkish people are so so nice! Spend 3months then come back into Europe 🙌🏼
