This travel vlog I am doing solo female vanlife. I see what it is like to go solo and spend a couple of days in the Sussex countryside. I get to experience the worst of vanlife when someone steals my spot and breaks my table in the process. Apart from that, it was a great experience of solitude in nature with kayaking, a campfire and a trip to the bluebell railway. I would love to do solo vanlife again but on a bigger adventure next time.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans UA-cam channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

I found Beans a week ago, and love watching your channel. I have been considering living in a van for the last year. I purchased a van in May, and plan to give notice in August to both my leasing agency where I rent and my part-time job. I just turned 63 last week and I'm anxious to begin my journey. Wish me luck 🤞!
Oh, I really hope things are going well for you Donna! This is my longer-term plan (I'm only 44 at the minute so have a few more years to work to pay the mortgage off first).
@@menopausalmotorhomer Things are going mostly as planned. I'm heading to Quartzsite AR in the middle of this month. I'm in Colorado now at my daughter's, needed new brakes. Ugg. Best of luck to you! I'm so anxious to begin my adventure.
Arrgh, pitch stealers! I thought you were very restrained, especially when you found they'd broken your table. That's probably the point I would have confronted them. Entitled, horrible people like that will eventually get bitten by karma. Love you both and always look forward to watching new content. x
Being English, I won’t say owt to them. I would go and complain to the site owners for them braking my table.
I wouldn't have the courage of a confrontation being a woman alone but I agree with Tammy. I would definitely inform the site managers of what happened. Karma will bite them in the ass eventually. Glad you didn't let it ruin your experience. Love from Vancouver 🇨🇦.
Wnakers everywhere . Why do people do it ffs aghhhhhhhhhh
@@davidf2118 Wow, so you think it's abandoned stuff, but you'd pick it up and dump it somewhere else?? Leaving a table and chair out to keep your spot is standard practice and who are you to say it's old and tatty?? There's no excuse for it ... it's simply selfish, despicable behaviour.
Yes, you'd think that in the English countryside you'd be safe from selfish morons ruining your happy day, but obviously not. Confrontation?...best avoided like the plague , it can lead to physical harm, even death in some cases. In this instance the chance or their moving and paying for the damaged table would've been very remote, best to just park somewhere else and move on.
I don’t know how I would have reacted if someone moved my stuff and broke my table. You handled it really calmly.
I’m glad you had a fun time.
Great video
I hope UA-cam sends you all the money and the algorithm works in your favor.
#jackerysolarway
it can be dangerous these days to confront someone but needs to be done so you're not a doormat to the world.
I'm actually really impressed Em , that you didn't let the 'Pitch Stealers' spoil your time. But in actual fact what they did with your stuff is criminal damage! And downright disrespectful! But.. on a lighter note, yes given the opportunity I'd do what you've done. I think that in any relationship, the time you spend apart is as important as the time you spend together. You appreciate each other more that way I think.
The lack of decency and basic manners in modern society is unbelievable at times . Self entitlement to the max - glad it didn’t spoil your weekend , Emma !
The solo trip was lovely!!! You are a good sport and a great bean. Thank you for sharing. I am retired and my wife is still working so when I finish my new van build I will be doing some solo trips for a couple of years as we travel together on weekends. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing trip with us!
Congrats on the solo trip! Everyone deserves their “me” time it’s definitely needed to prevent burn out. Thanks for sharing!
Way to go Emma! I think it’s very important in any relationship to have ‘me’ time and get away and push yourself outside your comfort zone.
I do a lot of mountaineering and I remember the first time I pushed myself to go solo in the Italian dolomites for 2 weeks.
Solitude is good for the sole, and it sounds like this trip has now given you the confidence to go on some more solo trips.
Love the videos you both produce, and I think you did very well filming the trip (which is another challenge in itself). #JackerySolarWay
Another great video Emma your content is so full of joy (ignoring the recent events in the USA obviously, but thankfully you are both safe). Please keep the content flowing, it brightens all our our lives through your enthusiasm and energy for life!
#JackerySolarWay
i love solo camping as well. it clears my mind. and yes u should camp solo more often. its great for the confidence
I was worried you guys had broken up until I saw Alex!
Can’t get rid of him that easily! 😂💛
@@TravelBeans 😂😂
I thought that too 😂
Within a minute of video
I traveled to Rome, Italy, for my first-time solo trip. I was terrified! With each new day, I met the most wonderful people and had amazing adventures! I decided that I liked waking up each morning and decided to do whatever would bring me joy! It wasn’t a group decision! I grew so much from that solo trip! Since then, I have visited Iceland, Italy (Train from Rome to Venice!), and Ireland! I never really feel alone, because of the people that I meet along the way. Someone once asked me how I have such great adventures, and I told them that it’s a matter of being open to new possibilities and saying yes to your fears! Thanks for sharing your first solo trip! You’re already an over comer! 👍
I just watched this while I’m on a trip without my husband. It was weird, because we love watching your videos together. It is good to get away by yourself, because it makes you feel stronger, but also makes you appreciate your partner in crime. I keep thinking, Oh HB would love this, it wish he could see this. Makes for great catch up time and storytelling. Thanks for always bringing a smile to our faces 😊
Great camera work Emma! So proud of you for going outside of your comfort zone. Well done!! The train ride reminded me of the British show Oh Dr. Beeching
You did a superb job with the camera! I enjoyed your adventures and applaud Alex for being so encouraging. I love living on my own. You are perhaps nicer than I am. I would probably knock on their van door and ask them yo help bend that table back. 😉
This is so exciting! I’d love to do a solo van trip, sounds so exhilarating to do it alone and be proud of yourself for doing it! Thanks for sharing 💕
So exhilarating! Would 100% recommend! 👌 thanks for watching 🥰💛
Oh, I'm proud of you for not only doing the solo trip and crushing it, but your poise in NOT blowing up at those people is commendable. I'm the type of person who will remind entitled people they aren't the only ones on the planet. My husband hates when I do. :) Live it up, get it off your chest, and let them know you aren't going to be taken advantage of! *I know, easier said than done! #JackerySolarWay
Emma, You’re an amazing strong woman. I am so very proud & you did so great on going solo!! ❤
Good to see you back on the road. We miss you over here in America, but know that you will be back! #JackerySolarWay
I have been traveling solo for the last 7 months. 90pc free parking. Visiting a National Trust property everyday and writing a book as I go. I am very aware of finding safe places to park up. I am 70 year old female and having the time of my life. I hand built my kitchen and when my husband was alive we renovated 5 VW's. But I need the hight of a motor home these days. Oh I would love a Jackery.
Will you be saying who won only next week as you have contacted me today to say I have won.
I'd go over to these people, and as lovely and nice-sounding as I can say ''oh, thank you for throwing away my stuff and breaking it. I hope you have lovely travels and get treated as lively as that wherever you go'', and leave.
Yes, these things effect us and it's human the get annoyed, but share the annoyance and let others be just as uncomfortable. Trust me, it does make things just a little better knowing you stood up for yourself.
I suppose there's a danger of them being aggressive
I’d say something. I’m a woman, and heaven help someone who becomes dangerous with me!
I’m polite and nice but touching someone else’s items and taking a spot which obviously was taken is just not on. Yes, you get assholes but most people will be shocked to be confronted on their nonsense.
Brilliant! I used to work as a waitress when I was young, and a wise older waitress once told me, "when you get a mean customer who's treating you badly, should you get mad and give 'em hell? Absolutely not. You kill them with kindness. You treat them in a manner so sickeningly sweet that you kill them with sugar poisoning. Trust me, it works! You go away from the experience feeling fabulous, and they end up deservedly frustrated that they weren't able to hurt you like they wanted to." And of course she was right. It's also super funny in retrospect, so the memory becomes most enjoyable.
@@biddiemutter3481 there is always that danger but if you don't go in with guns blazing to begin with then there is more chance of saying what you want to and walking away.
@@sandieM27 that's possible, I agree. But I would still be wary of approaching someone who thinks it's acceptable to pick up someone else's belongings and dumping them, especially when there aren't other people around.
🦉 Emma. I was thinking the exact same thing when you boarded into the first class cabin. I was waiting for a nice woman to go down the aisle saying
”Anything from the trolley, dears? Pumpkin Pasty? Chocolate Frog? Cauldron Cake?” 🧙🏻♀️
I’m glad you were able to forget that annoying incident and were able to enjoy your new site. By the way, those blueberry 🥞 looked amazing!!! I did miss the dialogue between you and Al but you did a great job on your own!!!Thank you for a great trip🌼
It’s great to see you being so full of positivity after your US trip. Every episode inspires everyone to get out there and make the best of what they’ve got! You have got your camping set-up nailed. I’d love to have #JackerySolarWay to help with charging my e-mtb in my trips into the Cairngorms. Keep up this awesome channel!
I really really enjoyed this video ! As much as we love our partners or other people's company, some self love/quiet time is absolutely okay! Cheers to you and your solo adventure ✨️ always looking forward to the travel beans next video 😁
Beautiful little solo journey. :) … I am happy when you are both together too, but if you need to be alone as-well: if you are both happy, I’m happy. I guess for me, with my husband, we tend to find ‘alone’ time even when together… I completely understood when you were kayaking and said that it’s nice enjoying something on-top-of seeing someone enjoying it, etc.
Loved this video! Im sitting in my camp spot by myself (with my two little pups) watching you, and experiencing identical stuff that you are. I love my solo van life, yes, sometimes, wanting to experience the “event” with someone else would be nice, but I do love my solo life. Thank you for sharing your solo experience💕💕
I too love solo life (sharing my camper with my two dogs also) but there is definitely something to be said when sharing the joy of an experience that I miss too...so totally with you on that.
Love the video. Well done on your first solo trip. When I lost my wife in November, we’d been travelling for years together and I swore I would continue alone, so I don’t have a choice. However, I’m getting more used to it as time goes by. I miss her greatly, but it hasn’t stopped me. Well done you. I#JackerySolarWay
I have camped alone, and I’ve really gotten a lot out of it: time alone, insights, nature discoveries. Lovely video!
Well done Emma, I love spending time alone
So love ALL your vids and trips! I’m super happy for you in doing this. Looking forward to my first solo trips once I get my van and build it out. #JackerySolarWay
@Tammy Lea
EMMA - you are such a strong, resilient woman who is able to handle just about everything. You are the definition of a 'great role model' for everyone who looks up to you, and has the privilege of watching your content. I'm so glad you did this for yourself and that it turned out to be a positive/enlightening adventure for you. Warm hugs from your Canadian🇨🇦 friend.
xoxo
Great video Emma! We love watching you guys together but it's also great to see you getting up to your own thing too, you looked like you had an amazing time and the pancakes for breakfast looked delicious!! :)
I loved watching this. :) You had so much fun by yourself which was great. :) I would have been totally p'd off if someone broke my stuff and stole my spot, but I guess I would have said something, only when you're alone, ugh. That's hard. I probably would have done the same, just found my happy place despite all. So, tomorrow I embark on my own solo journey and this video has helped immensely because I am freaked out. I'm a single mom. I have two teenage daughters and I am adopting a toddler daughter soon, so...one of my kiddos has severe special needs and she is going to music camp for two weeks, (this is a big deal) my oldest daughter is already at theater camp for a month. I'll be traveling from Los Angeles to Albuquerque New Mexico to be near my youngest daughter in case something goes wrong, I can be there, BUT this is my first time being alone in 15 years. I am so scared, I'll be in a new city without my kids. I'm excited because after the baby comes I'll probably not be alone again, but nervous as it's been so long. Thank you for inspiring me and this journey. I feel better prepared to step foot on my own adventure. :) We love to camp and do it all the time so a #JackerySolarWay would be lovely, but more this was inpsiring and helpful as I am just about to venture into the unknown...alone
Great vid well done :) You've gotta spray those rusty wheels black tho!!!
loved this video and understand how upset u are how did u finally get past that feeling . think it's nice video didn't see anything wrong with it . glad u are starting to try van life again
WOW Emma, what restraint you showed in not retaliating at the arse! I would have gone in all guns blazing and risked having my whole trip ruined, you've certainly given me a lesson!!
Thanks for taking us with you! 💜
I would have gone in all guns blazing and maybe those clowns wouldn't be doing that again, especially to solo women campers. I've been camping over 40 yrs and this does happen. The ones doing it are never the courteous one's they're always the jerks....really, breaking her things.
@@EyesRed I'm not going to justify what they did but - one, clearly they would have no idea whose spot they were taking. And two, the table seemed to be perfectly useable and the damage - if any - was probably accidental.
I LOVED this video! Glad seeing you taking time on your own, we all need it sometimes❤️ I love your videos whether with each of you individually or together 😍 #JackerySolarWay
#JackerySolarWay
Well done Emma at pushing yourself to camp alone. You’ve inspired me to think about getting a little pop up tent I can put up solo and push my own comfort zone too. ⛺️
Still saving for our 🚐
A Jackery would be an amazing addition to our camping kit. 🤞🏻
My wife and I have always had our separate activities, it's worked well for us. Now, she's in care, so I live alone. Many days I don't speak at all to anyone.
When I go off in Tin Can, it's necessarily alone. I take cameras and photograph stuff.
Love that they are doing this, love the channel #jackerysolarway really need one of these for my splitscreen as I have no leisure power at present!!
Got into following you guys as I'm converting my own van so I can have many adventures and make a ton of great memories with my little boy. Progress has been slow as I work full time and I'm a co-parent but I'm getting there now. I really like the honesty with which you guys tell your travel journeys and experiences. #JackerySolarWay #travelbeans #solobean
I loved this video! I want to also tell you that I admire you for taking time out to be on your own - it’s really essential for couples to spend time together as well as by themselves enjoying their own hobbies/friends/company. Also, absence makes the heart grow fonder ;) I hope you do it more :)
#JackerySolarWay
A relationship is like breathing; you can't just inhale all the time or breathe in an airtight room without choking. You need to exhale and have some time on your own to gain perspective.
I whole heartedly agree with your comment Julie. I really enjoyed this solo trip.
I think your solo trip was fab, Emma! I also think you handled the 'naughty' ones really well. Yes, you were mad and had all the emotions which was only to be expected but then you put that behind you and didn't let it stop you from enjoying yourself - good for you. Kayaking looked great, as did the train ride. Much love to you both.
This is so much better, more solo stuff please.
loved it! not sure if you should have confronted them about stealing your spot, I would have, but sometimes it just makes it worse. Go on more adventures alone, definitely :)
You did very well going solo. I'm glad you have patience with the people who had no regard for your table and chairs. It was wise to keep your distance because you never know what strange people are capable of.
Take care!
Ooooo, that trip looked so relaxing! I could almost feel the breeze. I would have been really annoyed as well by the site-stealers, but the more I think about it, the more I realize how miserable it must be for such selfish and inconsiderate people to have to live with themselves and each other. I hope it didn't mar your getaway too badly.
Great video, please make more! As someone who likes to take the occasional trip in our motorhome solo I know how good it is for the soul. Being able to totally select destinations, activities, food, even driving music is so luxurious. I think it’s important for you both to do it from time to time. Makes for Healthy relationship!
#JackerySolarWay love all your videos ! Great to watch and hope you manage to find and get another USA van sorted was looking forward to seeing your travels over there!
Emma, great to see your solo journey. As you know, research where you will stay to be safe but also take advantage of all the amazing adventures nearby. You did just that. Alex must be so proud and your solo adventures will truly enrich your joint journey. And your campsite being taken over? That’s a tough one. I love that you scoped them out with binoculars. Well done solo journey.
Okay! Here I was enjoying your solo van trip and then you take us with you on a steam train ride. Yes! I've always loved trains, especially steam locomotives. What a beautifully restored locomotive. Big Plus One for this video! Alex is going to be jealous of your trip.
I enjoyed your solo trip, you've done a great job capturing all of the moments!
You did a beautiful job on your van! Seriously impressive. I'm a solo mom traveler and love the feeling of freedom it gives me. One weekend it's my daughter, the next weekend it will be just me. Sometimes the cat comes with depending on her social calendar. Great job keeping your cool! Thank you for taking us along for the adventure and fun. Safe travels.
I've had the same: Went out for the day and a group moved all my stuff and plotted up where I'd been. I'm guessing it's package holidayers frustrated by COVID who don't know how to behave.
Great setup and love the #Jackerysolarway. Love the railway as well.

cool beans! #JackerySolarWay
#JackerySolarWay
I would love to get one of these as I’m going to do the NC500 in my car next year so will need to power my stuff as I do my trip #jackerysolarway
Absolutely thrilled for you, Emma! It’s very easy to stay within your comfort zone and not do things out of fear or anxiety. I found the UA-cam channel when you were first searching for a van in the US. I was so shocked and frustrated for you and Alex when Frank caught fire. Im so glad you’re still doing can life in the UK. I have dreams to build a van myself someday and watching you really gives me confidence that I could do so by myself like you did. #JackerySolarWay
Love this channel! Such an inspiration to do a solo van trip. I agree it shouldn't be some major deal, but, for me too, camping alone is quite the feat just to show myself I can do it. Well done!
#JackerySolarWay
I enjoyed your solo trip, you've done a great job capturing all of the moments! #JackerySolarWay
I'm glad you guys mentioned at the beginning of the video it wasn't a break up, lol. The thumbnail kind of gave me suspicions, haha #JackerySolarWay
Definitely feel you should both do more solo trips. It’s good to have that “me time” as a couple. You need it to develop your own strengths and see your own weaknesses. It will give you more interesting videos to share and help you personally grow. It was especially helpful to us solo females to see how you CORRECTLY handled that situation with the campsite thief and vandal. Thank you for openly sharing how you really felt, how to handle it wisely, and how you worked to pull yourself out of a funk about it to enjoy the rest of your trip. Please plan to throw in more solo trips when you can.😃Excellent job!
Well said.
it can be dangerous these days to confront someone but needs to be done so you're not a doormat to the world.
It's so nice to see you going out on your own adventure. There is safety and comfort in traveling with your partner, but the freedom of cooking whatever you wanna eat without having to consider another person 👄🤌 #jakerysolarway
Loved seeing your solo video and you did a good job filming! My boyfriend and I have watched you guys for a couple years. You have come a long way and it is wonderful seeing you so happy. We did wonder what Alex was up to though. Maybe if you do more solo ventures, you could do a couple clips of what Alex is doing? We think that would be hilarious! Thank you for continuing content even when things are rough. Love Travel Beans!
Seemed like a relaxing trip. I would definitely do a solo trip like this. The next video, may I suggest, could be a solo trip for Alex. As always, thanks for sharing. #JackerySolarWay
I'm looking at getting a van to travel around the UK with and will be predominantly on my own so this video was super interesting and useful to me! I love you guys and have been following the beans for a few years now but I really did enjoy this solo video! Emma you did well! 👍 😊 #jackerysolarway #travelbeans #solobean
Plucked up the courage to do a spot of solo wildcamping last year and it was an amazing feeling of achievement and helped so much with my confidence and anxiety.. 😊
Just about to start our own campervan conversion and the Jackery kit is at the top of our list, how amazing it would be to win one! 👍😀 #JackerySolarWay
I love my set up...hope you manage to win as it does so much for independence. Also a solo camper (with dogs) and I love it...mostly wild camping in the camper vs campsites. I've always offered to have other solo women join me to help them build confidence in being out wild camping alone as not all of them have the confidence to do so....love to bring women of all kinds into this kind of strength and empowerment
Over the many years of being with you along with your travels I feel like you're part of my family and I can't wait to see what Alex chooses when he is by himself and I'm sure it was scary but much needed Emma I can't wait to see more videos
Aw thank you Justin 🙏💛 it was such a wonderful experience and definitely one I want to do again!
Well done going alone it must of been massive challenge for you but you handled it like a pro Emma 👏👏
Great first solo vid ,your well organised .
I would love more solo content. I want to travel solo. But have not got the guts yet. Also I am disabled wich can limit possibilities and increase the cost.
You’re a joy to watch, Emma! And a much better person than I in frustrating times! I hope, all in all, that your solo experience was as refreshing as it looked. #JackerySolarWay
I’m so proud of you Emma and yet I’m absolutely not surprised that you had such a successful trip! I’m proud of Alex as well because I’d have been a wreck worrying about you! On the other hand he knows you much better than we do and I suspect never doubted you’d be fantastic.
As to your scoundrel neighbors, I was impressed with your restraint because I’m embarrassed to admit that I would have needed to at least ask them why. It occurred to me that they might have viewed your “place holder” as abandoned equipment and treated it as such. Then I told myself “NO”, they knew what they were doing. It’s best that you did what you did. I admire you even more!
Much love to you both! 💖
I don't think you have to ber embarrassed to speak your mind to people who behave so rude, as long you do it in a polite way.
@@imokaart I agree except what purpose would it have served? Either they’d have been embarrassed and would have felt horrible (Benefit of the doubt here. Also, I’m certain Emma would have felt bad for making them feel bad.) Or, they knew what they were doing but didn’t care because now they were set and wouldn’t be moving. Now what???
@@rlmartinusa so you just let people do what they want with no one saying one word about their behaviour? Like I said above, it doesn't have to be a full on fight but expressing yourself is best so that at the very least they may think twice one day. What happens one day this couple blithely moves someone stuff and then some burly brute comes back and gives them a punch in the face for their rudeness? They need to know it's not on.
That was a great vlog Emma. Sometimes it’s nice to do things solo. It’s reaffirmed what you like and don’t like about yourself. Going off and spending time on your own was something you’ve enjoyed in the past and still do. The tricky situation where the couple stole your spot was something that festered longer than it would have done if Alex was there to talk through what to do. I probably would have gone over in the middle of the night and let a couple of their tyres down 😂. I think the mini adventure was a brilliant success. well done you.
With you on that one. I probably wouldn't have confronted them because if they weren't suitably apologetic, and let's face it those sort of people never are, I wouldn't have taken it well. Revenge is a dish best served cold, in the small hours of the morning...
you did a great job with recording yourself, Emma! Inspiring to take a solo trip myself. Hope you continue to find opportunities to travel solo! #JackerySolarWay also #solobean ha ha
I really do love your videos, glad that you have the confidence to go out and do them alone too. Will be interesting to see what other adventures either of you get up to solo. #JackerySolarWay
Love, love, love this video! I’ve taken our teardrop out for solo adventures with our two dogs. My feelings are very similar-I love spending time alone, love the confidence I build from tackling the trip alone (from the drive into the forest to the set up, etc. We live in Colorado, and the access roads can be pretty tough!), but also miss enjoying that time with my husband. It’s also a good reminder of how many tasks he takes on when we camp and makes me very appreciative🥰 Thanks for another great video!
I'm just a part time car camper and I have enjoyed your upbeat channel very much. I am terrified of flattening the battery so I don't plug hardly anything into the 12V.
The jackery looks like the ideal solution so here's hoping....
#JackerySolarWay
I would have absolutely parked up next to them… Then I’d have knocked and asked if they had any pliers to fix the table… and I’d have been super polite and happy the whole time.
solo travel is good for the soul
Solo travel is great but I agree with you that sharing experiences with someone else and seeing their enjoyment does add a lot to the fun. #JackerySolarWay
#jackerysolarway I finally did my first solo trip last year and feel all the more confident from it. There's always some bumps in the road, but you come out stronger on the other side
Just found your channel about a week ago. We love watching your adventures. My husband and I want to travel in a van, too, someday. #JackerySolarWay
Loved the solo trip. England has some beautiful campsites. Sad that the give away doesn’t include Canada. I want a jackery for my RV so badly but would have to sell a kidney as they are out of my price range.
You're a girl after my own heart, you can eat. and I'm from Brooklyn, NY, I would have said something to the spot stealers!!!! that would have really boosted your confidence for sure.
Bravo!! It looks like you had wonderful experience to go camping by yourself. To know that you can do it alone. Also to venture out to go kayaking and on a train ride by yourself.
Yes I’d love to venture out and go camping on my own.
And yes I would enjoy seeing camp on your own, again.
Have a fabulous day! ❤
Great vlog, it's good to spend time on your own occasionally
As for the ppl who had the audacity to move your stuff (and break it) I fully understand that you didn't want to confront them, but maybe call the campsite wardens & let them deal with it
Good to see you didn't let it ruin your trip x
People can be so horrible, but you are the better person, because you didn’t go over and break something of theirs! Although, I was so angry for you and I definitely would have said something to them, but I am now 72 and when I was your age I would have definitely not said anything.
Very well done Emma for your first solo van adventure and for keeping your cool when those horrible people stole your pitch…imagine breaking your table!! 😡. I love travelling in our little van but don’t think I would be brave enough to go it alone. It would be awesome to win the Jackery competition, it would take our adventures to a whole new level #JackerySolarWay
Van life is so much easier with the Jackery! We have the smallest one and would love to increase our power source!#JackerySolarWay

We loved the video Emma. We love all the videos! Look forward to seeing Alex with you again though :)
Looks very peaceful when you're Kayaking. #JackerySolarWay
Nothing wrong with going solo from time to time, you don’t have to worry about the other party’s needs, no matter how much you don’t think you do, subconsciously #jackerysolarway
Aww Emma this was a fabulous video (no offence, Al!!). You're such a lovely positive nice person, it was good seeing you challenge yourself in this way. You definitely should be more confident; you built a van for goodness sake!! I would absolutely LOVE to win the #JackerySolarWay as I go camping a lot with my daughter and we would love some electricity!
#JackerySolarWay I think the new format will work wonders solo and together using a mixture of campsites with a smattering of wild camps, what campsites have you been using the past 2 vlogs they look amazing
It’s good sometimes to have just your own company. The #jackerysolarway giveaway is awesome.
Love watching your adventures. See you build your T4 inspired me to get a T4 and build a camper myself. Keep up the good work.

It's so important to have alone time. Good on you for doing it.
Great video….thanks for sharing. Could I please ask what make your little printer was at the end of the video…..I neeeeed one lol! 🥰
so u did a solo trip awsome big congrats now the ones that took your spot if that was me i would put speakers outside and crank the volume up lol one question the van looks awsome but one day are u ever go to paint the rims if not no worries guess maybe it will just add character to van
That was such a great solo adventure video I’m really surprised you didn’t say anything to the pitch invader especially after damaging your table maybe that’s me being a bit more straight to the point I mean you did leave your items there after all I have seen other campers leave a little sign when leaving there pitch for the day looks like a wet floor sign but for campers saying just nipped out be back shortly with a picture of your van it might sound silly but I guess that’s what we have to do keep up the great videos beans #jackerysoloway
