About us:
After meeting in New Zealand back in 2017, Beth and Jake have travelled the world, working online and creating memories.
Beth left the UK in 2014 and has been travelling full time ever since, she is the owner of www.sheisthelostgirl.com and has a passion for writing and photography.
Jake has been travelling since 2016 and during this time has perfected his photography and videography skills. He is adventurous and has a passion for the outdoors.
Having lived in various countries around the world, we decided that instead of settling down, we'd build a tiny home inside a van.
We've never done anything like this before, we have no building experience, no electrical experience, and no plumbing experience.
This is a huge learning curve for us and we welcome you to join us in this challenge.
Our Wild Horizons documents a journey of continued adventure.

It’s not that I hate England guys! It’s just that van life is REALLY difficult there! Finding water, emptying toilet, finding bins, feeling welcome in random carparks, safety.. etc! Albania felt much safer and easier in every way to do vanlife ❤🎉 - Beth
Scotland on the other hand, is incredible for van life and has all the services you could need!
Citronella incense sticks also stop mosquitos and flies coming in. If you are not into incense sticks then you can get a oil burner and buy some citronella essential oils. Great video!!!
We love incense sticks but always found them too strong in the van as the wind just pushed the smoke into the van haha, but yes Beth has loves her diffuser now!
So much love for Into The Wild!!! It's been my favourite film since I first watched it. I cried for about an hour at the end, when I realised there was a crossing so close. Such a great film, I need to watch it again now :)
Experiences & food!! Yesss!! Also... the pic of you two when you first met is priceless! Enjoyed watching this, even though I already knew all the answers hee hee! Big, big hugs xx Tania
Thank you Tania! Haha, we’ve changed quite a bit haven’t we 😂 x
nice to have seen you guys, good luck and be careful and send vids if you can. Been fun watching, you're a great couple
Yaaasss I love the idea of your animal sanctuary in the future!!!!! When I retire I want to have one too
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 😊
I love listening to your Q n As😊 ps do you think that fly zapper would get rid of those tiny thunder bugs?
Maybe, if they’re attracted to light, our one has a light and a stand. Or you could swoop at them they’re not too minuscule! 😀
Loved it as always! Can’t wait to see you guys backpacking Morocco, I bet that will make you guys spark ⚡️
Thank you Nic! We’ll have to get some tip off you from your trip there 😀
Where did you get your mosquito zapper from? Think we're gonna need one of those come summer time!
In Spain and Italy they have these shops called “China shops” and we got it from there, just saw it by chance and thought it looked good. But my Mum has one she bought online, I think they’re called Fly Zappers. It helps so much!
Nice video guys! It was nice to meet you! Btw, who was keeping the engine running next to you? 😀
It was lovely to meet you too! Haha, oh that might have been the waves as we were parked on a beach while we filmed this!
Haha why don’t we see more of the man 😂 love that. Good to hear from you guys. Looking forward to your back packing vids. Callum & Tash x
Thank you guys! Hope you’ve been well and are preparing for the Etsy Christmas rush!
@@OurWildHorizons yes v busy.. the business has pretty much doubled
England is awful in general as a traveller/vanlifer. I agree. We can’t wait to leave to venture in to Europe
Isn't it just! As soon as you cross the channel there are so many rest stops, parking spaces and getting fresh water is so easy and convenient. You'll have an amazing time when you leave, I'm sure!
It’s too bad you couldn’t put your van in storage while you’re backpacking. Then you’d have something to go back to.
That’s true, nothing set it stone yet though so might still be an option 😀 Thank you for watching!
Not to sound harsh, but it seems you two jumped on a trend and didn't think it through. Just because it works for some, doesn't mean it'll work out for you. By listening to your answers, backpacking is more your style than the van life. I do hope you find what your looking for and may best wishes come to you both. Thank you for sharing.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. We didn’t jump on a trend though! Beth first lived in a van in 2013. And then again in 2015. We’ve lived in a few different vehicles together now 😊
But yes, we definitely prefer backpacking 🙏🏼
