Join us, Carol & Ken as we leave our little red Nissan NV200 campervan at home and take a trip to Devon, staying in a couple of AirBnBs.

🔶 About us 🔶
Welcome to our channel! Were Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our trusty camper van, soon to be upgraded to a slightly larger model.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.
Were passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. Were always learning and look forward to sharing more insights when our new van arrives in January.
While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local cuisine. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos!
Our interests include historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We strive to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.
Were not full-time van lifers, but we use our van to escape the ordinary. We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.
Our channel is perfect for armchair travelers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our Buy Me a Coffee fund, helps keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. ❤️
