Van life in winter isn’t always cosy mornings and aesthetic sunsets.
This is my third winter living in a van in the UK ..and this one stretched me more than I expected.
Between relentless storms, cabin fever, mechanical setbacks, and the pressure to “reset” in January, I found myself feeling stuck and overwhelmed.

In this video I talk honestly about:
• Winter van life in the UK
• Cabin fever and seasonal motivation
• Storms and mechanical issues
• January productivity pressure
• Learning to work with the seasons instead of against them

If you’ve been feeling less motivated, less productive, or just a bit “off” this winter..you’re not behind. You’re human.
Spring is coming 🌤️
