Author Archives: It’s finally happened: we’re back on the road! Our hiatus was longer than planned, and it has been over three months since we’ve lived in our tiny home-on-wheels. I expected a transition, but I didn’t expect it to be THIS challenging. Would I be able to get used to our nomadic life again? Would I be able to live in a camper van after living in a real house? I’m not so sure…  In this final edition of This Overlanding Life, we describe a typical day in the life of two long-term overland travelers. It’s no easy feat, for no two days are the same. But typically our days come down to tourism days, driving days, and homemaker days. Read on to understand what the overlanding life is really like.  Totoyaya is our home-on-wheels (and has been, in Bruno’s case, for SEVENTEEN years!). Join us on a complete tour of our home: its engine and chassis, our solar panels, tires, and diesel tanks, our bed, storage area, and kitchen. Our home might be simple, but we love it and are excited to finally share it with you!  I never cease to find it amazing how you can return to a place you’ve visited before and have a totally fresh experience. That’s how it’s been for me in France these past five weeks. Between new people, new places, new twists, and a few budding traditions, our time in France has been as interesting and special as always.  This post is all about comparisons: living in a camper van vs. living in a regular home; traveling in a camper van vs. traveling with a backpack, bicycle, or motorbike; and being a camper vanner vs. being an expat. Camper vanning is the right travel and lifestyle for me. Maybe after reading this, you’ll come to the same conclusion?!? |
