Category Archives: Location Independent 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!  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?!?  In this post, we answer transportation questions pertaining to overland travel: what documents and objects you require to drive in a foreign country, why you need a carnet de passage en douane, how to transport a vehicle on a container ship or a ferry, and what to expect when driving in different countries.  What if you get sick? What if your vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere? Aren’t you scared of traveling in X country? Do you buy travel health insurance? Do you take anti-malarial prophylactics? In this blog post about health and safety, we answer all these questions and more. Read on and get ready to cast your worries aside!  This blog post is all about money! We describe some of the ways that people fund long-term travel and we specify our own particular financial means. We also talk about what we do when money is low, and offer some tips on how to travel more for less. Read on and take the steps to make your own long-term travel plans a reality! |
