Scoucers in a van.

Cullpepper

There has just been a story on the local Bbc news about a couple who have sold everything they had, and converted  an old van They're living a life of adventure, driving wherever the road takes them. The girl said she was managing to work from home (The Van)

I've seen lots of videos on YouTube of people doing that, but they all seem to be in America, I think these are the firsr English ones i've seen.

Check out their webpage....... scoucers in a van. Do you think you'd have the bottle to sell up, then go and live on the road, Maybe with all this talk about the cost of living, and people not being able to afford rents & mortgages, maybe the alternative lifestyle is the way to go. I think it may be a good thing for the young ones, but couldn't imagine me doing it now.

  • I've been tempted to do this. I have a boat so not a van but it'd be interesting to see where the road (ocean) would take me ... I often think of doing this but so far never had the bottle, maybe when I'm older. In the meantime I'll continue reading and watching other's journeys and see how it worked out for them. But one day I know it'll be me. This world is big so big but our lives are tiny and we don't have time for everything it has to offer, that's why I want to do this get out there and see what's on offer. Exploring is my dream. Escaping the hustle of every day life is another dream.

    I  learnt to sail about 25yrs ago. After a worh accident i was having physio on my hand. Went the hospital one week and the physio said to me, i've got something  for you, and she gave me a leaflet on windsurfing lessons. I said, you're joking, but she insisted pulling on a rope would be good exercise for my hand. So off i went to the docks in Liverpool. I spent more time swimming after falling in, but they also did dinghy lessons, so i switched, you never fell in as often. Anyway after some lessons, i found a local club. Sailed Enterprises with someone else from the club, then switched to solo, first a Topper which i'd learnt in on the docks, then bought myself a Laser. I use to read all the magazines in the clubhouse about people who had built their own boat, and set off around the world. Now wouldn't that be exciting.
