There’s no place like home. A bit of a cliché I know, but New Zealand is truely the best place for summer road trips, beaches and epic scenery. Northland (the district north of Auckland to the very tip of NZ) is an un touched gem and absolutely perfect for a 10 day vanlife trip. Dive…
Lake Como…Home to beautiful lakeside villages, Italian culture, food, wine and blissful relaxation. The perfect mix for a rad (and romantic) weekend getaway. Why? Because it’s freekin EPIC and freekin BEAUTIFUL too. Yes I’m talking about Lake Como…you know, the place where George Clooney has a home, where Brad pit enjoys his vacays and where…
One of the most picturesque and charming villages in France…Lac Annecy, oh what a treat. Picture a lake that looks remarkably like lake Wanaka in the South Island of New Zealand, but instead located in the incredible French Alps. With the lakeside town full of winding canals, cute cobbled streets and pastel coloured houses, you can expect…
Little update, while living in this home on wheels, Bryn renovated it into the best little space we came to know. In this post, we’ve included photos from both pre renovation and after renovation because our experiences in both we’re amazing. We’ve also now sold the van too 😢 We hope she’s out there in…
After watching the Quicksilver pro and not having a much of a plan, Leah and I decided we’d give Hossegor a good go and stick around for a while. The surf was on and off for a few days after the tournament and it always seemed like the weekends would pump. We settled right into…

After three AMAZING weeks cruising down the coast of Spain and Portugal, we started looking at the map to figure out a way to get back up to France. The Quicksilver Pro has kicked off in Hossegor, just up the coast from San Sebastian and Bryn being, well, surf crazy, had his mind set on…
As I day dream my way through writing this blog, it takes me back to that time at school in 5th form english class. Mr Nola, trying to describe to 32 unwilling students what an adjective is and how they should be used in an essay about Shawshank Redemption. Somehow, his wise words made its…
110 clicks down the highway and we were off. Cruising in Cassie like we always do, head out the window getting some maori air con and everything looking good. Just left the Spanish coast and headed for Porto. The second largest city of Portugal and ready for some Portuguese waves. Check out Leahs blog on…
We’re crossing the border into Portugal and I’m thinking…shit I dont actually know a whole lot about this country. Where should we go? How do you say thankyou? Is the language that much different to Spain? Are the people nice? Thoughts were running through my head as I looked at the map and tried to…
