Hi there ✋
After one year of sharing my experiences of vanlife and travel through Europe, I thought it's about time to introduce myself for the few new faces who are following along now ☺️

I'm Emma, I'm Irish & I'm 27 years young and I left Ireland in June 2021 in our van Shirley in what has turned into one of the best trips of my life!

I've always been curious to travel, in fact, I moved to Madrid when I was just 17 to work as an au pair for a summer! It's only now I realise how young I was, but there was no stopping me! 🤭🌍 Since then, I spent one year travelling Australia by van, and a further year exploring Asia on two separate trips. I explored Asia as a solo traveller and bought my first van and converted it myself, all before meeting my lovely boyfriend Kevin 🥰

Before leaving Ireland, I was working for a fantastic free counselling service @northweststop, I absolutely loved my job but after working through several lockdowns in a mental health organisation, I needed a break for myself. I sold my own smaller campervan and bought a bigger one with Kevin, and we came up with a 'covid proof' escape plan together!🤭 We worked day and night between Jan 21-Jun21', turning our van into our future home, and set off for our trip.

I've been using Instagram to document my travels along the way, the highs, the lows and everything in-between. I try to give a realistic reflection of what travel is like for me. I like to share cool destinations you might not of heard of and any travel tips I learn along the way.

So if you're reading this as a new or existing follower, thank you for following along! 🥰 And if you enjoy following my journey you can really help me by sharing my post with a friend or on your story, it makes the time and effort I put into this blog all the more worthwhile ✌️🤍
