Wandering Far & Wild in a Handbuilt Vivaro
A journey that stretches beyond the map
& deep into the self.
The Van
What began as a simple idea to transform a Vivaro into a mobile haven is quickly evolving into a grand adventure. This journey is about embracing the unknown, finding joy in the unexpected, and creating a life filled with freedom and light. I hope to inspire you to find you own path and to wander endearingly through life.
The Woman
Seeking the joy of choosing where to be on a whim, grab the keys and go. Choosing slow adventures, micro joys and wild moments of exhilaration dipping into freezing waters.
This is the beginning of my Joy Project, choosing positivity every step of the way.
The Dog
She is my little velcro shadow, quietly padding through life in her own sassy madam little way. She is my & co, so when we mention ‘our’ adventures. She’s my wee beastie by my side.
She’s my teacher to accept the moments: the joy, the mundane, the ordinary and the wild.

Little Moments of Joy
Anecdotes of Light
One evening, as the sun sank below the horizon, I found myself slowing down to sit on a rock to look at this view and remind myself to breathe and to be.
Leave the thoughts, let them go and feel the calm, the breeze, the warm light and watch my dog chasing flies. Spring was just beginning in 2025 and life is happening right now, pay attention to this beautiful moment.
