The Road Is Our Home

Vanlife, Van Conversion and Travel guides. 'The Road Is Our Home' is a blog/website documenting the many aspects of Vanlife. A collection of How-to guides, Stories and Experiences of living and travelling in a Van.

“We are Rob & Emily. We became bored and frustrated up with the repetitive 9-5 daily grind. Working six days a week to go on holiday once a year kinda felt like a bum deal to us.
We wanted something more fulfilling and enjoyable, so we converted a van into a home which we live, work and travel in: The Road Is Our Home"

The Road Is Our Home

Happy New Year to all of our friends and followers! 🎉
2019 has been a year of ups and downs, a year of growth and appreciation.

We’ve travelled the uk, from the very top to the very bottom and everywhere in between. We’ve lost family and friends and we’ve gained family and friends.

We’ve shared some of the most enjoyable moments, travelled to the most wonderful places and met some incredibly inspiring people.

Although our plans changed; we didn’t make it to Europe and I wasn’t able to finish writing the book I started last year. We went with the flow and made the most of it.

We’ve driven and walked thousands of miles, battled cancer, gained a puppy, rebuilt the van, learnt many new skills and grown stronger throughout.

But, for me, the biggest thing 2019 has taught us, is to enjoy the brief time we have on this beautiful planet.
Get up, go outside, spend time with loved ones, quit that job that makes you miserable, do what makes you truly happy.
LIVE, LOVE AND LAUGH.

Whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever you’re going through; be proud of yourself, you’re not alone and things will get better.

Here’s to making 2020 an incredible year! 🍻

Built a mirror for the van, made from some driftwood that we found at #sauntonsands beach last year.

The Road Is Our Home

2018 has been an unbelievably exciting year for us. The van is now a fully functioning home, we’ve been overwhelmed by the response to our videos, Emily graduated in her masters, we’ve been interviewed multiple times including by Mercedes Benz and even a recorded a podcast in a van, we’ve built campers for other people, we’ve made new friends and spent lots of time with old ones, it’s been a year of learning and most importantly we’ve had the love and support from our family, friends and all of you lovely people reading this. Thank you. 👍🏼
Here’s to the next chapter, let’s make 2019 a year to remember! - Rob & Emily
