Hi we are Nikki and Billy. We used to spend our days dreaming of retiring early and travelling more full time in our van. That dream has now become a reality this year. So this winter we took EARLY RETIREMENT, got married and headed to the sun THE SAME DAY for winter in our Auto Trail Expedition 68 CAMPERVAN.
We’ve taken a hit to leave early so we are trying to manage VANLIFE journeys on a BUDGET.
And best of all our winter trip introduced us to PABLO our RESCUE DOG.
We’ve got lots of festivals to do this summer where we are either talking or Billy is singing. Then is back south as far as MOROCCO again for winter.
We’d love you to come along on our adventures with us and see how we get on.
If you like any of the gear we have used in the videos you may find it in our Amazon store. As an Amazon associate we benefit from any purchases.

Well look what we are doing next? It's Vanlife Fest at the Hall! Are you going? If you are we will see you there. What's more Billy is playing at 4pm on Saturday in the Coffee club. And that's not even the most exciting bit. Look who's on before him! It's only @TheSlawsAdventures in the flesh. There may also be a special never to be seen again thing happening at the coffee club that afternoon. But you'll have to be there to see it.
And that's not all. There's a second completely different set from Billy on Thursday for those lucky enough to have paddock parking. He's going to have a lot of songs to remember.
If you see us wandering around come and say hi to Pablo. We all know he's the one you really want to meet. We will also have some limited numbers of stickers, but more importantly we need yours to cover Billy's guitar case for this winter's trip. See you in the field.

In the lakes for a few days. The joys of early retirement, you can go mid week and avoid the mad weekends. Downside it’s a bit moist this week. Upside we’ve just found a brilliant pub we’ve never tried in all the years hiking here. Ullswater Inn. Lovely
Hope you are all having a great week and have a great bank holiday

Another little milestone as our subscribers have got to 7000. Thank you to everyone who takes the time two watch us two useless oldies. Although we know it’s only to see Pablo :)
We love interacting with people and have made loads of new friends on line and in person because of these videos. But there’s so many more of you to get to know still. So we would love to hear from you in the comments so we can get to know you all better. If your a dog owner who lives Spain definitely check out our latest video.

WIN A SMALL POWER SOLUTION.
So it appears our @aferiy_official P210 has given birth! We are now proud grandparents of an Aferiy Nano. When we get a chance to get away in the van we will show you what it and its accompanying 100w solar panel can do in more detail. But even more exciting you’ll have a chance to win one yourself if you’re in the UK. Keep an eye out for a future video on the YouTube channel.

That’s a wrap. Massive thanks to everyone of you that has followed our journey. Lots more fun and adventures to come this summer. We’ve still got a backlog of vlogs from Morocco and our journey home, so keep watching for more useless tips and ideas. And don’t forget if we can do it you can, so get traveling, retire early if you can and make the most. You can always go back to work but you can’t get the time back.
Hopefully see you for a beer somewhere this summer in the UK.
Lots of love x
Nikki, Billy and of course the gorgeous Pablo

Wow! We are presently sat in a Tabac in France on our way back from our big winter adventure to the Sahara from Yorkshire. To each and everyone one of you who is following our journey we are raising a glass of beer and saying thank you. It still humbles us that you are following our journey.
Our latest video is up but we’ve done something wrong on the upload so you may not be aware. Anyway have a look and let us know how many camels you think Nikki is worth.
We will be back in the UK next month and hopefully will meet more of you around the UK this summer. If you see us come say hi as the people we have met through doing these videos makes it all worthwhile.
Billy will be performing at Vanlife Festival at Shrewsbury and Vanlife at the Hall in Malton. Come say hi and have a beer with us if you’re there.
Ever way have a great summer what ever you’re up to.
Lots of love
Nikki, Billy and Pablo

Well that came around quick. We just want to take the time to say Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas what ever you are doing. Hopefully next year we will get to meet even more of you in person on the road, and maybe grab a drink.
So in YouTube world we are in Spain. In the real world we are on the Atlantic coast in Morocco at a place called Magador Oasis for Christmas so Pablo can run up and down the beach. We’ve even booked Christmas dinner not realising as a French owner site that means Christmas Eve :) Oh well tomorrow we will finally get rid of the smelly cheese in the fridge. It stinks. There may even be home made pigs in blankets.
Once again have a great Christmas. We really appreciate everyone that follows us or interacts with our journey.
Love
Nikki, Billy and Pablo

We are at Algeciras having done a day full of vets, shopping for stinky cheese and pork (and maybe some alcohol) and a walk to the beach with Pablo. To top the day off we were notified we had reached 4000 subscribers. A massive thanks to each and every one of you who have subscribed and are watching our journey. Keep watching as we will have lots to show you as we start our winter journey in Morocco.
Thanks again we really appreciate it.
Hopefully see you on the road sometime x

Bit of a change of plans. It means we will now be at Camping Raco from 25 of November for 4 nights. Meeting our mate for her birthday. If anyone is there or Benidorm at the same time and fancies a bevvy :)
