Bus Off with Josie 

Once upon a time there was a professional dancer who couldnโ€™t afford a houseโ€ฆ so naturally she built a bus instead. ๐Ÿ’ซ

It wasnโ€™t the most sensible plan. But then again, sensible plans rarely make good storiesโ€ฆ

Raised by a single mum, dyslexic, vegan ๐ŸŒฑ and blessed with an alarming amount of optimism, Josie somehow swapped her life on the stage for outdoor adventures and cosy nights by the fire in her little bus ๐ŸšŒ

Two years and thousands of miles around the UK and Ireland later, her story has brought her to Australia! ๐Ÿฆ˜ This time sheโ€™s building yet another tiny home (because apparently she didnโ€™t learn the first time), alongside a new love interest ๐Ÿ‘€, before setting off to explore everything from red deserts to tropical rainforests. ๐Ÿซถ

From my latest video A few people have been asking where Winnie isโ€ฆ ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿค

So I thought Iโ€™d explain.

Winnie has never actually been only *my* dog. Sheโ€™s technically my mumโ€™s dogโ€ฆ and our family dog.

Over the last few years weโ€™ve shared her. I usually have Winnie over winter because living in the bus is lovely and cosy. She adores curling up by the log burner, and if Iโ€™m honest, I quite like having a little four-legged security guard when it gets dark at 4pm.

In the summer though, it can simply get too hot in my bus . Even with all the windows open, a camper without air conditioning isnโ€™t the best place for a dog. So she often spends summers with Mum anyway.

Now that Iโ€™m away from the UK, Winnie gets to stay with the person sheโ€™s loved her whole lifeโ€ฆ my mum. Theyโ€™re best friends, and Mum absolutely adores having her around.

I miss that little sausage every day. We FaceTime constantly (wellโ€ฆ I FaceTime Mum ๐Ÿ˜‚). I try calling Winnies name over the phoneโ€ฆ she doesnโ€™t really understand it, although I did manage to get one very confused head tilt once.

So please donโ€™t worry about her. Sheโ€™s incredibly loved, incredibly spoiled, and living a very happy life. ๐Ÿค

Hellooo โค๏ธ
Just popping on to say there will be a new video before the end of the month ๐Ÿ˜Šโ€ฆ so keep a look out for the next few days over the weekend โ˜บ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ

Things have been a little slower behind the scenes lately while Iโ€™ve been juggling a lottt of life/admin/expensive fuel lol / the course I was telling you about / editing ect ect , but Iโ€™m finally getting there and Iโ€™ve got a video ! And should be back on track for monthly uploads from here on out for the rest of the year ! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Thank you for being patient with me - genuinely. I know I disappear sometimes when life gets messy behind the scenes, but Iโ€™m still here ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

Very excited to share what Iโ€™ve been up to soon ๐Ÿ‘€

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ’›

Just wanted to check in - I know I usually post a video every month, and I missed April, so thank you for being so patient with me. I really appreciate it.

Things have been a bit slower lately (fuel prices have been wild, so travel hasnโ€™t been as easy), and I was also figuring out what to film nextโ€ฆ but Iโ€™ve actually landed on something I think youโ€™re really going to enjoy.

The next video (coming in May!) is going to be a proper โ€œday in the lifeโ€ - just real, simple everyday stuff like chores, washing clothes, and what life actually looks like behind the scenes. I know a lot of you love those kinds of videos, so Iโ€™m really excited to share it with you.

I also started a course recently, and itโ€™s been a lot more full-on than I expected - in a good way! Iโ€™m really glad Iโ€™m doing it, but it has meant I havenโ€™t been editing as much as I normally would.

Just wanted to say Iโ€™m still here, and Iโ€™ve got something nice coming your way soon. Thank you again for sticking with me - it genuinely means a lot.

Sending love from me and Winnie ๐Ÿพ see you very soon!
