Alternative living since 2014 🌍
Hey, I’m Beth, photographer, storyteller, and traveller.
What started as a short trip turned into a life of full-time travel, slow living and chasing freedom around the world. Since leaving home in 2014, I’ve lived out of backpacks, worked countless jobs abroad, and documented the highs, lows and beautiful chaos of life on the road.
Over the years I’ve worked on farms, boats, in bars, as a cleaner, singer, online English teacher and creator, doing whatever it took to keep travelling. This channel is for anyone who feels stuck, dreams of travelling full-time, wants to build a life outside the ordinary, or simply loves seeing the world through honest, human stories.

I met up with a fellow van lifer, and we've had one of those days where we ended up chatting about absolutely EVERYTHING! 😂
Two vans, a cold mountain and plenty to put the world to rights about!
We chatted about money, jobs, toilets, the realities of living in a van, shared a few skills, did a little tour of her van, had a laugh and generally just enjoyed spending time together.
It's an unfiltered glimpse into van life, with no pretending it's all sunshine and beautiful views. Just real people, real conversations and real life on the road.
I'd love to know what you think, and as always, thank you for being here and supporting the channel. It really does mean the world.
See you in the comments!

I went out on a normal day to film a little vlog and everything just went horribly wrong :( I decided to film it anyway but things kept getting progressively worse hahaha! Remind me to not ever park on a cliff by the cost during a storm ever again 🤣
Thanks for spending this day with me guys, you were wonderful company 🤍

🚐 NEW VIDEO IS LIVE!
This might be one of those videos where I probably should have used the “delete” button a little more while editing 🤣
There were SO many little moments where I thought, “Surely I should cut that out? Nobody needs to see that. That’s far too silly.” And then, for reasons unknown, I decided to leave them in.
So what you’re getting is a cold, chaotic, completely unfiltered day of just me existing alone in my van. No pretending everything is perfect, no carefully curated version of reality… Just getting on with life and occasionally making a complete t*t of myself :)
You’ll either laugh with me or question my life choices!
It’s a cold autumnal day of me faffing about in the van, going for a wander, and running out of water.
You have been warned about the silliness in this one! 😂
Let me know what your favourite part of the video was, this helps me creating videos going forwards! And, thank YOU so much for watching! appreciate you all taking the time to support me on here :)

(YouTube LIVE anyone?) 🤭 Hello guys, hope you’re all having a good week! I’m still in Greece but I’ll be back by the weekend. Sadly, probably not quite enough time to put a full YouTube video together BUT… how do you guys feel about a YouTube Live? I was thinking of doing the usual time on a Sunday but let me know what’s best for you guys 😊
Basically it will be me going about life in the van and you guys are free to ask whatever you like/ we can have a chat ✨ let me know!

You know what nobody really talks about when it comes to van life?
All the boring, everyday stuff that actually makes up MOST of living in a van.
Like the things you don’t even think to ask about until you start wondering how on earth they actually work when you live in a tiny metal (or in my case: wooden) box on wheels 🤣
So I’ve made a Q&A answering all those little questions about the reality of day-to-day van life. Not the pretty sunsets and waking up in beautiful places, but the normal, mundane, slightly unglamorous stuff.
Because as much as I love this life, there’s a LOT more to it than what you see on camera.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s actually like living in a van, this one’s for you 👀
The video is live now! Go have a watch and let me know what you think :)
And if there’s something you’ve always wondered about van life but never thought to ask, tell me below! 💛
As always, thank you for watching my video, even if you just have it on in the background it helps me massively and means I can continue creating videos like this 🤍

Hello everyone! Just wanted to pop on here and say that there won’t be a video from me this week as I’m in Greece for a couple of weeks! I do have a video next week that I pre-recorded before the trip 😊 My trip to Greece won’t be for YouTube content, I’m having a little time away from the internet and the rainy weather. And I love a Greek island!
Also, what are the chances that I got recognised in Kos airport?! Shout out to the lovely couple who said hi to me 🤭
I’ve also managed to get myself a little behind with answering comments, but I do want to quickly mention how much I appreciate each and every one of you who watch and comment on my videos! 🤍
How are you guys doing?

I’ve lived in 5 vehicles (3 vans and 2 cars), and I’ve lived alternatively for over a decade. I'll be honest… for the first few years I had no idea what I was doing 😅 I've had freezing nights where I couldn't feel my toes. I've battled damp and flies, run out of water at the worst possible moments, spent hours trying to find the perfect park up, and made pretty much every mistake you can make living on the road.
But slowly, one small lesson at a time, life in my little home on wheels got easier, cosier and so much happier.
So I've finally put everything I learned the hard way into one video. All the van life hacks nobody talks about, but you really need to know.
Whether you're already on the road or still dreaming about it, I really hope this is helpful 🚐💛
Tell me below: are you living in a van right now, or still dreaming of it? ✨

A beautiful sunset, live music, chaotic cooking, and me getting a bit creeped out… tonight's evening routine had it all! If you like variety in a video this is it haha, really matches my chaotic nature!
New video is up now, this one's raw, unfiltered, and completely realistic, so come spend the evening with me 🤍
