Mad Aussie In The Arctic


G'day! I'm an Australian who traded the warmth of Australia for the wild, rugged, and freezing extremes of Norway and the Arctic Circle.

Traveling full-time in my campervan, I explore remote Nordic wilderness, uncover forgotten history and hidden gems, survive extreme Arctic weather, and share the raw, unfiltered reality of van life up north. From chasing fleeting 20-day summers 1,000 meters up in the mountains to braving freezing winter blizzards and off-grid wild camping, this channel brings you authentic adventures, Aussie humor, and honest travel storytelling.

Mad Aussie In The Arctic

The Lysefjord rescue was one of the insane moments last episode... but the van has been a different kind of nightmare.

I’ve had 4 gearbox failures in 10 months. How many do you think a van should last in the Arctic? πŸ˜‚

Full 'Harsh Reality' video drops tomorrow at 8:00 PM CEST."

πŸ“£ Quick Update from Us!
We’ve been posting weekly for almost 2 years straight β€” and we’re so grateful for everyone who’s come along for the ride. πŸ™πŸ’›

This week, though, there’s no new video. Sooty is in the workshop getting a brand new gearbox (yes… again πŸ˜…), so we’re grounded for a bit.

Thanks for your patience β€” we’ll be back next week with more van life adventures and behind-the-scenes madness. πŸ’ͺ

🚐 Drop a comment if you’ve ever had to wait on repairs while traveling β€” we feel your pain!
