Once upon a time there was a professional dancer who couldn’t afford a house… so naturally she built a bus instead. 💫
It wasn’t the most sensible plan. But then again, sensible plans rarely make good stories…
Raised by a single mum, dyslexic, vegan 🌱 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 🚌
Two years and thousands of miles around the UK and Ireland later, her story has brought her to Australia! 🦘 This time she’s built yet another tiny home (because apparently she didn’t learn the first time), alongside a new love interest 👀, and had set off to explore everything from red deserts to tropical rainforests. 🫶

BRISBANE MEET-UP!! 🌸🚌🇦🇺
Okay, this is going to seem slightly ridiculous considering I haven’t even shown you any of my travels around Australia yet 😂😭 BUT… in real life, I’v only got 2 MONTHS LEFT!! 😮
And I would absolutely LOVE to celebrate finishing my lap of Australia with some of you 🥹🌸
Sooo… Sunday 22nd November, I’m having a little Bus Off with Josie meet-up in Brisbane! 💕🥹
If you’re nearby and fancy coming along to say hello, I’ve made a little form so I can get an idea of numbers. I would genuinely LOVE to see you there!! 🌸
RSVP HERE 💕🌸

Andddd… VAN TOUR UPDATE because I know a lot of you are waiting for it!! 😭
We survived the rather questionable decision to do THREE DAYS of roughly 10-hour drives 😂 I finally got somewhere with decent enough internet, waited approximately 700 years for the video to upload… only to discover there is a MASSIVE ERROR in the middle of it 😭
Something has corrupted during the export/upload, so I’m having to sort it out and redo it. I’m really hoping to have it up early next week 🤞🌸
And YES, the Australia travel videos are coming too!! 😂 I realise the fact that I’m inviting you to celebrate the end of a trip I haven’t actually shown you yet is quite funny.
Editing Josie is approximately 4,000 km behind real-life Josie at this point 😭😂
They’re coming throughout October, November and into December, and I’m SO excited to finally start sharing this whole adventure with you 🥹🇦🇺🚌💕
But for now… BRISBANE!! 22nd NOVEMBER!! 🌸
Come and say hello!! 🥹💕

Sooo I was really hoping to have a Van Tour video for you today, as a little last-day-of-September treat 🥹🩷🌸
But apparently my laptop had other ideas… exports and uploads seem to be taking me DAYS at the moment 😅😭
Anddd our plan for the next 3 days is basically… drive for 12 hours, sleep, repeat 😅😂 so I’m not entirely sure when I’m going to manage to get it uploaded!
BUT it is coming!! Hopefully at some point over the next couple of days 🤞🩷 So keep a little eye out 👀
Thank you for being so patient with me and for always being so lovely about my slightly questionable upload schedule 😂🥹 I really do appreciate you all so much.
I hope you’ve all had a lovely September 🌸 And I honestly can’t wait to finally show you around properly!! 🥹🩷🌸

LOVEEEE THIS POLL THINGY MEBOB
(Just discovered it 🤣🤣)
So guna do another one -
Soooooo I’m thinking about doing a MEET-UP in Brisbane! (Once we have finished the lap of Australia ☺️)
And wondered who wanted / could come ?
(It will be towards the end of this year)
It will be to celebrate this lovely new chapter and to say goodbye to Australia and all of you lovelies just before we go back home to England . 💫
I’m thinking … a cute little picnic in the park (probs new farm! I love it there 😍) and hopefully have the NEW TRUCK CAMPER parked near by so you can see it in person
(Aghhh can’t wait till it’s finally finished !😅)
Anyways
Would love to know who is near by/ can travel or lives in Brisbane and would like to come 🩷🩷

From my latest video A few people have been asking where Winnie is… 🐶🤍
So I thought I’d explain.
Winnie has never actually been only *my* dog. She’s technically my mum’s dog… and our family dog.
Over the last few years we’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 I’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 isn’t the best place for a dog. So she often spends summers with Mum anyway.
Now that I’m away from the UK, Winnie gets to stay with the person she’s loved her whole life… my mum. They’re best friends, and Mum absolutely adores having her around.
I miss that little sausage every day. We FaceTime constantly (well… I FaceTime Mum 😂). I try calling Winnies name over the phone… she doesn’t really understand it, although I did manage to get one very confused head tilt once.
So please don’t worry about her. She’s incredibly loved, incredibly spoiled, and living a very happy life. 🤍
