I spent a month away from my van — and I didn’t expect how strange that would feel. In this video, I’m sharing a slower, more personal chapter of my van life journey while visiting friends in Sydney. With no van projects, no road trips, and no epic views, this month became about food, friendships, animals, and reflecting on why van life feels so grounding to me in the first place. You’ll see a super easy vegan “tiramisu” recipe, a very creepy Czech Christmas tradition involving fish, visits to vegan restaurants in Sydney, a rescue cat café, and a reminder of how much that tiny van space is actually my anchor. I’m heading back to Perth, getting ready for new van projects, installing a Charger 1 to charge my power station via the alternator, and preparing to start a multi-combination truck driver’s licence course. If you’re curious about van life in Australia, living simply, off-grid power, vegan food on the road, or the emotional side of an unconventional lifestyle — this one’s for you. Thanks for being here and sticking around during the quieter moments 💛 More van life content coming very soon. #vanlifeaustralia #vanlife #offgridliving #solofemalevanlife #veganfood #simpleliving #vanlifediaries #nomadlife #australiatravel #veganchristmas #workbreak #vanlifereal
