This week we finally move onto the land in west Clare Ireland and explore the wild 8 acres. We begin planning the cottage and land for our new self sufficient, off grid small holding. Overwhelming gratitude for us this week as we move in and take in our new surroundings.

We are a family of four,
Mum Annie,
DadBruce
Two children Elsie and Betsy
One dog Doug
and we decided to trade our busy life as home and business owners to chase the dream we’ve harboured for 10years.


Pickles the van
We first bought our Mercedes MWB sprinter van for £700 back in 2012 and converted it ourselves on a very tight budget! After 6 years of awesome adventures we needed to find a van that was better suited to us as a growing family of four and one all important van dog!
We all felt too attached to Pickles to get rid, so we stripped him bare and started again.
We cut the roof off to maximise our space and created what we now proudly call our home on wheels.

How did we get here
After years of saying one day, we finally realised that these opportunities don’t just land in your lap and if we seriously wanted to travel Europe as a family in our self converted sprinter camper van then we were going to have to be brave and make it happen.

We sold all our stuff, our house and our camper conversion business and landed in a dream come true.

Our timing may be a little of what with a global pandemic and Brexit round the corner but I know that when we set our minds and hearts to something we always make it work.

Now we’ve made this dream a reality there is no stopping us! our plan is to travel to new places, see new things, meet new people and learn new skills that will guide us on our journey of finding land and creating a way of life that sings to us, one where we aren’t bound to the banks, working every hour and outsourcing all of our needs. A simple way of life, with connection to ourselves, each other, the earth and our community.
