Our goal was to be fulltime #vanlifers and on the road in #newzealand by 31st April 2024 and here we are with a half build van and no money left!

In this video we show you what we have been up to #life #theplan and #thevan #vanconversion

We are Louise and Kelly, a married couple from Christchurch, New Zealand and Iceberg is our future home. She is a 2023 Mercedes Sprinter 170 Extended AWD with a Super High Roof. Back in 2020 we had a MidCovid Life crisis and decided, like most of the world, to make a plan to leave our jobs and do what we love. For us its travel, bring on full time travelling by 2024. (It was 2022 – but that’s another story!)

Follow along as we prepare the van, house, belongings and savings because trust us …..it doesn’t take two weeks (like most portray) to quit your job, sell your belongings and hit the road, as we are finding out !
