Travelling Australia full-time in a self-built van, giving life a real crack.

Life On The Road

Matthew Storer Travel Story

This isn’t just travel.

It’s what life looks like when you stop waiting for the “right time” and start building something on your own terms.

Living full-time in a self-built campervan has its moments — the good days, the quiet ones, the breakdowns (both mechanical and mental), and everything in between.

This space is where I document that honestly.

Not just the places, but how it actually feels to live this way — and what I've learnt along the road. If you want to see how that plays out day to day — the van, the gear, the places, and the lessons — it’s all here.

If You're New Here:

If you’ve just landed here, these are probably the best places to begin.

Travel notes, real experiences, and practical advice from life on the road across Australia.

Follow along through films and videos that capture the reality of van life, travel, and everything in between.

For brands looking to create real, story-driven content in remote and meaningful locations.

My DIY Van Build

This van wasn’t built for weekend trips.

It was built to live in — full-time, on the road.

Every part of it has a purpose.

From the layout to the storage, the electrical setup, and the small details you don’t notice at first, it’s all been shaped by actually living in it day to day.

If you’re curious how it works, why the Fiat Ducato is the best campervan to convert or thinking about building your own — everything is broken down in my full van setup.

My Written Journal

This is where everything slows down a little. The written journal is where I share the longer version of life on the road — real experiences, useful travel advice, and the places that have stayed with me most.

Over time, it’ll grow into a full library of stories, South Australia travel guides, and practical resources built from being out there and doing it properly.

The Gear I Actually Use

Everything I carry has earned its place. From cameras and lenses to van essentials, everyday gear, and the small things that make life on the road easier — this is the setup I actually use, not just what looks good online.

It’s all been tested properly, in real conditions, over time.

My Video Journal

This is where everything comes together — the road, the van, the hikes, the breakdowns, and the small moments that make it all worth it.

Every video is a chapter of the story. Not just the places, but what it actually feels like to live this way.

I’m building a growing library of practical downloads, planning tools, and useful travel guides designed to make life on the road a little easier.
