My Van
My Van — The Self-Built Campervan I Live in Full-Time
My Home On Wheels
For years I chased the things that lit me up — travel, adventure, the kind of experiences that make you feel alive. But when I came back to Australia and tried settling into a ‘normal’ routine, something felt off… like I was living a life that didn’t fit anymore.
What finally made sense wasn’t settling down… it was building something I could take anywhere - So I built a van.
Piece by piece — with my old man, a few questionable decisions, and a whole lot of learning — this campervan became more than a project. It became my home.
Today I live full-time on the road in this self-built campervan: waking up in the desert, parking in the mountains, chasing quiet places where stories live, and giving this new chapter a proper crack.
This page is a tour of the home that makes it all possible. The layout, electrics, upgrades, mistakes, and everything that keeps me rolling across Australia.
If you’ve ever wondered what life might look like with four wheels, a dream, and no fixed address… here’s the honest version.
