How much does it cost?

Hi all,

I'm sitting in my van in the early evening warmth, watching the sunlight glinting off the water far out to sea. I hear the wind in the pines, the sounds of the waves far below, and the first swallows of the year are swooping on the breeze..

People often ask me, 'How much does it cost to live your lifestyle, to live in a van and to travel with the seasons?'

Campervan Travels in Portugal | A Weekend with Chris & Rio

If you were following my blog last year, you'd know that I make longer trips in Europe possible on a budget, by arranging a placement through the website workaway.info - I then generally do this monday to friday and use my free time and weekends to go exploring. This way, what might only have been a two week trip can go on for months with a little financial planning. This weekend was no exception and Rio and I hit the road east for a change, on a mission to fill up our gas bottles and see what we could find, out in the direction of Faro..

Overlanding with Richard and Tracey Allen

I recently had a message from Richard and Tracey through my Facebook page; fellow Hiace 4WD owners and travellers, they had been on the road for some time, were just leaving Morocco and heading my way, would I like to meet up?
