FINAL DAYS with our Van… We Have a Confession (VAN LIFE UK)

After doing van life in Europe for the past two years, in just a few days, we are shipping our camper van Sophia from the UK to Canada. Our plan is a rough one, but our main goal is to drive way down south, through the States and eventually, to Argentina. We have lots to organise before Sophia leaves, including fixing a mistake we made last year (even if we had the best intentions!). Join us for a hectic week as we prepare for a completely new way of van life.

↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We’re Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (🐶 🐶 ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the past 2 years road tripping as much of Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and a van re-build along the way. But now, we’re feeling like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we’ll be shipping our van from the UK to Canada, on a mission to drive her all the way to Mexico baby! 🇲🇽 🌵

  1. So it looks like the comments we left earlier has disappeared! Youtube comments went down just as we uploaded, typical 😅 It was just a quick note to say sorry that the video is late, but that this week has been H-E-C-T-C-I-C! Feeling nervous about leaving Sophia unattended for a few weeks, but she's an adventurous soul and now, she's ready and raring to go. I feel like we're in a time warp and someone has set it to hyper speed. Feels like only yesterday we were sat on a beach in Greece announcing this trip! Lots of love and thank you for watching, see you soon! xx 💛 Chesca & Ben

  2. Good video guys! Good luck with shipping the van and have a safe flight/s, looking forward to seeing this adventure as something I've wanted to do myself EXACTLY what you're doing now for the last few years, just circumstances prevented it and the obvious Lockdowns and that so have to live vicariously through your videos for now lol!
    Cheers from London 👍😎

  3. Wow, welcome to my Country. Arriving in Montréal, even better. Let me know if you are going around Ottawa. A few questions, are you sure you can bring your van, I know that there are some restrictions for the right-hand drive vehicle. If you can bring it, that is great. Some suggestion. The Atlantic provinces. I have a property in Nova Scotia, we will be there with our small Airstream the last week of July, and the first 2 weeks of August. Let me know if you are looking for a dry camping spot. It's by the sea, across Peggy's cove. One tricky thing in Canada right now is to find camping spots. In Ontario, I strongly suggest you visit Algonquin park, if you go west. There is so much to explore here. Newfoundland and Labrador is another province that is beautiful. I am sure you will enjoy your visit, the province of Québec (where I am from) is great and the people are really nice. Let me know if you want to discuss this further. Have a safe trip

  4. Hey Guys, like yourself, I’ve been mega busy and finally I’m so happy to be able to relax and watch! Scout as the pilot is amazing.. I have not watched stranger things or tried giant skittles..yay, glad you got your flights booked. Good job on the roof rack. It’s gonna look nice that paint (as I’m writing this you’ve said it’s wrong) I’m definitely thinking that a van is never finished, there’s always another improvement to do. See you next week! 👌👍

  5. Hi Guys. I’m sure it’ll all be fine once your extended family are all back together in Sophia amongst familiar surroundings and commence your new adventure. All the best from Morocco 🇲🇦

  6. As the saying goes, if it wasn't for the last minute I'd never get anything done! 😁 So excited to see your adventure ahead. Bon voyage, Sophia!! ❤️❤️😎👍xc

  7. Good luck to Sophia, yourselves and the dogs all getting to Canada safely and starting your adventures there. That was a heavy week of work preparing. ☘️

  8. Can't wait to see the next adventures! Septum piercing looks amazing too, keep on top of the hygiene on it cause you will think its good and than it gets infected from previous experience lol 😅. Safe travels and hope the River and Scout travel well 🐶🐶

  9. Woohoo!! Off to Canada whayy!🥳🎉😄 love that. Great video this week as ever you two! That was so funny with your mother Chesca🤣😂 not a clue in the world haha!! It's mad how quickly it's all happening and coming together, I look forward to seeing what you've been up to in the next one! Stay safe, have a great week❤️ xx

  10. Giant Skittles! I've not seen them here. Too bad you aren't near Josh and Charlie's garage to put Sophia in for her final prepping, but looks like you're getting it done even though the rain got you. Paint looks good and it's always something you can change at a later date. Hey, do we get to see your mum's new dog and when does Rose arrive for your mum? Glad you got the flights all booked and now like you said you can each check in 2 bags, that will be so nice. Looking forward to seeing the newer jewelry for the nose, that was funny with your nan. Have a good week, take care.
