A Girl and Her Van

Candice never really saw herself owning and living in a house. Van life started for her while travelling for a year and a half. she ended up buying a beat-up yellow van with her partner a 6"3 large Brit and framing themselves in it for 10 months. It was hard but also one of the best decisions they had ever made. It was amazing wakingup beside the ocean or in a secluded campsite.

Waking up not knowing
wher you'll be sleeping next! Due to
Covid they had to cut out Australia
travel plans short. Sell the van and
head back to our separate countries
until things get back to a more normal time.
At least until international travel opens
up again and her other half can fly over
to help. She have very minimal skills so learning everything as she go and
borrowing tools from her dad's workshop helps!


That was one of those days where she had the best intentions of getting lots of work done on the van... but the day didn't go that way. She had a lovely, sweat inducing happiness. Van build day 57! She was going to take a little hiatus from building this week as her sister and her gf are here to visit for the first time since She came home. The look of trying to avoid dealing with all those wires... just kidding made those wires her bitch today She have maybe 5 wires that I have no idea what they are for so one more day to sort those out! Excited!

when she was not travelling she was a makeup artist. she really like painting and
recently started doing some larger murals. She like cycling and recently cycled 2600km
up the country of Vietnam. From Mekong Delta to Hanoi. She is older than I seem... 32.
It's something out of her comfort zone but also there's a sense of accomplishment at
each step. Something interesting about her van: She hoping to build a tub in it! It's 16ft if
cargo space so hopefully one dayI she will have an adventure kitten in there with me as well.
