🚨 Horn Fails Before ITV! Camper Chaos from Algarve to Estepona 🇵🇹➡️🇪🇸 🚨
🚐💥 WHAT. A. TRIP. 💥🚐

We hit the road from the Algarve to Estepona, Spain for our biannual ITV inspection… and things got messy real quick 😅

Just ONE hour before the test, our horn stopped working (yes, the one thing they definitely check! 🔇), then our kitchen unit floor gave out mid-journey 🪵, and finding a mechanic in southern Spain turned into a whole saga of its own 🧰.

From navigating Huelva’s hidden garages to wrestling with last-minute repairs in Estepona — this vanlife mission turned into a full-on challenge 💪

🚐💨 New Video’s Live!
Just wrapped up a little adventure along the stunning Algarve coast in my VW T3 — and I’ve got a new video to share!

This one’s all about life on the road:
✅ A planned exhaust system repair to keep the van running strong
✅ A full interior transformation with a brand new floor (goodbye old vinyl 👋)
✅ Some chilled-out yoga sessions to keep the body and mind in balance
✅ And, of course, some beautiful coastal drives through Portugal 🌊

No breakdowns this time — just preventative maintenance, DIY upgrades, and a few peaceful moments mixed in. If you enjoy van builds, road trips, or seeing how I’m slowly turning this T3 into a true tiny home, give it a watch!

🌍✨ Just dropped a new travel video from the Algarve! 🇵🇹🌊

This trip was not your typical getaway. From peaceful retreat vibes 🌿 to a full-on nationwide blackout ⚫ (yes, the entire country lost power!), it turned into an unexpectedly powerful experience.

I captured it all — the quiet moments, the chaos, the medieval madness in Lagos 🏰🎭, and some deep reflections on how reliant we’ve become on the grid… and what happens when it suddenly disappears.

Just dropped a new video from the road!

After crossing the border from Spain into southern Portugal, I took the VW T3 on a slow and scenic journey through the Algarve — chasing fresh water springs and soaking in the coastal magic.

From rugged cliffs to crystal-clear beaches, this stretch of coastline never fails to blow me away. Mixed in a few quiet camp spots, some mechanical reflections on the van, and a bit of insight into what’s coming next for the channel too.

If you’re into vanlife, hidden springs, salty air, or just want to virtually escape for a bit — this one's for you.

dropped a new video from one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever been—Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the northern tip of Africa.

In this episode, I explore the city’s vibrant streets, stunning coastline, and even get swept up in the powerful Semana Santa (Holy Week) processions. It’s a mix of history, culture, and pure travel spontaneity.

Oh, and there’s a twist: I had to figure out how to get back to mainland Spain… and it wasn’t exactly simple.

Check it out if you're into hidden gems, coastal views, and a bit of travel chaos.
