If You Like a Bit of Chaos, You’re in the Right Place

Hi, I’m Helen.

This blog started in Europe…
somewhere between travel, figuring life out, and making slightly questionable decisions along the way.

Since then, it’s evolved into:

  • Living in a bus in Australia
  • Building (and rebuilding) that bus
  • Learning things the hard way
  • And sharing the reality behind all of it

So if you’re expecting a perfectly curated travel blog… this isn’t that

But if you like:

  • Real stories
  • A bit of chaos
  • And figuring things out as you go

You’ll probably feel right at home here.

🎥 Prefer to Watch Instead?

Most of this journey is on video too (and sometimes makes more sense there 😅)

🌍 The Journey So Far

This hasn’t been one straight path.

It’s been a few different chapters:

A Kombi and a Kart

I took up racing go-karts and bought my first van for transport and accomodation but it turned out I LOVED exploring in that van and I started my Youtube channel

✈️ Europe:

This was the beginning of a brand new adventure — travel, new places, and the first version of this website.

🚐 The Bus Build (Current Chapter)

This is where things get a bit more chaotic.

Buying a bus, turning it into a home, and learning everything along the way:

🇦🇺 Life in Australia

Somewhere in between building, fixing, and figuring things out…
there’s also just life happening here.

No spam. No fluff. Just real updates — wherever this goes next.

🤷‍♀️ What This Is Really About

It’s not just:

  • Travel
  • Or van life
  • Or building a bus

It’s about:
👉 trying something different
👉 figuring things out as you go
👉 and building a life that feels a bit more like your own

Even when it doesn’t go to plan.

There’s no perfect place to start.
