Living in a bus, travelling Europe.
We love life on the road.
It's not always easy but it is always worth it.
Who?
Hi we're Rach and Sean! Well actually, I'm Rach, he's Sean.
Also known as PolyWood Studios.
We're just two people from Birmingham that don't really know what they're doing but we're having a bloody good time anyway. We've been together for 4 years and met at work. What a cliché.
We randomly decided to quit our jobs and move into a van, we hope you'll enjoy seeing what we get up to - feel free to hit us up
for any advice if you're thinking of taking the plunge yourself!
Sean writes a damn good blog
so make sure you give it a read. Sometimes I write them too.
We post A LOT on Instagram
so check that out as well. Cheers.
Why?
It was during a brisk ten-hour drive to a friend's wedding in Scotland when the idea came to us. Travelling alongside Loch Long near West Dunbartonshire, we followed a red van and admired our astounding surroundings.
''Imagine just getting a van, converting it into a camper and travelling around places like this.''
''Well, why don't we?''
And that was the start of it...
How?
Ok so we didn't know anything about converting a van (to be fair, our knowledge is still limited) but we went for it anyway! Check out our conversion page for the boring, er.. I mean detailed stuff but basically it went like this:
- Bought a minibus
- Designed the layout
- Stripped out minibus
- Insulated minibus
- Handed minibus to carpenter to do the woodwork
- Got Rachs Dad to sort electrics and plumbing
- Sorted insurance, MOT, Ferry Tickets etc.
- Left the UK cry-laughing
