    The Pros & Cons of Vanlife

    The Pros & Cons of Vanlife

    Hello, friends and wanderlusters. This episode introduces my partner in van- crimes, Harry. We talk about our lessons through the process of buying our van Gypsy. Hopefully, we can give an insight to anyone considering road tripping in Australia. We discuss the pros and cons of road travel with vans, 4wds and cars. All have their advantages and disadvantages, it's a biased debate as we are so in love with our van. We would love to hear about your Australia travel adventures, whether in a van, 4wd or a car.
