]]> If you’re a lover of nature and the wonderful outdoors, then traveling with a tent or van are an ideal way to experience these joys. Sleeping in the wilderness and waking up to nothing but nature is the greatest feeling for many people. However there are some drawbacks, and preparing and cooking balanced, tasty meals can be one of them. There are so many aspects to consider when choosing food, but a big one for many people is protein and this can be harder to factor in when camping. Here are some simple ways to ensure you’re getting a protein hit with your meals.

Bring Tinned Pulses

Tins of pulses are your best friend when cooking while camping. They are super healthy and really easy to prepare. They’re also very versatile and can be used as the base for many meals including pasta, salads, and sandwiches. They are also excellent sources of protein, making them perfect to bring along on your trip. 

Opt for Nuts and Seeds for Snacks

If you love to snack between meals then try to bring high-protein snacks with you. Instead of chips, bring some salted nuts or a bag of mixed seeds. These will keep you feeling fuller for longer and contribute to your protein goals.

Don’t Forget Fish

As well as tinned pulses, tinned fish is an ideal way to get some healthy protein while camping. You can choose from a range of fish types, such as tuna, sardines, mackerel, and much more.

]]> Converting a van is such an exciting project to embark on. Having a vehicle that you can drive anywhere and sleep for the night is a super fun way to travel and explore the world, and converting a van yourself means you can choose exactly how you want it to be. However, there is so much to think about when planning this out. Here are some ideas that help make the most of the space and give a lovely cozy feel. 

Slide Out Shelves

This is an amazing way to make the most of the space you have. You can have one that comes out of the back which can be used for your kitchen space, or have overhead ones for extra storage. 

Multi-Purpose Items

Another great way to use the space most efficiently is to have items that serve multiple functions. For example, you could have a sofa bench to sit on during the day which then slides out or folds down into a bed at nighttime. 

String Lights

This is a perfect choice for some cozy mood lighting, as they give off a lovely gentle glow but can be placed in whatever way you like, meaning your lighting options are versatile and adaptable. They are easy to put up and remove anytime so are ideal for van life.

]]> Traveling by van is a super exciting way to explore areas and see the world. Many lovers of the van life are obsessed with nature and love being able to park up in a secluded spot surrounded by stunning sights. However, sometimes when parking in a spot there can be factors that make it better or worse to sleep. Here are some things to look out for when choosing where to park up. 

Are You Sheltered From the Wind?

When you initially park and get out, it may feel like a slight breeze is manageable. Of course, a gentle breeze is, but don’t be too complacent if there is a fair amount of wind around. When you are trying to sleep later, the noise of the wind and the rocking of the van will likely keep you awake much more than you might imagine. 

Are There Houses Nearby?

Sometimes you think you are in the middle of nowhere but it turns out there are some homes just around the corner. Most people would rather not have someone parked up near their house which is fair enough, so make sure to double check you truly are surrounded by nature.

Do You Have a Good View?

Whether it’s of the sunset, or a perfect view of the night sky, having a nice view to enjoy is a big part of the whole experience and good to factor into decisions.

]]> Van conversions have been steadily growing in popularity over the years. Van life is super appealing to many people, and converting a van into a campervan yourself is often cheaper and more personal than buying a purpose-built camper. There’s so much to think about when self-converting, and a big one is the type of bed. Here are some options to consider.

‘Rock and Roll’ Bed

This refers to the style of bed which can switch between van seats and a bed. There may be different kinds of mechanisms for this setup. This is a great choice if you need passenger seats regularly, but may not be comfortable for use as a regular bed.

Slide Out Bench Bed

These are great for saving space as they double up as a bench to be used for seating in the daytime. They can also often have great storage space underneath. However, they do require some effort and maneuvering to set up.

Solid Bed

To save space people often build these up on a platform and have storage space underneath. This is great for having a bed that doesn’t require any effort to set up and can just be used whenever. But they do require enough space to make it work so aren’t great for small vans.

]]> ‘Van life’ is a term to describe people traveling and living out of a van. This looks so different for each person, and there are some amazing things that crafty people do with small spaces. But why does this concept appeal to so many? Here are just a few reasons why.

Make the Most of Being Outdoors

If you’re someone who loves being outside, then van life is likely to be very tempting. Having only a van as your indoor space means you inevitably end up spending a lot of time outside, which is a blessing to so many. Getting back in touch with nature couldn’t be easier when traveling via van.

Freedom to Go Anywhere

Public transport is obviously great, but sometimes can feel a little restrictive. If you’re dying to visit a spot that requires 3 buses to reach, being able to drive yourself there in a van is a way better option. Being able to travel anywhere at any time of day is very enticing.

Get to Call Anywhere ‘Home’

Having a van means having a tiny home on wheels, which means wherever you park it up for the night is your home for the time being. For those after the traveling nomadic lifestyle, this couldn’t be better.

]]> Van life is so tempting to so many of us. The ability to drive around the world and park up for the night is very enticing. But there’s a lot to consider, starting with these three points.

Sleeping

You may well be excited by the prospect of driving anywhere and staying the night. But for so many people, sleep is a delicate process, and as such you need to think about your sleep setup for a van. Do you want a fold-out bed? Or one that’s always set up ready to go? 

Toilet

It might not be the nicest thing to talk about, but this is so crucial to have properly thought out before heading off on a trip. Public toilets can be hard to find and are often shut at night. It’s a good idea to have a make-do toilet in your van for those emergency situations. 

Warmth

If you haven’t got a properly insulated van, this is a key thing to consider. Even in summer, it can get cold at night, and for the rest of the year, this is even more important. Make sure you have warm clothes, and consider how to make the van more insulated.
