⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. So after waiting for six months for the borders to reopen in Ireland we have finally hit the road in June 2021 and spent 90 days enjoying vanlife in Spain. Then we spent the next two months enjoying vanlife in Croatia before heading onto Serbia which stole our hearts. Then we journeyed from there into Turkey where we are met lots of fellow vanlifers. Back home to Ireland and the UK for time with family and MOT, and now back into the mainland!

Heyo! Mitch and Day here ????????
We’re just your typical American-Colombian couple determined to live every second of our precious time here on earth to the fullest. After a 10-month solo backpacking trip through South America, I (Mitch) stopped in Cali, Colombia to take salsa dancing classes ????????. I only planned to stay for a couple weeks, but God had other plans for me. I met a cute Colombian girl (Day) in class, those couple weeks turned into a couple years, and before we knew it...we were married ????????????????
Now we’re traveling the world full time as digital nomads, supporting ourselves by working online ????????????????
Our goal with these videos is to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, give you an inside peek at our crazy imperfect lives, and show you that you don’t have to be rich to live an extraordinary life...all you need to do is make the choice!

We are Tania (Irish/Mexican) & Adam (English) & in Sep 2019, we left our busy lives in London to travel Europe in our 21-year-old campervan named Jitters aka Jits ???? ???? Living in a van & capturing our adventures through film & photography is our biggest creative endeavor yet. More than anything, we feel fortunate that in doing so, we have managed to grow such a wonderful & supportive travel-loving community. THANK YOU! Listen to our podcast to get to know us better:

Jits is a 1999 Peugeot Boxer Autosleeper 'Symphony'. Jits belonged to Adam's mum, Sally, who sadly passed away in Jan 2019 from ovarian cancer. During this time, we were reminded how life is too short and felt inspired to take the plunge & pursue our dream of full-time van life.
