Just an update, after 3 years travelling full time, we arrived back home in May 2024. We have since sold the van and are adjusting well to life in a house again! We will keep this blog up and running as it still has lots of good info and experiences in it and we are still getting comments and questions.
Happy travels, Dave and Catherine!
