#Vanlife - Discovering our own road to happy
#Vanlife - Discovering our own road to happy
Date: 2018-10-05
As we come to an end of our journey North, we reflect on our seven days on the road in our campervan, the #Vanlife dream. It was our 25th anniversary present, which we gave to each other to celebrate our freedom, to celebrate our longevity and our unity.
There are a lot of hidden travel gems that you won't be able to find if you do not take a chance. Travel is probably the only way we can unwind and recharge, while we learn and experience new.
Our campervan experience gave us the freedom to stop wherever we wanted to without having to stick to any tour schedule or follow a group itinerary.
#Vanlife was a bit different to what we had pictured it would be, however we still wouldn't change a thing about our road trip to the North. Even though we enjoyed loads of cooking on our Tagine oven, while sitting outside and watching the sunset and sharing the highlights of our day by the fire. And then Mother Nature opened the heavens and it poured. If we had been camping, it would have been miserable, but our Maui Camper van was as snug as a pair of parsons. The rain either kept us firmly in our beds sipping hot chocolate and reading our books, or we played cards at the table marvelled at the view.
Have you ever travelled to a place you had never even heard of, only to discover that you never wanted to leave That's what happened to us in Sodwana Bay. I can't get this diver's village out of my head. The sunshine and the overnight stay in the nature reserve was filled with curious wildlife experiences, which might have something to do with why this was our favourite day. I really hope our travels bring us back to Sodwana one day soon.
The sun woke us up early on our last day of our #vanlife in the Kosi Bay Utshwayelo Community Campsite. That morning was pretty magical and walking among the fresh early spring colours of these indigenous coastal dunes was an awesome way to end our road trip.
And so we come to the end of our #vanlife travels. We hope that our stories inspire you to venture out of the comfort zone and explore our beautiful country.
