Show Notes

I #left England alone in my van to #travel across Europe. I had no real plan, barely any money. A time when i was traveling to hold myself together ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Leaving home 0:30 - Packing the van 1:00 - On the road 2:00 - The ferry crossing- Holding myself 3:00 - Arriving in France 4:30 - Finding a place to park 7:00 - Making dinner 8:00 - Reflecting on the day- I managed to find myself. 🍕Treat me -buymeacoffee.com/bexraehartp I'm looking back at this journey now - rewatching the footage, reliving those first days. And I'm realizing how much it changed me. Packing up everything I owned, saying goodbye, catching the ferry to France. The beginning of my solo van life journey across Europe. I want to share what it was really like. The fear. The loneliness. How I managed money across different countries. Finding places to sleep. Language barriers at petrol stations. All the questions I had about doing this alone - and how I figured it out. It broke me. It rebuilt me. It made me stronger than I knew I could be. If you've ever thought about doing something like this but felt too scared - I hope watching this helps. 📍 Day 1: Leamington Spa → Dover → Calais 🚐 Solo female van life | 2021 #solovanlife #vanlifeeurope #solotravel #holdingmyselftogether #support #solo van life,van life Europe,solo female travel,traveling alone,camper van Europe,UK to France,van life tips,living in a van alone,solo travel vlog,Europe road trip,Dover to Calais,van life journey,wild camping Europe,budget van life,honest van life,solo adventure,van life reality
