From Setbacks to Comebacks | Our 2025 Van Life & Overland Journey

2025 was a year of huge change, hard lessons, and unforgettable adventures.
In this episode, we look back on a full year of van life, overlanding, and personal growth, sharing the highs, the setbacks, and everything in between.

The year began with an incredible 90-day campervan adventure through Spain, living the van life dream and exploring Europe on four wheels. But our plans came to an unexpected end when we were forced to scrap our campervan due to severe rust issues, completely changing the direction of our year.

Instead of giving up, we adapted. We learned to appreciate smaller adventures closer to home, exploring what we have right on our doorstep in Sheffield and finding gratitude in the simple things. During this time, we focused on building our brand, growing our YouTube channel, and creating content around campervan builds, self-converted micro campers, and 4x4 overland vehicles.

As summer arrived, so did one of the highlights of the year — an epic overland road trip, packed with stunning landscapes, off-road driving, and unforgettable memories. To finish the year on a high, we successfully rebuilt our crash-damaged 4x4 camper, proving that resilience, creativity, and determination can turn setbacks into successes.

This episode is a full 2025 adventure roundup, showing real van life — not just the highlights, but the challenges, the rebuilds, and the growth along the way.
