If you’ve recently bought a van to turn into a camper van perhaps you’re wondering how you’ll make a camper feel like home. When we first bought our van, Elvis, he was full of metal shelving and not much else. It was hard to imagine getting him into a place where we could live in…
It’s been about 2 years since we bought Elvis the Van (how?!). We’ve crossed the USA the super long way round (see our USA road trip route here), over three months and then spent another 2 months living in him in Canada. Since we settled in Vancouver, we’ve taken him on trips all over BC…
If you’re staying in Moab, but are tight on time, visiting Arches and Canyonlands National Parks in one day is one of the best things to do with your time there. You may be driving through Moab as part of an extended Utah road trip like us, or perhaps you’re trying to fit in a…
Arches National Park in Utah is one of the best national parks near Moab and is one of Utah’s Mighty 5 National Parks. It was one of the first national parks in America that we visited in Western USA and it still remains one of my favorites. If you’re planning on visiting Arches National Park…

If you only have one day in Arches National Park you might be stressing about how to fit it all in. Arches National Park was one of the US National Parks I’d actually heard of before our three-month road trip across the USA. I’d seen the incredible arches in this part of Utah in photos…
If you’re planning on visiting Canyonlands National Park and are wondering what to pack then I’ve got you covered. We visited Canyonlands as part of our three-month trip driving around America and since we were in our campervan, we had everything we could have possibly needed with us. However, we definitely reached for certain things…
Visiting Canyonlands National Park is one of the Utah National Parks that make up the Utah Mighty 5 along with Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Capitol Reef National Park. These 5 parks make a truly epic Utah road trip full of beautiful sights, amazing hikes and so many things to see…
When I first moved to Vancouver in the summer of 2017, the rain in Vancouver held off for quite a while. The question of “what are the things to do in Vancouver when it’s raining” had been put off, and honestly, I’d not had to consider how to spend winter. It had been put off…
The Joffre Lake hike is the one hike near Vancouver that I think I probably see a picture of on Instagram every day.
