Hello! We’re Chesca & Ben, and we live full time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent 6 long months converting our tiny home on wheels, turning her from a workhorse into a place we call home. At the beginning of 2020, we were chasing the winter sun around Spain and Portugal. But when the pandemic hit, we found ourselves back home and waiting it out on Chesca's mum's driveway. Life suddenly took on a different rhythm. But now, 6 months later, we're back on the road and ready to chase some adventure. First stop, France 🌍 🚐

[@kenredgate3690]

One of my go to places , love Annecy and the Alps in general . Hope you get the problem sorted , at least your in a lovely place and you've got your home with you , take care , stay safe all of you .

[@OverlandingSophia]

Ah amazing! You must have some incredible memories from around here. The Alps have just been incredible, even in bad weather they're just beautiful and majestic. Definitely one of the perks of breaking down in a van - cup of teas on tap and a warm bed for the night 💞Hope you're having a lovely weekend Ken xx Chesca

[@sar1837]

Yey, that was a two for! Two of my fave van life channels. Annecy looked beautiful. Aand after months of watching you guys, finally convinced the hubby to buy a van and get it kitted out for our own adventures.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Sara, that's AMAZING news!! We're so honoured to be part of your van life journey! You're going to have some incredible adventures together 😊 🚐 You must head to Annecy when you're on the road, it's a beautiful place to spend some time in the van. Wait until you see Tania & Adam's France film! It's going to be incredible and give you serious wanderlust 😍

[@SunscreenDreams]

Hey guys, great to see you back on the road, sorry to hear about the hard year you have had. If you are travelling around the French Alps we can highly recommend Lac De Castillon near Castellane. We were there a few weeks ago and it is beautiful. We parked up right next to the crystal blue water, drop us a message if you would like the exact spot. The town of Castellane is also beautiful and has some amazing hikes. Looking forward to the next video. Ben and Charlotte

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll have to bookmark that place for the future as unfortunately we've now left the Alps 😭The winter was rolling in fast! Whereabouts are you guys now? Hope you're having fun travels wherever you are 💞xx Chesca

[@SunscreenDreams]

Overlanding Sophia we just watched your latest video, definitely looks very winters. We were lucky enough to get out of the UK for 2 1/2 weeks for a holiday but now unfortunately we are back home in lockdown in South Wales. We are really jealous of you guys travelling Europe. Long term travel is definitely something we want to do, just need to work out how to fund our travels. X

Hey guys I was just watching back over this video as we are at Annecy tomorrow on our way back and remembered that River seemed to enjoy her walk here and wondered if you could give me an insight into where you picked up the walk/route as our boy 🐕 Noodles would love to have a proper sniff of the lead. Love your channel and love to see your adventures with River.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Hey Dave! Ah you’re going to be at Annecy! Hope you have the best time! We found the walk on All Trails, it’s an app that gives you loads of walks in the local area which you can follow with GPS ☺️

[@OverlandingSophia]

I think ours started at Angon on the east side of the lake and went up to a waterfall 💛

[@phocusgring]

Thanks that is great, so appreciated as that’s not an app I had not come across before. We just got here today from lake Brienz on our return back north to Guernsey form our short break and after our T5 broke down on the way to Switzerland we would love to give Noodles the time to enjoy the open woods and hills. Safe travels and hope your next adventure goes to plan.

[@markplenty2631]

What a beautiful 😍 place, have added it to my google maps for when I can go. The lake is amazing and River is so definitely beautiful especially on her belly giving that look.. lol, loved the walk with the others, they are a nice couple and nice to have food with friends even though it was pouring down!! 😂😂👌 Shame of the breakdown but at least ALDI were legends letting you stay!!👍

You live in a beautiful part of the world Ian - very jealous! And the snow!

Hi River... leaving a comment as per your request. How are you finding life on the road? I hope that Ben and Chesca are seeing to to your every request. And they have not been to ruff on you. If they have barking around the bend, a cold wet nose pressed against their feet earl in the morning will cure this. All the best. Huge belly rub.😊

Hello 🐾 Thank you for leaving me a comment! I am loving being a van dog. Getting lots of walks, lots of cuddles and lots of new smells to explore which is my favourite. I'm getting even more cuddles now Tania and Adam are here. I'm actually a lazy pup and like to sleep all morning. Once Ben and Chesca wake up I have the whole bed to myself!

That was simply stunning refreshing and entertaining. I know Tania has sent a message via Instagram saying there broke down but surely they've fixed a starter motor hopefully by now.

Hello! I don’t remember the co-ordinates for the park up but it was near Angon! I’m sure driving there you’ll pass the spot, there were quite a few along the lake 💞

[@Deuchars25]

Been following for ages guys, very jealous of your travels! Thought you were near Luxe, where our sister and brother in law live, but more likely Lux, further east....? Would help if you used What3Words to tag in these gorgeous locations you keep finding. Keep on having fun👍

[@OverlandingSophia]

Ah thank you so much! That's wonderful to hear you've been around for a while 😍Yes it was Lux we were in, as we were heading East across to Annecy. What3Words would be great, but this is our thinking: most of these places are on Park4Night, so they are already fairly accessible. Half the fun of a good park up is finding it yourself, so we give an idea of where we are, so that others who want to go, can probably find them! What3Words would be too easy 🤪 xx Chesca
