Escaping the UK by the scariest ferry crossing EVER | European Van Life Begins!

Hello, welcome to our van life adventure! In this video, we'll be sharing with you our scary ferry crossing from Portsmouth to Saint Malo, as well as how my fears of the ocean were overcome and our European van life adventure began!

We are young family of 3 (Rich, Lisa and Rory). We have given up everything we have to live the #VanLife and travel around as much of the world as we can in our Ford Transit Custom conversion called Tango.
We have named our trip #VanTurismo
Having spent most of the year in our caravan in Cheshire a near death experience during labour completely changed our outlook on life. Since then, we have adopted a life is too short mentality and intend to make the most of every day. Starting in Devon in early January we plan to travel around Spain and Portugal until the end of March. During which we will be hopping on a ferry to Africa and have a few weeks in Morocco. Then into April and the world is our Oyster!!
We will have to head east as we do the dreaded Schengen Shuffle! We plan to release 3 videos a week taking you through the highs and the lows, showing you best bits of the continent and beyond from the comfort of your arm chair. All with a 4 month old baby for good measure!

Have you ever been in your camper to Europe? Have you ever VanLife’d?

Try crossing from Dover to Ostend in a force 8 gusting 9 as I did on board the Belgian ferry Prins Baudouin in the 1960"s.

Not for me, not a great sailor!

Looks like a very smooth crossing.

It was very choppy, since this video we did the Portsmouth Santander crossing which made this look like a pond

Spain and France are so well equipped, we are in Portugal currently and they have quite a few free stop overs that give free electric!! It’s so so good!
