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 🌍 🚐

Hello! Thank you for tuning in this week! Our time with Tania and Adam just flew by, can't believe we're parting ways with them already. But with winter closing in, it's time to head south and chase that sunshine. So off we set, through the Mont Blanc tunnel and into Bella Italia! Hope you enjoy xx

Safe travels through Italia : )

Thank you for the recommendations! We're currently driving through the north as we want to spend time exploring the south of Italy (and avoid the rain), so I apologise now if we miss some gems along the way! But hope you enjoy seeing Italy through our eyes. I've only ever been to Florence so I can't wait to see what else this beautiful country has to offer! x Chesca

Fantastic video! We think you made the right decisions continuing the drive to that amazing village. Such a shame that lots of it was closed but still beautiful. :) That chocolate spread at the end looks amazing!

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thank you! 100% agree, better to wake up next to hot springs than next to a dumper truck 😅When you're in France, go to a Bio Co-op and look for the spread there - it's a vegan alternative to nutella but oh my, it's 1000x better! Seriously good! 😍xx Chesca

[@GGG-yr9gi]

Good morning, I woke up with a vanlife song idea, about a never ending vanlife song, made by all of us. In time, everybody may (be able to) add his own part(s), and combine / listen to his favorite parts. The only thing that very important to me is that the chorus (refrain, coro, refrein) will always be and stay This is a happy song About Happy moving on I'm moving on And that the text in between should be in many languages, as we all speak... Also, it feels to me as a vanlife special, when a bit of you all would be added at the right "spots", like "Hi guys", "You know what day is", "Good morning everybody", "Afternoon", "Hey guys", "Helloooo" and much more of all of you. Fine for you ? About those text, some rough thoughts Watching the sunrise, Nadar en el mar, Sun is burning, Il fait chaud, Paella on the fire, Siesta en la playa, y vamos a la cama ----- ("Hi guys") Looking outside, It's all white, Mucho viento, The heating is on, Tout mouillé par la neige, Supper in the van, And an extra blanket ------ ("Good morning everybody") Somebody's knocking, Is this a parc ?, Ser ahuyentado, Moving to another place, Que c'est beau, The blue-green lake, Et la fin d'une autre journée ----- And so on and on and on by everybodies vanlife additions I'm sure some of you can produce (many versions of) music for this happy song. And please, let's forget about money, this is about vanlife, one big family and also, winter's coming, giving us all a bit more inside van-time. Thnx, have fun, be happy and safe journeys, OnTheMove

[@garmit61]

Sa-mo-ens is how you pronounce it. I spent my honeymoon there in similar weather. I love the place. When in Italy take a look at Lake Como, it’s fabulous as are , Genova, Verona and Milan but you’re going to struggle to get the van into a lot of Italian towns as the roads are very narrow once off the main drag.

[@OverlandingSophia]

What a beautiful place to spend a honeymoon! We didn't realise what a beautiful place it was until we turned up 😍 We would love to do Como, Verona, Milan etc, but we're heading south as the winter rolls in. We're saving the north of Italy for another summer 🌞 But thank you for the recommendations 😊 xx Chesca

[@garmit61]

@@OverlandingSophia it does get cold in the north so I don't blame you. I'm told to recommend Pompei and the Amalfi coast in that case if you can. Never done it myself but my daughter recommends it. To be honest the whole of Italy is beautiful. I toured around the north by motorbike two summers ago. By bike or car the Stelvio pass is a must, but that's near Bormio which will be snowbound I would think by now. I hope you're enjoying your trip at least as much as we are. All the best, Gareth

[@buddysinsight9834]

Hello I am so jealous you are on the road I would love to be on an adventure right now, you might bump into Leave everything and wonder or tiny planet. I am enjoying the vids. Do you set up websites Chesca?

[@snoman1999]

Getting to see Mont Blanc from Chamonix is Awe Inspiring but the route from Lac Annecy through Val d Isere, over the Col d Iseran is spectacular (and a lot cheaper than the MBT 💴😆) and some BEA-utiful scenery on the other side.. After that the drive down to Pisa is much the same.. How much was the Mont Blanc Tunnel for “Sophia” 💰 Really excited that yr in Italy and about to explore Tuscany.. One of our favourite places was Sienna but not sure if you will get the same vibe during these times 🦠 😷 We’d also recommend Florence (of course) Lucca, Voltera and San Gimignano ❤️🇮🇹 Have Fun 🚐💨😍

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thank you Ian! I remember driving to Italy on a school trip, and it was absolutely breathtaking. I think we did that route you mention and now I'm thinking we should have done that instead! Still, driving through the Mont Blanc tunnel was a cool experience (even if it cost us 60 euros!). Thank you also for the Italy recommendations! Bookmarked them all. Can't thank you enough for all your support/encouragement/suggestions Ian, it's so much appreciated by both of us! Hope we bump into you on the road one day 💞🚐 x Chesca

[@snoman1999]

Overlanding Sophia - When you make it up to Norway you will discover tunnels that make the MBT look like a toy train set tunnel 😆 They have roundabouts and junctions in them 😳 We were in Riga Latvia 🇱🇻 in autumn of 2015 and headed south in search of some sunshine and ended up in Albania 🇦🇱 then Sicily 😆 Hope you guys have as much of an adventure as we did.. 🌍 Yeah “Overlanding Sophia” meeting with the “Hotel du Van” would be soooo cool 😎 🚐+🚐💨💨😍 Have Fun ❤️xx

[@MrMossman1234]

Chesca & Ben. Love your channel! I was hoping I could ask how much I would need to budget for a van build to a similar spec as yours. I think you guys have smashed it with the design, build quality fixtures & fittings!

[@OverlandingSophia]

Hey, thank you so much! So we were really bad at keeping a costings sheet, and stopped about halfway through the build 🙈But we estimate it cost us £8k to convert the van, not including the cost of Sophia herself 😊x Chesca

We’ve travelled across the Baltics Italy Greece France Spain et cetera et cetera I’ve seen plenty of these deserted towns it’s an absolute crying shame what’s going on to Europe ....the deserted towns are due to globalisation ...all the young leave the towns and head off to the big cities.... but more so head off to the other countries like England Germany London Frankfurt Amsterdam while those beautiful picturesque little villages just disappear from our history

[@OverlandingSophia]

It's a sad state of affairs for sure. We noticed it particularly in Portugal, where entire streets were lying abandoned. This place was very quiet but I do imagine it's popular in the summer. The pandemic hasn't helped tourism in these towns at all, which is now what many of them rely on x
