Touring with the Thomas’ are a wonderful family who no matter what enjoy life.
For them enjoying life is with their van. It gives them a sense of freedom and we discuss the feelings this gives you, including when your mental health makes an appearance and how a trip in the van can help this. The wondering that goes on when you reach a beautiful age and the realisation that this life is yours to live.

Jeffrey Hart, is a natural builder, podcaster and educator.
This man is a wealth of knowledge and has lived in many forms of tiny house over the last 10 years. Luton vans, tent hammocks, domes, cabins and most recently in my 38ft narrow boat ‘Barefoot’ for 6 years. This year he decided he would like to live a land based life, so sold the boat and began construction of his tiny house.
The aims of the tiny house were to create an example of what’s possible with low carbon natural materials, but built to high performance specifications. The building had to be rich in biophilic elements to nourish the soul and create a calm and focussed environment.
From conversations about the build and the sustainable materials used, to how you can find a way that might be doable for your to have this lifestyle in the UK and beyond. Alongside the most fantastic knowledge and conversations on sustainability and building within. @Jeffrey Hart

Katy - I started working full-time in the care and support industry age 16, I’ve worked in A&E, in a mother and baby hostel, specialist schools and supported accommodation. I’ve been paying for various different types of rented accommodation since age 18.
Tom - Tom left for a gap year at age 18 but the gap year turned into a life full of travel. He has done all sorts of travelling from family trips to see relatives in Dubai to a 3 month solo hitchhiking trip with only £3 in his bank. He has worked various different jobs on the way to fund his travels such as a butcher’s assistant, a hostel manager and extra work in film and TV.
Us - me and Tom met via the dating app Hinge during the first lockdown of the pandemic. We spent the first month chatting every night on video calls and then the first time Tom met me in person he moved in with me. We have lived together since in 3 different homes - the shared house I was renting a room in when we first met, Toms parents house when we built the van and now (and for the last ten months) our self-converted van. I quit my job in the hospital in January when we moved in to the van and since then we have travelled around England, Wales, Scotland and now Europe. We work various jobs on the road from cleaning toilets at festivals to gardening work we found on Instagram.
