Two explorers, one van, endless adventures... Hi, we are Helen and Tristan, and welcome to Coconuts and Camels – the online stories of our travels and outdoor exploring!
Follow us as we travel Europe, all whilst living, working and travelling full-time in our self-built campervan. We'll be sharing the highs and lows, our top tips for full-time van-life, and our adventures to soak up all the amazing places we visit.
In 2016 we spent 5 months backpacking across South-East Asia, and after a few years of short trips around Europe we decided to embark on full-time travel again. We bought a 17 seater Ford Transit minibus in 2021 and converted it ourselves into a campervan. And at the beginning of 2022 we sold all of our stuff and moved into our van... AKA Stan the Van, our very own little home on wheels.
Last year we spent 8 months road tripping around Europe. And we're now back at it again!
