About Us

Well where do we begin.... we met through a friend, had coffee, talked the afternoon away (well Em did, Fred just sat and politely listened) and the rest just kinda happened.  We never expected or set out for what followed, but here we are.  

​

Fred.... wrong side of 60 but still very young in body and soul with a penchant for wanting to explore and get the most out of life!!  American born, but raised in the UK since early childhood.  Proud father to 3 talented lads, passionate about boats, steam trains & otters!  And has a big interest in eco, self sufficient living.

​

Em.... x-workaholic and keen long distant walker, mother to two beautiful boys (of course she is biased!) Free spirited soul who has a huge zest for fun and adventure.  Feels most at home surrounded by nature - woodlands, mountains and waterfalls.  Thanks to her dad she has a passion for Cacti & Succulents, and quite the collection of inherited model trains to play with and enjoys the odd steam train visit too. 

​

We are two kindred spirits, who have both gone through similar but different paths in life, but have ended up in the same place which has subsequently brought us together.  Our quest was to get away from the rat race, leave behind the hustle and bustle of busy roads and endless noise, where each day merged into one and was a depressing cycle of eat, sleep, work, repeat.  So we quit our jobs, bought a camper van and hit the road to start our new life adventure!

So welome and join us on our adventure
