Travelling Australia. Living in a Van. Giving Life a Real Crack!
Hey, I'm Matthew
A decade ago I was clocking in, clocking out and wondering, “Is this it?” Since then I’ve travelled to more than 100 countries and lived in corners of the world I never imagined — all trying to make sense of the pull to live a life that actually feels like mine.
Now I’m travelling Australia full-time in a van I built myself — exploring off-grid places, telling stories, and giving this new dream a real crack.
This website is my travel diary… the good days, the lonely ones, the breakdowns (mechanical and mental), and everything in between.
If you’ve ever felt that nudge to do something different, I hope this space gives you the courage to take the first step.
My DIY Van Build
Building this van was a lifelong dream. I didn’t just want a camper — I wanted a home on wheels. I built it from the ground up with no trade background, just patience, a clear vision, and a lot of help from my old man along the way.
What surprised me most was how achievable it all was. The more I learnt, the more confidence I gained — and piece by piece, this thing slowly turned into the home I’d imagined for years.
If you’re planning your own build (or just dreaming about it), here’s a look at how I put mine together: the layout, the electrical setup, the features I love, and a few mistakes you can learn from too.

My Video Journal
This is where everything comes together – the road, the van, the hikes, the breakdowns, and the small moments that make it all worth it. Every episode is a chapter of the story as it’s unfolding. No scripts. No fake drama. Just life on the road in Australia.
