I love travelling. I normally travel with my backpack in far-off corners of the world. But, in 2006 I bought a Mercedes Sprinter van and converted it into a camper van. I then drove my camper van (named the Pampy Camper) to Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal. I spent 9 months travelling around, free camping most of the time, and surfing waves that were normally too big for me.

I returned home in June 2007. As I was spending the next few years backpacking I sold the Pampy Camper :-(. I sold her to a friend though :-)

In 2010, after 2 years of backpacking in Asia I decided it was time for another campervan. Impressed with the Mercedes Sprinter I had before I bought another. A MWB hi-top in baby blue.
