For the last few years I’ve been working as a recipe creator, I love cooking and experimenting with food. And as we all know, sharing is caring! Therefore I’ve decided to share some of my favorite recipes with you. 

Most of my recipes are created to be easy to make in a van, and all of them are vegan. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do!

Spain has been really good to us so far but we have had some speedbumps! Our water pump stopped working again. Apparently the pressure sensor inside can get overheated and damaged. It's not an easy fix so we opted to just buy a new pump. Stella is doing very well now! The stiches have come out and everything is healed up nicely. We are finally going further south and the weather is getting warmer! _______________________________________ ♥ Want updates between videos?

Since we are doing vanlife in Spain again we want to visit more cities, this week we are visiting Barcelona. We took a day trip by train since Barcelona is a low emission zone and it's really hard to find safe and cheap parking. We did do some vanlife in Barcelona last year but since Stella has her vet appointment in a town that has easy train access we decided to stay there. Barcelona is a really nice to visit. It's very alive and there are a lot of things to do and places to eat. We went to Vegan Junk Food Bar again but there are more vegan places if that's what you're into. Next time we are trying out Blue bar. Stellas surgery went well and she is resting now 🙂 _______________________________________ ♥ Want updates between videos?

So we are driving to Spain in our van again. Only took us 5 days this time instead of a month. We really just wanted to get down to the sun and warmer weather. The pups handled the trip really well and they are loving the sunshine and breaches! 🙂 Subscribe to see more of vanlife in Spain! _______________________________________ ♥ Want updates between videos?
