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!

Crazy how many Swedes do vanlife. In this video we hade a vanlife party in Spain with almost only Swedes and we got our new solar installed. Our original solar panels from Australia have given us nothing but issues for the past 2 years so it was time for a change. We now have 360W solar and we have more power than we can use! With so many vanlifers that know each other in the same place of course we had to have a party. Everyone got to make a signature drink and present it and we all voted to find the best one. Spoiler the green and blue one from Pelle and Linda won! And yes that is Stella barking in the background, she's learning that she doesn't need all the attention all the time. But just to be clear, she was not locked away in the van all day, we checked on her regularly and she was not barking ALL day. All the vanlifers in the video who have socials will be linked below! https://www.instagram.com/pelle_linda/ https://www.instagram.com/dom_and_em/ https://www.instagram.com/justanordinarycouple/ https://www.instagram.com/maja.bagger/ https://www.instagram.com/eidebo/?hl=sv https://www.instagram.com/andreahansson_/ _______________________________________ ♥ Want updates between videos?

Vanlife party in Spain | New solar installed!
YouTube Video UCSTAvj5PYgZbZAz29ieDIjg_3P5zDVRHHn4
This week we took a day trip into Valencia. We walked around with the dogs in the beautiful city and then left for the mountains. While driving up to the mountain we got caught in a snowstorm, it felt like we where back in Sweden. But the snow cleared up fast and we were left with a bitter cold but really beautiful and cool mountains! _______________________________________ ♥ Want updates between videos?

Day trip to Valencia | Cool mountains! - Vanlife spain
YouTube Video UCSTAvj5PYgZbZAz29ieDIjg_Xp6Q6wEso44
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?
