About us:

After meeting in New Zealand back in 2017, Beth and Jake have travelled the world, working online and creating memories.

Jake has been travelling since 2016 and during this time has perfected his photography and videography skills. He is adventurous and has a passion for the outdoors.

Having lived in various countries around the world, we decided that instead of settling down, we'd  build a tiny home inside a van.
We've never done anything like this before, we have no building experience, no electrical experience, and no plumbing experience.
This is a huge learning curve for us and we welcome you to join us in this challenge.

Our Wild Horizons documents a journey of continued adventure.

Silicone spatula - not just for cooking but to scrape oans, plates and bowls clean before washing up which helps save water

100% agree on the bungee cords! They're so underrated 😅 I did use them to tie up my kitchen draws so they wouldn't fly open as I was driving but now I have upgraded with turn buttons. A hot water bottle would be my next essential item. Especially now its got colder 🥶

Love the straining saucepan, great design! Pegs! Pegs are always handy for fastening food bags, hanging washing and stopping spoons falling into saucepans 😆

Jakes trusty wok and pizza cooking skills!

Me and my bf have found that we also just use a wok and a sauce pan for everything. Definitely don’t need 20 different pans for cooking.
