I'm not going to make it to Portugal

I can’t do it. This week I come to the realisation that this trip is just too much. You join me in Valencia, where I meet some fellow English van friends who take me under their wing - feeding me Christmas dinner, looking out for me, and even handing me a walkie-talkie before we head south in convoy. Our second stop is Denia, parked right on the beach, where I may have had a brief holiday romance, explored the town, and attempted laundry for the second time… meltdown-free. A Christmas miracle. I then move on to a nature reserve in Torrevieja for New Year’s Eve, where I’m treated to a spectacular fireworks display at midnight. Over the following week, a walk around the lake brings some big realisations about my travels — mainly that I’m not going to make it to Portugal. I spend time getting to know the town, enjoy a meal out after a failed shopping trip, and explore the local beach. I end up staying put for weeks, but eventually need to top up my water. So, drawing on past van-life experience, I come up with a genius (albeit slightly long-winded) way to refill my water tank without moving the van. 🌟 Support the Channel: 💎 Channel Memberships: early access, ad-free viewing & members-only content -    / @myvanworld   💎 Patreon: early access, ad-free viewing, group chat & exclusive content -   / u84468106   ☕ Buy Me a Coffee: one-time support to keep the content coming - https://buymeacoffee.com/myvanworld 💸 PayPal: Support via PayPal - quick, one-time support - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/myvan... 📚 Shop: View products - digital health guides & resources -   / shop   🎬 Video Details: All videos are my attempt at being a filmmaker. 🎵 Music: Soundtrack provided by Epidemic Sound 📧 Business Enquiries: [email protected] 🙏 Thank you for watching!
