THIS IS WHY WE LEFT THE RAT RACE - Van life in the Highlands, climbing Suilven and Stac Pollaidh.

We are Diane and Nige. At the end of 2024, we sold our house, left our jobs, and gave up a comfortable lifestyle to live and travel full-time in our ex-Scottish ambulance. We are spending our first winter in Scotland and have been exploring the Outer Hebrides for the past month. In this video, we’re back on the mainland after 5 weeks in the Outer Hebrides, and our Van life journey continues through Assynt, where we climb some of Scotland’s finest mountains and drive the ‘wee mad twisty road’. You can follow our detailed journey on our socials:   / thisis_vanlife     / thisisvanlife
