My first time sleeping off-grid in North Wales: A disaster? And what happened next...

Join me waking up after my first time sleeping off-grid on an industrial estate by the side of a nature reserve in North Wales as I embark on a vanlife adventure of exploring the UK coastline over about a year in my trusty campervan, Liberty As a member of Genx, at 55, I'm excited to explore the beautiful coastline of the Flintershire Coastline in North Wales and spend some quality time with my loyal labrador, Bella, by my side. Find out how I slept and what we got found after my first night of sleeping off-grid and whether I'll be doing it again anytime soon. With its stunning beaches, historic castles and picturesque landscapes, North Wales is the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape the city and connect with nature, and I'm excited to share my travel adventures with you. 🚐 NEXT CHAPTER DIARIES BEGINS… At 55, I’ve made one of the biggest decisions of my life… I sold my car, invested in a campervan, packed up my life with my Labrador Bella 🐾 and I’m setting off to explore the entire UK coastline over the next 12 months. This isn’t just a van life adventure… It’s about starting over. Creating freedom. Rebuilding life on your own terms. Earning income online to stay on the road And proving it’s never too late to choose a completely different next chapter. In this video I’m giving you a full tour of my Sunlight Cliff Adventure 600 campervan, sharing how I've managed to get everything I need in it and how I use the space Less is more...and I love it, so liberating If you’re a Gen X person feeling the pull for MORE… More freedom… More adventure… More fulfilment… More YOU… …then you’re in the right place.
