Hey, I’m Lauren!
I’m 23, and I travel Ireland (and sometimes beyond) in my self-converted campervan. I left the 9–5 corporate world behind to live life on my own terms — now I’m a full-time solo female vanlifer, sharing the highs, the hiccups, and everything in between.
Here on the blog, you’ll find:
- Safety tips for solo women on the road
- The best van-friendly spots across Ireland
- How I earn a remote income independently
- Honest van gear reviews & cost breakdowns
- Easy, tasty recipes for life in a tiny kitchen
This is my journey — raw, real, and rolling. I hope it inspires yours.
