Welcome to the glamorous life of motorhome living, where romance is fixing water leaks and sleeping on listing ships! This week featured damp panels, intense Reuben chaos, and culinary treasures from Greysteel. While Kathy gained TikTok fame, I upgraded my phone and made peace with soggy walls — just another day in #VanLife!
Living the motorhome dream? More like a ‘why is my e-bike mocking me?’ reality! From battling punctures with a knight named Tim to roof leaks that should win awards for permanence, every day is an adventure. But hey, at least the views at Benone Beach are priceless – right before your vehicle floats away!
Motorhome life isn’t always epic road trips and sunsets — sometimes it’s just family commitments keeping us within a 3-mile radius, bouncing between Ballykelly Forest and Springwell Park, fixing leaks, watching power levels, and drinking smug coffee while ramblers get soaked. Not glamorous, but real.
Motorhome owners face the annual MOT challenge, hoping for minimal issues. After passing, the journey to Binevenagh Lake begins, now enhanced by Starlink for connectivity. Embracing vanlife includes chaos, rain, and remote work, transforming stressful moments into enjoyable experiences. Binevenagh offers stunning views, making it an ideal spot for digital nomads.
The trip through Scotland focused on reconnecting with friends and embracing camping culture, contrasting campsite comfort with wild camping freedom.

Hiya folks, Kathy here – or as my husband Darron likes to say, “the real boss behind Digital Nomad NI.“ So, where do I even start? I guess at the beginning. February 2020, just before the world shut down with Covid, I took myself off to Turkey and got the gastric sleeve. Looking back now,…
There was a time when Springwell Forest Park was one of our go-to spots. Not for anything fancy, mind you, no water hook-up, no bins every 3 feet, and certainly no free WiFi. But back then, you could actually get a half-decent signal. This was pre-Huawei-ban era, before every mobile provider in the UK collectively…
Let’s rewind to Friday at 3:30pm. I’d arranged to collect a custom steel step-down adapter, freshly welded and ready to go, or so I thought. I rock up to the workshop and it’s all locked up tighter than a Tory MP’s expense account. Turns out they shut at 2:30pm on Fridays. That would’ve been a…
I finally got my hands on the Starlink Mini after three weeks of waiting. Three weeks of watching the delivery tracker bounce around Europe like it was on a sightseeing tour. But hey, it arrived, and that’s where the real fun began. USB-C Is a Lie You’d think plugging in a satellite dish would be…
