The sleepover and talking to the people we met on this experience has opened our eyes and we are considering taking the leap and swapping our apartment for the "vanlife" to travel more!
This experience will be very hard to beat. The activities, the people, the weather... everything was perfect and we've been so excited telling our friends and family about it.
