|| ABOUT US ||
We’re Doug and Jamie - an aussie / american couple who love adventures, good food and exploring new places. For the past few years we have be using what we’ve had to explore more of Australia - which wasn’t much. But in 2020 we upgraded Doug’s work van and it now doubles as our home on wheels part time. 2022 was the year we decided it needed a makeover so we jumped into a big van build series over the winter, ready to hit spring in our new setup! Our hope for this channel is to grow a community of likeminded people and to inspire others to jump in the drivers seat of their own life (pun intended) and create their own magic. And after surviving life in one of the most lockdown cities in the world the last few years, we are back in action ready to share our adventures!

    We love free camping, getting a spot is a risk, but often worth it. Caravan Parks are good as well

    Agreed! It has almost always been worth it for us!! 🙌 We love using caravan parks from time to time esp when on the road for longer trips to top up and use the amenities! We find it really helps balance out with the free camps!

    Talk about some gorgeous campsites, especially for boondocking! We have done some boondocking and I totally get how it can make you a little uncomfortable. It’s such a rush when you get a sweet spot though! This greenhouse/ coffee spot area is totally a cool vibe! You guys go and get those fish and chips and chill at that beautiful spot soon.

    I do free camp mostly, and avoid if possible the larger lake places that get crowded with morons. Also I hate folks who turn up late at night and drive around and around trying to get perfect spot!😁 Would love to catch up with you guys sometime, as I'm currently in Victoria, sort of around goldfields area.

    We feel you on that!! We felt bad coming in at 9pm - and just wanted to get settled in a spot asap! Some people can be so annoying to camp near they act like they own the place 😂 and we would LOVE that! We are head back out next week, not sure what your plans are but would love to T something up if you'll still be around! Are you on Instagram? @adventurewithdj or feel free to shoot us an email adventurewithdj@gmail.com and see if we can organise something! 🙌
