BACKGROUND STORY
We are steps2adventure, better known as Jordan & Annalise. We created the steps2adventure brand to inspire people to explore what the outdoors has to offer. Back in 2019 we always knew we wanted to travel, we were planning backpacking trips, train journeys.. you name it. Thankfully we came across the van life KZreadrs! As soon as we saw this way of life we knew this was it, this is how we want to live and travel. So, we bought a van… Not just any van, she’s a 2007 LWB Mercedes sprinter van, an absolute beast!! We have spent over 2 years converting her in-between work and some little adventures across the UK.
Come along with us for some epic adventures across the UK & Europe and everyday life in-between

    Just a tip for next time with the soup, use Roma or San Marzano tomatoes as the ones you used, were salad tomatoes. Romas/San Marzanos are much richer, have more flesh and much less water

    Hi, just an observation here. I have followed many camper-van travel's and noticed everyone who has given an insight to their dwellings has one massive and important thing missing? FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, be it for electrical or cooker.

    We have two fire extinguishers one in the front cab which is a carbon diaxoide extinguisher and another in the back which is a water extinshisher however we could do with one for the gas really as we only have a fire blanket for cooking

    Hello all 3 of u. What a lot of camera kit u have, u2 are a very switched on young couple who produces excellent videos and a lovely van. I'm still converting my ex sainsbury sprinter home delivery van, building cabinets etc, my doors look just like yours. I'm 58 and been in building trade all my life do u come from a building trade family because u certainly have a lot of knowledge., for your age. Love your little dog. Have u ever had your timing chain replaced. Take care both. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk
