Lockie & Ash

Lockie & Ash

We are Lockie and Ash, two Aussies who travelled Europe in our self-converted campervan, Tommy!
We moved to Europe in August 2019, where we bought, registered and converted our van in a foreign country. We spent 3.5 years travelling and exploring different countries around Europe, experiencing new cultures and just living life to the absolute fullest!
After 3.5 years abroad, our van life adventure came to a holt after we were involved in a car crash! We moved home to Australia for 8 months in December 2022 and are now back in Europe ready for the next chapter!
We are currently building our second camper van and documenting the process!
Follow us and come along on our adventures, giving you tips and knowledge on living the van life dream, as well as being your guide to the best spots to visit.
Subscribe to our channel and thank you for following our journey!

    Staying in Dubrovnik Heights, makes your stay also much cheaper. Dubrovnik Heights is 8 km away from old town Dubrovnik. The catch with Dubrovnik Heights is becouse it is in Bosnia and Hercegovina 🇧🇦

I've also considered all your options, Andorra came up as an option due to your video from a few years ago. Like you, so far, CarTurf seems like the best and easiest option. We'll be meeting him mid May to buy a car.

    Congrats on the video guys! You deserve it to go Viral with all that work. We are currently in the US for winter and looking at coming back to Europe and possibly motorhoming this time. Would you mind sharing your average weekly costs while motorhome travelling? We estimated about $1400 AUD all in with a mix of free and paid campsites. Are we far off the mark?

  • @LockieandAsh
    @LockieandAsh4 ай бұрын

    Thanks so much guys, we appreciate it ☺️ it really depends where in Europe you are and exactly what you are doing and also how much driving you are actually doing each month. I would say 1400 AUD would be fine as long as you aren’t planning to eat out a lot or pay for too many tourist attractions as these things add up. I would prob say plan to spend more so that you don’t go over budget and anything you save is a bonus!

    The black one is a ‘sikaflex’ brand made for campers. The white one came with the solar panels from renogy. Not sure on the difference, I just thought the sikaflex would be better quality so I used that on the outter sides and used the renogy one in the middle.. no problems yet they both seem to be very good!
