Wanderers and Whiskers
3 Seasons
Although the experiences didn't begin in the luxuries of their current van, a South African couple traveling in their hand-built tiny home on wheels with their cat has visited over 100 campsites in the last three years.
Vision for the Show:
After 3 years of full time travel we have found a piece of off grid land in one of our favourite areas known as the Cederberg Mountains where we have parked our van on land and plan
to build a self sufficient tiny homestead where we can grow our own food and spend our off time exploring the rugged mountain surrounding us. So far we have installed running water, upgraded our solar setup and started a vegetable garden- we want to create a comfortable outdoor space that can become a base camp that we can return to as a break from full time
travel.
