About me

Hello, I'm Justine.

Bulli driver, DIY mechanic, sun worshipper

Make-up, self-sufficient and across Europe with my VW T4. I've been traveling in my own van since 2020 - but I've already absorbed camping with my mother's milk. It all started with a silver T4 Caravelle (built in 1998, VR6) - after an engine failure came the red one and finally my current companion, the blue one: royal blue under yellow VW stickers. I'll show you traveling from my perspective: honest, independent and with mascara on the dipstick.

  • ❤️ Camping: in your blood since Childhood · own van since 2020
  • 🚌 My T4 trip: silver VR6 → the red → the blue
  • 🔧 Expansion: everything yourself built
  • 🚛 Next destination: Truck driving license & your own expedition vehicle
  • 💛 Motto: Use the clichés, play with them, break them down
