Description
Recently started our 3 month travel in France, Spain and Portugal in our newly converted van! We have saved up for a year and decided to quit our jobs and leave our flat in Manchester behind ready to explore what the world has to offer.
Interested in a few volunteering opportunities and meeting lovely people along the way! We are going with the flow for this trip with no route in mind. We would love to continue our travels after July outside the EU zone. either in our van or with the clothes on our backs (preferably with a rucksack!)
