What's this all about then?

Firstly thanks for visiting this blog! If you already know myself (Matt), Rachel or Nailz (our Jack Russell Terrier) then it's great to be able to update you on our adventure. If you don't know us (yet) but have stumbled across this blog, our aim is to provide a detailed narrative of our adventures as we explore parts of Europe in a self-built campervan. We will be free-camping where possible, scuba diving, and generally exploring. On top of having loads of fun, I'll be busking and jamming as much as I can, we'll be sampling local cuisine, trying to learn a bit of local lingo, and seeing what free festivals we can get to.

If we have a great experience we will be sure to tell you what happens and what we think about it, as well as providing photos either here or on Flickr. Of course not all things go to plan - when there is one - and we will also tell you about any problems we encounter and how we deal with them.

That's the mission statement, of sorts, so the next thing I need to tell you about is how we can inform you when there's an update to the blog. We will be using free wi-fi spots to get access to the internet (what a great excuse to buy a coffee, whilst avoiding the extortionate cost of using data abroad on mobile contracts) so updates will probably be a bit sporadic. You could keep checking this blog every few days, but if we go off the beaten track for a bit it may be some time till we can post updates, so if you want you can follow me on twitter. I'll post on there when there is an update so you won't miss out!

That's it for now, but over the next few posts I'll write about the kit we're using, the van, the dive equipment, and anything else which may be of interest.

All the best,

Matt, Rachel and Nailz!
