The best part? Simone converted most of it herself, making it a true labour of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The social media star has driven her van across Europe, plus to the most northern part of the UK in the Shetlands, and she loves taking her followers along for the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/best-vw-camper-conversions\/\">van conversion tips and tricks <\/a>to the funny series of videos that came from her being stuck in the Shetlands due to an unruly storm, her content has something for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We caught up with Simone, asking about all things<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/van-life-guide\/\"> van life<\/a>, travelling tips and exploring what the Somerset local is up to in the future.

Until then my perception of a house on wheels was an American RV for young families, \u2018We Are The Millers\u2019 vibe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in 2022 I found myself having lived in London for 5 years, exhausted by the rat race, and quite honestly desperation hit for drastic change and to achieve something big before I reached 30.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I planned a big road trip to America in hopes of travelling in an RV, but I didn\u2019t like any of the options for getting my dog over there. I honestly don\u2019t remember how my trail of thought took me from changing it to a Europe trip, to building the vehicle myself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started researching and developed an absolute blind confidence in myself, excited to build something that would fit all my needs, and with having zero DIY skills, I think I was just so excited about how much of an achievement it would be if I did it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So no, living in a van wasn\u2019t where I saw myself at age 29. I thought I would own a brick house and have a steady 9-5 but I think I much prefer this outcome!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your lovely fluffy companion, Roo, loved going to Europe with you&nbsp; was it always the plan to take her with you on some of your travels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRoo comes everywhere with me, train, bus, boat, on my bike in a dog rucksack. It\u2019s never a question that she is part of every van trip. She\u2019s the inspiration for the van build, so I could find a way to travel to other countries with her easily. My parents always joke that she\u2019s a dog well travelled!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What would you say are some of the hardest parts about travelling with a dog and what wouldn\u2019t you change about it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot everywhere is dog friendly, so my experience of cities like Paris or Milan might be different to your average tourist \u2013 I can\u2019t go up the Eiffel Tower or in a museum for example. But I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way on a long trip!&nbsp;I was actually pleasantly surprised how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/standard\/uk-dog-friendly-holiday-destinations\/\">dog friendly places<\/a> were in Europe. There wasn\u2019t a restaurant we weren\u2019t allowed in, and we went to the best dog friendly beach I have ever been to! Shade umbrellas for dogs, dog water bowls and dog sun loungers. I even hired a boat on Lake Como and Roo loved it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Simone-Stewart-and-dog--1024x768.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Simone-Stewart-and-dog--1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Simone-Stewart-and-dog--300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Simone-Stewart-and-dog--768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Simone-Stewart-and-dog--1536x1152.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Simone-Stewart-and-dog-.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is your process when creating online content in the van?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI like to change up the shots and angles to keep the story moving. So I end up with a lot of footage at the end of each day, which means my editing process is slow, but hopefully more entertaining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other than that, I like to create videos that have answers to some of the questions I wish I had seen when building, and just have fun with it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You also mentioned in a video that being in the van alone can feel a little daunting \u2013 do you have any safety tips for women wanting to travel in a campervan?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes! It\u2019s still something that I worry about, but there are a few tips and tricks I have learnt along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Number one, is always pull up to your camping spot in the daylight, everything is scarier in the dark. Pull up within good time to get to know your surroundings in the light, cook some food, and then you can start locking up for the night in your own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also gives you time to suss out the area, and get a sense for how safe it feels, maybe meet some other female van lifers in the carpark, safety in numbers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thread my seatbelts through the doors in the cab area, so it would be difficult to open the door, probably excessive, but you\u2019ve got to do whatever makes you feel safer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting a security camera on the outside of your van is always a great bonus, and I am currently in the process of adding locks on the doors that I can lock from the inside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planning your route ahead of time will also alleviate any worry, and share your location with a couple of people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, having a dog always helps, my dog Roo is a very good guard dog, maybe too good because she also alerts me when she hears foxes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaking of tips, what would be your number one tip to give to someone travelling abroad with a campervan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMake sure you bring all your basic tools, you never know when you might need them! (I spent a pretty penny in a few DIY shops fixing bits when I was away).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And sometimes driving off the toll roads (although not faster), is worth it for the beautiful sights you see. Like rivers you can spontaneously swim in and there&#8217;s never any traffic because everyone\u2019s on the tolls!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have any future plans to renovate another van at some point?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you had asked me a week after the van build I would have said absolutely not, not in a million years. But now a year has passed and the stress of building has slowly left my body. I&#8217;m coming around to the idea\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s next for you and your campervan? Anything exciting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the next couple of months, the NC500. A trip along the south coast to stay by the beach near some friends. And I would love to explore the south of France and Spain later this year. Hopefully I can make it all happen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to insure your van or campervan like Simone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you have converted a van yourself or bought your campervan ready to go, Sterling will have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/campervan-insurance\/\">campervan insurance<\/a> deal to suit your needs.
