Great shots @dawnoner and congratulations on becoming part of the global van lifers!
I too joined the gray nomad van lifers over here a few months ago after buying myself a second hand toyota Hiace and sort of...decking it out, but not really, just a bunk bed in it, but I took the bottom bed off, leaving the frame, lowering the top bed so its high enough to stow away 2 layers of flat plastic storage tubs, but low enough to sleep on without hitting the roof and then the very back of it is reserved for my Mum's Real Vintage https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/chocolatescorpi stuff and I have been traveling around to markets trying to sell it and my friend Cat and I are also professionally house sitting too, so we drive in tandem, her in her little van and me in mine and away we go and loving it!
So happy that you finally bit the bullet and bought yourself, a home a car, a lifestyle all in one!
And you are so lucky to have such a stunningly beautiful and historic country to travel in too!
I can't wait to see where you get to and all of the other amazing light paintings that you're going to do!
Have fun and stay awesome!
