Dani and Wade Take on New Adventures, and Continue Their #Vanlife Journey!

Dani and Wade and their two cats have been living the #vanlife for the past few years and are upgrading their rig for their next big adventure. To follow them on their social account, @wadeanddani is to go on an epic journey yourself- as you can share in all that Australia has to offer. Follow along with us, as we cannot wait to see where the road takes them next!

Where are you right now? How did you get here?

Right now, we're living in a warehouse in Sydney while working on the conversion of our 2019 Mercedes Sprinter into our new dream campervan. We’ve been traveling around Australia for the past two and a half years, living in our first self-built van, and decided it was time for an upgrade to support our evolving van life adventures. The warehouse is serving as our base as we dive into this exciting new build project.

Tell us about yourself. Why’d you choose your lifestyle? How long have you been at it?

We’re Wade and Dani, a couple who fell in love with the freedom of van life over two years ago. After travelling the whole of Australia for a while, we realized that we didn’t want the adventure to end, so we combined our love for travel with content creation to make a sustainable lifestyle on the road. We’ve been living this way ever since, sharing our journey on social media and inspiring others to embrace a life of adventure and simplicity.

Tell us about your rig. How long have you had it, how much distance have you put on it, where have you taken it?

Our current rig is a 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 416 LWB, and it’s our second van build. We’ve just begun the conversion process, but our previous van was a part of our lives for over three years.

During our lap of Australia trip in our previous van (2017 Mercedes Sprinter 416 LWB), we covered just over 50,000 kilometers exploring Australia’s coasts, outback, and everything in between. We’ve ventured to some of the most remote and stunning locations, and we can’t wait to continue the journey with this new van.

How did you learn about SEEKR? What product(s) of ours do you have onboard? How’s it working out for you?

We came across SEEKR while researching high-quality fans for our new van build. Ventilation is incredibly important when you’re living in a van, especially during the warmer months. We’ve installed 1 Sirocco fan onboard our previous van, and we’re very impressed at how well they help with air circulation, particularly for our two cats who travel with us. So far, the build quality and design have exceeded our expectations, and we’re confident they’ll keep us cool and comfortable on the road and in the new van. 

What’s next on your adventure checklist? Any plans for the near future? Distant future?

We just got back from a 3-week trip around New Zealand’s North Island in a rented campervan. It’s a bit of a detour from our current van build, but we took the opportunity to teach Wade's parents how to free camp and experience van life for themselves! Now that we're back, we’ll be diving back into our build, and once it’s completed, we plan to take our new van on an epic journey around Australia again, revisiting our favourite spots and exploring new ones.
