Lara Dopson said she has spent the past year travelling around Europe in a campervan with her dog, Maple. In April 2025 she sold her belongings and set off between Greece and the UK, then rented a van for two weeks along the Welsh coast. She bought her own campervan in September 2025 and drove to Scotland, where the electrics failed, the boiler broke and skylights leaked in the first days. Over 12 months she drove through France, Spain, Italy and the Balkans to Greece, and said van life requires handling repairs, utilities and overnight planning herself.
