Life in campervan, not so easy...
Hello everyone !
I will tell you about our beginning of the van trip and the difficulties encountered! Before coming to Australia, we did not think it would be so hard to get used ... (especially for my girlfriend) We will talk about the benefits of van life later in an other post!
We bought our van in Perth in the Western Australia and from that moment the journey began !
For a Frenchman the first difficulty was driving on the left. I did not tend to be centered in the middle of the road when I drove... My girldfriend was scared : "you drive too much to the right" or "you drive too much to the left"! It was only the first hour we have the campervan.
Then we took the highway. And here, the fifth gear was very hard! Our van and its 260 000 kilometers on the clock was not very young.
Other difficulties were present... We did not have the comforts of home. No toilets or showers available in the van. The water did not flow from the tap... Every day, we were looking for a shower and toilet. Sometimes we did not find showers, so we smell very good, and nature was used as a toilet.
To do the dishes we had to find a tap, or settle us behind our van and run water from our can ...
The purpose of the van is to be able to sleep everywhere, but the first nights were hard. In fact, it was cold, we did not have quilt. We had less space than in a bed and everyone found that the other took up too much space...
The last negative point that I would like to talk about is having to unpack and repack all his stuff all the time. For example, to eat you had to take the table, the chairs, and the cooking equipment out of the van.
Haha oui rouler à gauche ! J'espère que la suite sera tout aussi plaisante à lire et nous donnera encore envie de voyager ! 😊😊
Merci! Là, nous avons vu les mauvais côtés du van, mais les bons côtés les dépassent tellement... Pensez vous que je devrai publier en français et en anglais mes articles?
Oui sûrement ! Et c'est pour ça d'ailleurs que nous avons hâte de découvrir la suite 😊
Oui je pense que publier aussi en français pourrait faire encore plus grandir la communauté francophone !
Je vais penser à traduire mes publications alors, merci pour ton retour!
salut j'allai justement te répondre que tu devrais faire les 2 versions anglais français, mais du coup je répond sur ce commentaire, je te conseille aussi de suivre mon journal d'un steemien débutant je pense que tu y trouveras pas mal de petits trucs pour avancer plus vite, bonne journée
Merci pour ta remarque! Je vais aller faire un tour sur ta page :)
de rien, à plus
