It's much harder to wild camp in Portugal due to fines and the threat of being moved on, so because my travel buddy Sandra has to pop back to Ireland for a few days we decided it would be easier and safer to stay on a campsite for a few days.
During this down time I met up with another fellow Van lifer and Veteran Linny who spends most of her time on road to explore the area of Tavira and the Rio Formosa in search of the famous Portuguese Tart.
Once my travel buddy returned we set off in our camper vans to explore the ancient capital of Silves and find ourselves at another quirky little campsite called Mikkis Place which was very bohemian and another place to rest up before heading Northwards on our home journey back to the UK

Winters in the UK can be miserable especially when living on a boat and with all the canal lock closures for maintenance, I began to feel a little trapped. So for the next 2 months I decided to join up with another fellow solo female traveller and set off across Europe in our two very old camper vans in search of sunshine and to experience Van life at it's best.
I hope you enjoy something a little different as I swap boat life for van life.

Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.
