Festival Fashion

I'm known as "the Sparkly Captain" among my friends ever since comedian Russell Kane bellowed it across the stage at me a few years ago. I don't believe in dressing down for an occasion – life is simply too short. So wear all the glitter and the most outrageous outfits, after all, festival fashion is a form of creative expression... isn't it?

I’ve always loved vanlife and road trips, but it wasn’t until the panny-d when I finally invested in a camper van of my own. I’ve road tripped across Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Bulgaria and many more.

Here I share all my guides on getting a camper van of your own, road trip inspiration, vanlife health checks and solo female vanlife.

Australia Festivals

Australia’s music festivals were a big part of my time spent travelling there on a working holiday visa. I loved finding festivals and building them into my route around the country. Rainbow Serpent was a real highlight and one I’ll never forget. But there were also so many bush raves and parties that went on outside of the festivals. Australians know how to party!
