#11 Vee-Dubbing in the USA & Mexico!

Hello Van Fans!

***Listener Note- VFFs Vanlife Podcast was rebranded as She's At The Wheel Vanlife Podcast after this episode was released. Enjoy!

This week I'm talking all about the CLASSIC VW TYPE 2 CAMPERVAN!!!

How could anyone produce a vanlife podcast without covering the iconic VW Campervan?

On this episode I cover the history of this beautiful van, read some emails from you owners out there, and then I chat with the wonderful Lee and Willow, also known as The Kombi Chronicles!

Lee, Willow and their rescue cat Aimee have been road tripping the USA and Mexico ever since they shipped their 1976 VW Campervan over from the UK to the US a year and a half ago. We talk about the adventures they have had driving over 15,000 miles, hanging out in Baja California and the kindness of the VW community!

BONUS FEATURE- Picking up my mum's Citroen Romahome campervan! We finally got it back! Hurrah!!
