My first van was very ascetic and had only the most essential equipment for survival, such as a bed and a camping stove.
Because of harsh Finnish winters for six years I spent only summers and autumns in my van, with the exception of my first trip in 2012 around Europe, which lasted a whole year. In 2017, I bought a high-top van named Kiito, in which I could finally stand up straight in.
This time I wanted to properly build the van into a permanent home, my remote job finally enabling my long-term dream of living in a van full-time. Thanks to high quality insulation, a solar panel on the roof and a diesel heater, my toes will no longer be cold! Except for the roof hatch and the electrical system, my van home has been lovingly built with my own hands, and the furniture has mostly been made from recycled materials.
Later I painted white Kiito green with a roller, so that we blend better into the bush landscape. I have adventured in the following countries: Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Czech Republic, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.
