The 'ME TIME' Hack every vanlife couple needs! (Gordon | Snug Falls)
Vanlife isn’t always easy, especially when it comes to finding personal space in a tiny home on wheels! In this video, we’re sharing a simple but effective hack we use to enjoy our “me time” while traveling. From gym sessions to movie nights, we’ve found a way to make vanlife work for both of us!
But that’s not all - this week, we stayed at the beautiful Gordon Foreshore Reserve, soaking up the peaceful lakeside vibes. We also explored the stunning Snug Falls, a hidden gem in Tasmania, perfect for nature lovers. 🌿✨

    Why do you use the word ‘hack’? People pick up these words such as ‘absolutely’ for yes, and ‘like’ interjected a hundred times in a sentence. Fair dinkum it raises my hack.les! A hint, a trick but definitely not a hack. Thanks for your vid though. 👍🏻🙏🦘

    Wow guys some amazing views for sure. Even when you’re on the level Sandy if it’s crooked underfoot it proves to take it out on your knees. 2k is quite difficult on uneven terrain too. The views were worth your efforts though. Tim has the right idea, as soon as the hard work is done the Brit in him comes out and a cup of tea and biscuits always solves everyone’s problems and fixes everything 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing guys and see you again soon 🤗🤗🤗👍👍🙌🙌🙌🤩
