A spontaneously booked flight tickets to Australia on my birthday. A few weeks later, I landed on the other side of the globe no clue what to do next. Eventually, I decided to look for a cheap car rental, I’ve got just enough money for some modest vehicle and an ice-cream.
In a sleepy and dusty car rental on the outskirts of Sydney I found what I’ve been looking for: an old beaten van which you had to enter via the trunk. I fell in love on the spot, it was a car with a soul and stories to tell… I
Not thinking twice, I’ve signed all the papers and got the keys. Due to the lack of better ideas, I went to the beach. Beach is always a good idea.

Driven by the moment, I decided to clean up the van and make it my home. I have realized that Mrs BIG needed a new life…and so did I. This thought made me peaceful and calm as I felt I’ve found my calling.
I called up my Australian friends to share this big news and my happiness. As they understood the magnitude of my plans, they were quick to help and find all the missing equipment: military mattress, touristic retro fridge and half-full gas stove from their last trip. The van changed into cozy apartment with a private view on many sunsets and sunrises. Me and Mr.
Big were set to go!

After coming back to my home in Poland I couldn’t settle into a regular life. The office job became exhausting, the view from the windows was not right, city life was working on my nerves. Few weeks passed by until I made a decision – I’m gonna build my own Mr BIG.
I’ve collected all my travel experience and created a camper which was a perfect home for me.
On one day, I closed all my affairs, packed up and left to travel across Europe to look for my place on Earth. Eventually, I fell in love in Andalusia and settled here. This is the place were my business was born, and the whole van family.I called up my Australian friends to share this big news and my happiness.
