Off Grid Living & Adventure Travel

Hi, I’m Nic a digital nomad, wandering soul and adventure addict. Since 2018 I have been living and travelling by campervan and backpack with my partner Sam and pup, Lord Onyx.

With our experience converting six campervans, we’ve created lots of van conversion resources to help you with your own project. Once your van is ready, explore the blog for recommendations on must-visit places across the UK and Europe, from sunny Portugal to snowy Scandinavia.

Beyond the wheels, we thrive on travel challenges. We have taken on a 12-day, 250km hike through the Jordan desert to an 8-day, 480km cycling and camping adventure in Northumberland, we’re always up for wild adventures.

Follow our socials YouTube & Instagram for alternative living and adventure travel stories that aim to inspire you to tread your own path, get outdoors and have some f**king fun with life!

Give us a beep if you see us on the road!

Join Nic in the Wild!

Hone your wilderness skills and reconnect with nature and our primal instincts.

Nic brings you Retreat Wild, a bushcraft and rewilding adventure. It is all about learning bushcraft skills to be prepared when out in the wild, reawakening knowledge lost between humans and our environment and simply, being present in the wilderness, rewilding ourselves and living in tune with nature.

Retreat Wild workshops are immersive experiences that entwine bushcraft, foraging, wild crafts, wellness and adventure. They’re the perfect place to retreat into the wild and take space from the chaotic modern world.
