Hey, I’m Tia- the girl behind the wheel, the camera, and the tools.

I was 22 when I bought my first van. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, but something in me knew I needed a change. I’d never used a drill, wired a light, or built anything in my life, but I threw myself into it anyway. With borrowed tools, late nights, sore hands, and a lot of trial and error, I turned an empty shell into a tiny home on wheels.

That van became more than just a build, it became my escape, my challenge, my comfort zone and my wild adventure all in one. It took me across the UK, all the way to Africa and back, and through a journey that changed who I am. I’ve laughed in that van, cried in it, broken down (emotionally but never mechanically, hence me buying a 2nd 2006 sprinter!), and learned that I’m a hell of a lot more capable than I ever thought.
