My favorite location must be Broome, which is a little pearling town in the remote, rugged North West. With warm temperatures, blue seas and stunning scenery Broome has a relaxing tropical vibe that can’t be matched. There’s a local saying “Slip into Broome time” which means living in a constant state of slow-paced relaxation. I’ve been lucky enough to live and work in Broome, and I keep finding myself returning there.

It can be challenging reducing the among of gear you want to take compared to what will fit in your Kombi, but on the upside living a simple, minimalist lifestyle is liberating.

I always love having everything I need with me, just park, pop the top and relax. VW Buses are so eye-catching and approachable, people always seem to come over for a chat or have their own story about a VW Bus, so I really enjoy how happy this little bus makes other people.

VW Buses have that undeniable cool factor. An image that evokes emotions of living a free, fun, and adventurous lifestyle. That’s why we love them! Buying a Kombi is the easy part, now the fun begins!

I recommend going on a few short trips to get to know your Kombi before you take off on a big adventure. Pack light as Kombis’ are small and space is precious, you’ll definitely appreciate the extra room when you’re traveling.

VW Buses, like most vintage cars, are old and may break down occasionally, so don’t be scared, be prepared. Pack a tow rope, a toolbox, manual and get roadside assistance with your insurance.

Lastly, go with the flow and don’t stress, you’ll quickly learn to be independent, resourceful and know that all your problems can be solved – most importantly make sure to enjoy the journey.
