Hi I am Dianne your front end person and Cyrus is my back end person. My passion for VW campervans began as soon as I was old enough to drive. I bought my first Volkswagen bus in 1967 and drove straight to California, starting a lifetime of van-life adventures. Since then, I’ve crossed Canada six times, explored the U.S. from coast to coast, driven throughout Mexico, and even shipped my van to Hawaii, where I lived for several years.
In 2019 I shipped my Westfalia from Vancouver BC to Rotterdam and traveled across Europe and the British Isles for 5 months and in 2023 I rented a campervan in Brussels and wild camped with my two pups all over Europe for three months.. My vans have also been to Burning Man seven times, still carrying a bit of desert dust as a reminder of the memories made. My next dream adventure is to drive off-road through the Baja Peninsula. For now I am doing short trips around Vancouver island where there is so much to discover.
