Hi I'm Ems, 32 years old and have a big passion for travelling, creating art & making the world a better place.

At some point, the life I was living stopped making sense, so I decided to build something new.

I bought a van with zero build experience and spent years slowly converting it between working Festivals and Studying a Full-Time Graphic Design Degree.

No shortcuts, no blueprint, just learning by doing and trusting the process.

This website exists to share the journey, the freedom, the challenges, the places I’ve traveled before, during & after the build.

I share my honest opinions and moments from my travels. I hope my guides and tips help you along the way with your own journey. 

I am super excited to share all this with you and show you the evolution of VIOLET JOY - my purple hightop VW T4 van.
