Introducing VivaLaVida, my travel partner
Here it is! After several months of research, I found my travel partner: VivaLaVida is a 2010 diesel Ford van which is about to be transformed to become my traveling companion.I bought it in the United States for several reasons: it’s easy to turn this van in an expedition vehicle at an affordable price and then to register it for travelling. Do the same in Europe amounted to more than double the budget for a vehicle may be less suitable in the end.
VivalaVida is now being processed. First, it will receive a “Heavy duty” 4×4 transmission with amenities that will turn it in the “go anywhere” vehicle I imagined. When first step completed, he will receive a high top, additional windows and a custom built interior with many amenities to become my home on wheels … I will come back over the construction.
