About Otis and Us vanife blog
I am Katy, and Otis and us is a UK Vanlife blog sharing travel tips, vanlife with kids, vanlife with a dog and our family travel and life in between. I am a wife to Paul, and together we have three beautiful children aged 11, 8 and 5.
We love to travel, and after we had our first child , we purchased our Camper van Otis. Otis is a VWT5. We have spent the last few years converting our van to a campervan we are now a family of five in a T5 camper. Last year we introduced a golden retriever into our family and now enjoy vanlife with our dog, who loves exploring as much as us.
We love spending time outdoors, exploring, camping, and travelling on a budget. Life is an adventure, and we hope to share our adventures, share our vanlife tips and tricks and to inspire you along the way.
I started this travel blog during my maternity leave with my third child. I wanted the opportunity to record and share our travels and adventures, our favourite destinations, our vanlife tips as our family has grown, and vanlife road trip itineraries that have worked for us.
