Book Publication: Retired and Inspired: Finding our own Way 

In April 2026 Nicky Published the story of the first five years of our journey through nomadic life and pet sitting.  

The Amazon blurb reads: 

This isn’t just a book about van life. Or reinvention. Or midlife.

It’s about what happens when you start living in a different way without quite realising that’s what you’re doing.

From becoming accidental van lifers to building a flexible business around pet sitting, this is a story of stepping away from bricks and mortar, and everything that comes with it.

Downsizing. Managing finances. Navigating travel restrictions and uncertainty.

But alongside the practicalities come the bigger questions. About identity and purpose.

About what home really means when it’s no longer tied to one place.

And, as we discovered, those questions don’t come with simple answers.

What followed was a life shaped by movement. New places, new routines, new ways of living. Moments of chaos, moments of calm, and a growing understanding that the life we’d stepped into wasn’t the one we’d planned, but one we were learning to embrace.

Join Nicky, Andy, and Gus on the road in this honest account of life, travel, and everything in between.
