Many people dream of leaving behind the monotonous life of work and responsibilities to go on an adventure and enjoy the taste of freedom by travelling the length and breadth of the country. But only a few have the courage to actually do it. Siobhan Daniels, a 63-year-old former BBC journalist from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, UK, made this brave choice and has never looked back: three years ago she bought a £45,000 camper van that she affectionately calls “Dora the Explorer” and now uses it to travel the length and breadth of England.
Many people dream of leaving behind the monotonous life of work and responsibilities to go on an adventure and enjoy the taste of freedom by travelling the length and breadth of the country. But only a few have the courage to actually do it.
Siobhan Daniels, a 63-year-old former BBC journalist from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, UK, took the bold step and hasn’t looked back: three years ago she bought a £45,000 camper van that she affectionately named “Dora the Explorer” and now uses it to travel the length and breadth of England.
Along with the stress of her job, Siobhan has had to deal with the mood swings that came with menopause: “I was constantly worried and angry at the world,” she explained. Siobhan went on to explain that the
stress began to take over her life and made her “fake it” because she didn’t know who to turn to for advice.
After making sure her daughter, now 32, was OK, the 63-year-old decided to
change her life and try her hand at adventure.
Her new home includes a shower, fridge freezer and stove – she even fitted it with a gin bar. To this day, the former journalist shares the news of her life with her more than 5,000 Instagram followers.
Siobhan admitted there are things she misses about having a permanent home, but she loves her new
lifestyle. Although she has given up a more “comfortable” life, she said she is now “happier than ever”
and wants to show women that they can start over and live the life they want. at any age
