Two campervan road trips: north from Sydney, and out of Los Angeles into the desert

I've spent years chasing the quiet version of places everyone else rushes through, and nothing gets you there faster than swapping a hotel booking for a set of van keys.

Touring New Zealand with a Campervan Rental
