The Indie Projects
The Alternative Living podcast is a series of conversations between ourselves (Theo & Bee - The Indie Projects) and the many people we have met during our travels in both our van and narrowboat. Discussing a number of topics - including why they chose to live/travel the way they do, off-grid living, challenges they have faced, inspiration and advice for others looking to do the same - we shed light and inform others of the alternative lifestyles available to all.

#05 Should You Renovate an Old Campervan?
Welcome to our fifth episode of the alternative living podcast!  At the end of September we were invited to spend the weekend at Camp Quirky, hosted by Quirky Campers, who had around 30 self build camper vans all lined out beautifully in a sunny field in the cotswolds for a couple of nights.  There was so much inspiration for us as we are planning on buying a bigger van in the new year, so it was amazing to see so many different lay outs and chat to so many people who have done it themselves.  As usual we filmed the whole thing, so here's a link to the film where you can see all the vans we got to see. As well as a host of gorgeous vans we met up with some familiar faces, including Rich from Beyond The Van who we’ve recorded the next podcast with, and Ellie and Scott who we met back in August to create a film about their gorgeous van Florence.

#01 Living, Working and Travelling on a Narrowboat Full-Time with Robbie Cumming
This week we met up with Robbie Cumming; a full-time live aboard on a 42ft narrowboat who has been travelling in his boat Naughty Lass for two years now. As a continuous cruiser Robbie is always on the move, and as well as finding new locations to stay he works remotely and makes youtube videos of his endeavours. We travelled to Sheffield to film a tour of his boat, and sat down with a cup of coffee to discuss all things tiny floating home.
