Eighteen months ago, she made the bold decision to sell her house and embrace full-time van life.While travelling through Europe, she discovered Portugal and fell in love with a small quinta—an olive farm—which she purchased as an investment. She now splits her time between the UK and Portugal, travelling between the two.She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and experiences with others, particularly those who value freedom and are seeking a different way of living.Never one to shy away from a challenge, she also pushed herself far outside her comfort zone by completing an intensive motorcycle course and passing her full bike licence just before selling her home.A strong believer in personal growth, she lives by the idea that stepping outside your comfort zone is essential, because without it, real change and growth are hard to achieve.You can connect with Yvonne online here:TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@lifebetweenthewheelsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifebetweenthewheelsLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/yvonne-hemmings
