We kick off our Tuscan road trip by visiting the capital of Tuscany, Florence. We start the day the Italian way and take in the beautiful, yet busy city. We head off into nature and find a campsite amongst a vineyard, all to ourselves. However when we get there we experience a couple of van life mishaps, a broken fridge and we run out of gas! The next day we head to a cafe to have our morning coffee and we start Tuscany’s best hike on all trails, Colle Val d’Elsa – Cascata del Diborrato – San Marziale. Tom’s bottle floats away and we move on to Monteriggioni, a beautiful medieval town, where one beer sends Iz a bit bonkers. We find a wild camping spot amongst vineyards and watch the storms from the comfort of La Bamba. We pop into Siena on day 3 as we take some of the most incredible and stereotypical drives in Tuscany. We finish the day at a campsite where you can order pizza straight to the campsite! On our final day on this roadtrip we walk to the Cascata del Molino, Saturnia, the famous hot springs here at 6 in the morning so we have the place to ourselves. It was amazing, 37 degrees warm water from natural suphurous water. We are in such a good mood and head to our final destination to see what Tuscany’s coastline has to offer.

If you’re new here, we’re Tom and Iz, a couple who have been living in a van for the last four years. We’ve explored Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Romania and the UK in our little home on wheels, our Ford transit van named La Bamba. If you missed any of these series you can check them out in our playlists. We recently got back from a 10 week trip to Nepal (without the van), trekking in the Himalayas. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3wFE2cgjPJea1bAePdmbFM5AiztWz8z
After that we did an Epic UK Van Life series where we pushed ourselves to our limits in the great British winter. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3wFE2cgjPI94IgOISP5_lnDCIGhYFiH
We wanted to make the most of the UK winter and enjoy it’s beauty. Now we are traveling as far south as we can in our van, come and join us each week 🙂

Thank you for watching!
Good work, great drone shots, izzies energy is infectious. You’re building a great channel
Absolutely delightful episode guys! Y’all are getting soooo good at what you do…and you are doing it!!😊❤
Great Energy!!
Awesome 😊❤
I've just overtaken you guys on my road trip, arriving in Patras Greece later today with my ship from Ancona
That was such an enjoyable watch guys. Heres a wee tip you may already know , but when your bigger gas bottle runs out , give it a good shake and you will get a decent bit more out of it.
Grazie mille per il fantastico video. Ottimo scenario e cibo, con molte risate. ❤
I’m so glad you 🤕bought the outdoor cooker, I was willing you on to do it. It looked so worth getting up super early for those hot springs. The thing that I enjoyed because it made me laugh was when you said Tom had lost his bottle in the water. I thought you meant he was chickening out of a cold swim, but his water bottle was actually floating away 😅 doh! 😒🙄
Well done you two, fantastic vlog😊
Well what a video, what content, from hectic Florence to the sticks all in Tuscany, well done both. We managed the Uffizi when we visited, booked it first thing and viewed it after lunch however we didn’t have time to do it justice really. Cheers Mike🍷🍷
Absolutely beautiful place….and you 2 are having the best time of your lives 😊👍

Hi Tom & Izzy, sorry we are late to the party this week as we have been away for the Bank Hols. Absolutely loved your Tuscany adventure this week. We are just laughing at Izzy ..she reminds us of the Duracell bunny, she just never stops dancing and singing lol :0D
if you are still in Tuscany go to mount Amita it's beautiful and there are park ups on the mountain
I didn’t know Harry McGuire went van life, but seems the right move at this point..
