EP 28 | 15 Years of Van Life Across 4 Continents with 3 Kids + 2 Cats | @Mali.Mish
Description
Today we are joined by Dan & Marlene aka ‘Mali Mish’ who have been travelling full-time for the last 14 years with their 3 children & 2 cats. Now in their 15th year with no sign of them stopping their adventures!
During this time they have lived in many different vans, including 7 years in an airstream, all of which has enabled them to travel to 41 countries across 4 continents.
What set Dan & Marlene apart is that they STARTED their full-time travels as a family, after their first child was born, figuring out life as a family on the road, as they went.
And in this conversation, we talk all about
Raising nomadic kids & road-schooling
Their surprising game-changing van upgrades over the years
Van Life Europe vs. Van Life America
We shed light on the difficulties & realities of living on the road for a more rounded view of what can often be a glamourised lifestyle
and so much more!
They are known as ‘Mali Mish’ online as this translates to ‘Little Mouse’ in Croatian, which was the pet name that was given to Marlene by her grandmother as a child.

A couple of months ago, Adam and I visited one of our bucket list destinations; The Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan. A country most people haven’t heard of but if you have, it’s probably because it’s coined the ‘Happiest Country’, which famously prioritises its citizens happiness over national wealth...
