In this episode of Big Lap Chats, we sit down with Casey and Zane from A Few Laps Around the Sun—a couple who swapped intensive care wards and plumbing jobs for full-time caravan travel around Australia.
Now three years into their journey, they share how they made the leap into vanlife, the real costs of living on the road, and how working as a nurse and a tradie helps them fund their Big Lap lifestyle. From choosing the right off-grid setup to the one mistake that could break your entire lap, this chat is packed with practical advice and hard-won wisdom.
Whether you're planning your first lap of Australia, curious about remote work and travel, or just looking for honest, real-life stories from Aussie caravanners—this episode is for you.
We chat about:
How they transitioned from traditional jobs to full-time travel
Budgeting tips and money-saving hacks on the road
Caravan weight safety (and why 80% of setups are overweight!)
Choosing the right off-grid setup for long-term travel
Fishing, free camps, and finding secret spots across WA
Work-life balance while travelling Australia
