We head into Serbia to explore the Northern region, but a drone crash and a phone call from our friends about a dog rescue changes all our plans. So begins a series of events that unfolded unexpectedly. Feeling like we are being trolled by the universe, but bonded closer than before with our good friends Chesca and Ben from @Overlanding Sophia  Needless to say, life isn&#8217;t always simple, and it doesn&#8217;t always work out, but we all just keep going!<\/p>\n<p>\u2908 WHO WE ARE \u2908<br \/>\nWe are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. So after waiting for six months for the borders to reopen in Ireland we finally hit the road in June 2021 and spent 90 days enjoying vanlife in Spain. Followed by two months in Croatia, a month in Serbia which stole our hearts. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. We spent three glorious months here meeting other vanlifers and experiencing these rich cultures only to have to drive all the way back in time for our MOT. Enroute we stoped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But now we are back on our feet, fully MOT\u2019d and back on the road through Europe and beyond!!<\/p>\n<p>\u2908SUPPORT US\u2908<\/p>\n<p>\u2908OUR STICKER SHOP \u2908<\/p>\n<p>\u2908 Fiido E-Bike \u2908 <\/p>\n<p>\u2908 EcoFLow Power Bank \u2908 <\/p>\n<p>\u2908 SECURITY PURCHASES\u2908<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd Safe&#8217;s Small Tech &#038; Document Safe:<br \/>\nLaptop Safe:<br \/>\nMassive Safe:<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd Driving Locks<br \/>\nSteering Wheel Bar:<br \/>\nDisc Lock:<br \/>\nWheel Clamp:<br \/>\nClutch Pedal Lock:<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd CCTV Camera&#8217;s<br \/>\nCOOAU:<br \/>\nTOUCAN:<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd AntiSmash Film<br \/>\n0.76m x 5m:<br \/>\n1m x 2m:<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd Tracker&#8217;s<br \/>\nOne Off Payment:<br \/>\nSubscription:<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd Stickers<br \/>\nCCTV Transparent:<br \/>\nNo Valuables Transparent:  <\/p>\n<p>\u2908 VIDEO CHAPTERS \u2908<br \/>\n0:00 \u2013 1:24 \u2013 Leaving Croatia<br \/>\n1:24 \u2013 03:15 \u2013 Heading to Serbia<br \/>\n03:15 \u2013 03:53 \u2013 First Stop<br \/>\n03:53 \u2013 04:55 \u2013 Next Stop<br \/>\n04:55 \u2013 08:25\u2013 Exploring Sombor<br \/>\n08:25 \u2013 09:57 \u2013 Drone Fiasco<br \/>\n09:57 \u2013 12:02 &#8211; RESCUE MISSION BEGINS<br \/>\n12:02 \u2013 13:37 \u2013 Getting Supplies<br \/>\n13:37 \u2013 14:23 \u2013 Are we ready<br \/>\n14:23 \u2013 15:06 \u2013 The waiting begins<br \/>\n15:06 \u2013 18:00  \u2013 Pavlovac Monastery<br \/>\n18:00 &#8211; 19:11 &#8211; More stalling<br \/>\n19:11 &#8211; 21:10 &#8211; Are we being trolled?<br \/>\n21:10 &#8211; 22:00 &#8211; At the end of my tether<br \/>\n22:00 &#8211; 24:14 &#8211; The story so far<br \/>\n24:14 &#8211; 26:10 &#8211; The unhappy ending<br \/>\n\u2003<br \/>\nSUBSCRIBE if you are interested in our travels, van build, daily van life content and maybe some more vegan cooking too.<br \/>\nYou can follow our INSTAGRAM @chapterby_chapter<br \/>\nOr check out our blogs on: www.chapter-bychapter.com <\/p>\n<p>\u2908 CATCH UP \u2908<br \/>\nIreland Roadtrip \u2013<br \/>\nTurkey Roadtrip &#8211;<br \/>\nSerbia Roadtrip &#8211;<br \/>\n HALLOWEEN HORROR VLOG \u2013  <\/p>\n<p>\u2908 VLOGGING GEAR \u2908<br \/>\nBelow is the gear we use for vlogging as a few people have asked what we use.
