Hi! I’m Hollie — a mum of two and a wildly passionate van lifer. I spend my weekends and school holidays travelling across the UK and Europe in my converted VW Crafter with my children, making the most of every adventure we can find.

I founded These Girls VAN, a community for women who want to travel solo! The idea came from the countless messages I’ve received over the past four years from women seeking advice, reassurance, and encouragement to start their own van life journeys. Many have shared fears about travelling alone, and I knew it was time for us to come together and support one another. My belief is simple: if I can do it, any woman can.

I’m deeply passionate about empowering women to believe in themselves and embrace their independence. Through These Girls VAN, we host group camping trips once every season, bringing together an incredible community of women who uplift and inspire each other. My greatest joy is seeing these women grow in confidence — taking their vans on solo trips, planning new adventures, and finally living the journeys they’ve always dreamed of.
