Mini bio
Before the van.
Bec grew up in Warrnambool and joined the Royal Australian Air Force at 18 as a medic. She met Justin while they were posted in Newcastle. After leaving the Air Force, they lived in Canada; Bec later worked in pathology and completed a nursing degree while raising their three children.
A year that kept going.
In December 2015, Bec and Justin sold their Newcastle home and set off with Jack, Billy and Charli. The planned twelve-month lap became eight years of full-time travel. Sharing the journey through Trip In A Van grew into their work, with road-trip advice and family experiences at its heart.
Putting the lessons on paper.
Their first printed guide arrived in 2022, combining advice on vehicles, budgeting and schooling with itineraries across Australia. Bucket List Experiences followed in November 2025. They now have a Queensland home base and continue travelling during school holidays. Alongside the books, Bec and Justin design practical travel products under the Trip In A Van name.
