A memoir of the author's solo trip around Portugal with only her old campervan, Myfawny, and her GPS, Tanya, for company. As she travelled, she contemplated a past breakdown and a present need for freedom A Van of One's Own is a journey through the breath-taking scenery of France, Spain, and finally Portugal, populated by colourful characters and the roar of the ocean, the taste of fresh fish and the grind of the asphalt; but more importantly, it is a journey through past memories and present conflicts to inner peace.
