Hi, I'm Paul

Joined on November 5, 2025

Hi, I'm Paul! I grew up in Sydney and spent over a decade living in France and Germany, and working in the Netherlands. After exploring the world, I've returned home to Australia and found a new appreciation for its nature and relaxed lifestyle... and few things compare to experiencing that on the open road! I'm passionate about languages. I speak fluent French and German, I'm improving my Spanish, and I plan to learn Mandarin, Arabic and Portuguese in the future. I also love playing piano, guitar and drums. I'm an animal lover (especially dogs) and have a real appreciation for Australia's native flora and fauna. You'll often find me out bushwalking and learning more about our amazing natural environment, or out on the coast learning to surf. I take pride in keeping my campervan clean, comfortable and ready for adventure, and I enjoy helping others experience the freedom of exploring Australia at their own pace.

It was an absolute pleasure hiring Arcturus and will be recommending it to all my friends and family! The fit out is great and practical and the bed is super comfortable Paul was a pleasure to communicate with. He helped us understand how to take care of the van and it came in perfect condition. He was also very patient with us post hire and for that we are very grateful Overall it was a 10/10 experience hiring this an and will be doing so again in the near future

Amazing van, easy to drive and wonderful to live in for over 3 weeks travelling the East Coast. Paul was great with communication and really flexible on extras and offered a great rate with a one way pick up, meeting us in Brisbane. Would highly recommend Paul and this van - hope to return again and continue our adventures, would definitely hire again. Many thanks Paul

I had a great experience with Arcturus! Paul, the owner, is extremely attentive, and that was a big factor in making the experience good, right from the booking process. I think it's difficult to find another owner who is as helpful as him. Furthermore, Paul is extremely careful about the details and improvements at Arcturus, which is reflected in the excellent state of preservation, utensils, bedding, and towels provided. The bed is also very comfortable!!

11/10 experience. This was our first time hiring a campervan and Paul could not have made it easier. From the moment we booked, communication was clear, friendly, and super fast. The van felt brand new. It drove perfectly, was spotless, incredibly well equipped, and exactly as described (if not better) - great optional extras offered too, we had a blast on the body boards. Paul was very flexible with pickup and drop off times, and genuinely cared that we had a great trip. If youre on the fence book this van. We already plan to rehire for our next adventure. Honestly felt like borrowing a van from a friend. Would recommend without hesitation.

It was such a joy spending the weekend in Arcturus. The van drives well and is super comfortable. Had a lovely time down the south coast, perfect for short or long trips. Paul was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed. High recommend Arcturus

An incredible trip in an amazing van! Zarya is absolutely magical for van adventures: modern, fully equipped, easy to drive, and super comfortable. The van was also spotless and perfectly organized. Paul is a passionate and flexible host who truly takes great care of his guests I highly recommend him! Thanks again, Paul!
