Hi there! Im Dario, originally from Germany, and Ive been living in Melbourne for the past two years with my amazing partner Shona, whos from the UK. When we first landed in Australia, we bought The Salty Commuter with big dreams of exploring the country from top to bottom. But, as life would have it, we quickly fell in love with Melbourne and found jobs were passionate about, Im a surf coach and Shona is a psychologist. Although city life keeps us busy, The Salty Commuter remains our go-to escape. We love taking her down the coast to unwind, catch waves, and soak up nature. Now, were excited to share this cosy, home-built van with fellow adventurers looking to enjoy the same freedom and salty breeze.
