Description

Thinking about solo travel Australia, but not sure where to start? In this episode of Big Lap Chats, Annette sits down with solo traveller Rose Pengilly, who has spent more than 17 months exploring Australia on her own.

Rose shares how she set up her motorhome for comfort and safety, her must-have non-negotiables for long-term travel, and what it’s really like free camping as a woman on the road.

You’ll hear her best money-saving hacks, from using fuel apps to shopping smart in remote towns, plus her favourite free camps and bucket list adventures, including swimming with whale sharks and the unforgettable Horizontal Falls.

If you’re dreaming of a Big Lap, planning your own van life adventure, or simply curious about the realities of travelling Australia solo, this inspiring and practical conversation will give you the confidence to take the next step.

Tune in and discover why the freedom of the open road is worth chasing, even if you’re travelling solo.
