Kay Parry

Hello & welcome!

Hi, I’m kay, and this blog is something I’ve been contemplating for a while. After much thought (and a lot of oat vanilla matcha lattes), I decided to finally take the plunge and share my journey. Here, I’ll be documenting my adventures living on a narrowboat, creating vegan recipes, and embracing a life full of travel and alternative living.

I currently work full-time, but over the past 18 months, I’ve made one of the biggest decisions of my life: I left my little terraced rental in Cheshire and traded it in for life on a narrowboat in London. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I’ve learned so much about living simply and outside the conventional box.

I’ll be sharing the entire process – from the challenges I faced to the unexpected joys of living on the water. It’s been an eye-opening experience, and for anyone considering a similar lifestyle, I hope my journey provides some helpful insight.

With a background in catering, I’ve always had a love for creating delicious food. These days, I’ve taken that passion into the world of vegan cooking. Whether it’s crafting easy-to-make meals on a tiny boat kitchen or testing out new recipes for my camper van trips, I love experimenting with plant-based dishes, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

I love hitting the road around the UK in my VW T4 camper when I’m not embarking on travels through Europe. I find so much inspiration in seeing new places and experiencing new cultures. I’ll also be sharing some of my travel stories and tips for anyone who loves the open road.

This blog is all about embracing the unexpected, living alternatively, and finding joy in the simple things. I’m excited to share my journey with you and would love for you to follow along. Feel free to join me in this adventure, whether you’re curious about living on a narrowboat, love vegan food, or are just looking for some travel inspiration! :)
