About
The van's still here.
A bloke in his 40s. Adelaide-based, always on the road. Vegan eating, long runs, and a van some of the time. I work in SEO and keep entering things I'm underqualified for.
The van's still here. It's just not the whole story anymore. (And yes, it's Waz with a z. People hear "was". That's fine. You're in the right place.)
not an expert. just there.
It started as the van and what I cooked in it. Then I ran 56 km for some reason, and that stopped being the whole story. Same person. Wider brief. Worse at saying no.
The van
It's a 2019 Toyota HiAce. I live in it some of the time, and I work from it when the reception agrees. The first big trip, the one that was going to be a lap north, got as far as Alice Springs. I turned around. That story is a video, not a metaphor.
Month one at Port Augusta is the other one worth watching if you want the unvarnished version. Cold nights. A laptop. Less freedom than the thumbnail implies.
Road to 100
In September 2026 I ran a 56 km trail ultra on about seven weeks of training. It went better than it had any right to. So naturally I've entered a 100 km race on 15 May 2027. I don't have a noble reason. I signed up. I'll film the training from the van, including the weeks that are a slog.

The Yurrebilla 56 km film is on the videos page. Training films will sit there too.
The other things I keep saying yes to
Vegan eating, which is just how I eat. It isn't a sermon. Cycling, when the van is parked and my knees aren't already complaining about the running. Comedy is the seasoning, usually at my expense. I am not a standup. If a week is ridiculous, I'll say so.
Those aren't separate shows yet. They turn up inside the travel, or they wait until there's enough of them to deserve a door of their own.
