Kirianna and Lachlan Poole have been avid van travellers since 2017, their family of five exploring Australia and New Zealand in their beloved Kombi and caravan. The Slow Road is the result of their time travelling around New Zealand, and is an essential bible for anyone contemplating a trip by van or caravan.

This complete guide is packed full of information on what you need to know before you go, including buying or renting a van, getting ready to go, finding work while travelling, camping life, cooking, travelling with kids and the must-have apps to make travel easier.

All the key North and South Island destinations are covered, with advice on where to stay, eat, play and explore at each location.

With road-trip recipes, travel tips and stunning photos of jaw-dropping locations around Aotearoa, this book will have you ready to hit the road in no time.
