Gnomad Home

Many of us dream of escaping the rat race and the tyranny of the nine-top-five grind. Jayme and John Serbell did just that, and the driving force behind them taking to "van life" was their beloved dogs.

With humour and honesty, Jayme and John discuss the whole process of taking on van life, and what it means to them and their dogs. You can find out more at the Gnomad Home website.

When we first got the van, and we were building it, we would only put the dogs in the van when we were going to do something fun, so that they kept associating the van with fun things.
 - Jayme Serbel

Giving up your pet is a difficult decision, it's not something that people take lightly and we 100% understand that.
