Co-founder, author, developer, and van geek at FarOutRide.com. Antoine graduated as an aerospace mechanical engineer and worked in the industry for several years. He eventually made the leap to a full-time life on the road in his self-built campervan, chasing his passions like mountain biking and skiing. Somewhere along the way he got obsessed with anything and everything related to vans, and today FarOutRide.com is considered one of the most trusted reference for DIY van conversions thanks to the fact-based guides and hands-on build experience.

We’re currently planning everything! The Ford Transit van will be acquired anytime between now and March 2016. The camper van conversion will begin in Spring 2016. The trip is planned for 2017. We’ll keep the site updated as the project progress. Meanwhile, here are some photos and videos from past trips. Cheers, Antoine
