#79 – Van Life by Design: Lifestyle & Financial Freedom with Tania Differding, Director Achtung Camper
In this episode of the Fine Answers Podcast, Jay sits down with Tania Differding from Achtung Camper.
How does one turn a passion for adventure and freedom into a thriving business? This is the journey we explore with Tania, where the roads of finance, lifestyle, and the allure of van life intersect.
Tania's story starts with her roots in marketing, a talent for writing, and a leap of faith into the world of campervans. From the humble beginnings in a leaky warehouse, Tania narrates the evolution of Achtung Camper to its current success in Geelong, producing 66 bespoke campers annually. This journey wasn't just about building a business; it was about crafting a lifestyle, a sentiment echoed in the principles derived from Tim Ferriss's "The 4-Hour Work Week." Tania delves into the influence of this book on Achtung Camper, highlighting the importance of efficiency, outsourcing, and the savvy use of technology in today's business landscape.
As we traverse the scenic routes of Australia through Tania's eyes, she shares her favorite destinations and offers invaluable tips for those itching to start their van life adventure. For the aspiring entrepreneurs among our listeners, Tania provides insights into the dos and don'ts in business, drawing from her rich experiences with Achtung Camper.
Navigating through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tania discusses how supply chain issues and a spike in domestic travel demand shaped the recent landscape for campervan enthusiasts. Her story is one of resilience, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of a dream.
