Samantha is an Interior Designer by profession who decided that two years ago, there had to be more to life than working the 9-5 grind. She started her professional life with a Degree in Criminology that came crashing down when she wasn't accepted into the police force to work in Forensics due to a physical disability (she is totally blind in one eye). Not to be deterred, she changed pace dramatically and became a flight attendant for eight years and did a further degree in Interior Design and Construction. When the airline she worked for collapsed she once again pivoted and ran her own business, was a retail manager and later became a business consultant, visual merchandiser and then followed her one true passion and became an interior stylist and designer. During all those career changes, Samantha and her husband renovated and flipped houses and apartments... 13 in fact! She became a mother and then decided in 2020 that she would tackle a new kind of renovation... a vintage caravan. Growing up, like many of us Samantha thought that the dream was the large home, backyard, inground pool and double garage. However, as she grew older and wiser, she and Herb started to downsize before realising that some of her fondest childhood memories stemmed back to a cubby house that her father built her when she was just five. Complete with an intercom, curtains, front deck and kitchen, going back to her roots meant a newfound hobby and passion and it ignited something that she proclaims is hard to describe. She certainly takes after her dad and her only regret in life is that she didn't get to know him better and that he is not around to see what a beautiful life she has created and how much of an influence he has actually been. Samantha renovated 'Hunter' (a 1973 Viscount Royal) with her husband and then worked on the renovation flips of 'Daisy' and 'Clementine' with a friend (also vintage caravans). All three were sold and that brings you up to date with the story of Mr Pemberton, the very much loved bus conversion and tiny home that Samantha and Herb now travel around Australia in.
