terra trotter
terra trotter was created in june of 2023 when the search for the perfect van began, but the idea was born back in 2013, when i decided that i would be seeing the world with a camper van, one way or another. in september 2023, when we bought our van, that dream officially became a reality.

the branding
i chose the terracota colour becuase this earthy colour creates a cosy effect and has a connection to nature. the name, terra trotter, is a play of words on globe trotter and terracota. the slogan, lost in time and spain, is a play on the expression "lost in time and space", referencing the travel element of the channel. teh country will go changing as we travel though europe.
