From the winding roads of West Cork to the remote corners of Europe, Niamh Hasner and Ciarán O Mahony have transformed their passion for travel into a way of life.
This dynamic duo, known on TikTok as Two Peas in a Van, have converted a van into their own cosy home on wheels. Documenting the entire journey — from the van's transformation to their breathtaking road trips — inspiring others to do the same.
Niamh and Ciarán met nearly a decade ago during their final year of college, where fate made them housemates. Their friendship quickly blossomed into romance, and now the pair are living and working together.
Ciarán, a renewable energy specialist and DIY expert, and Niamh, a bookkeeper with a flair for interior design, combined their skills to create a van that's as practical as it is stylish. Equipped with solar panels, clever storage, and a functional kitchen, their van is designed for comfort and sustainability, making it the perfect companion for their travels.
Since sharing their story on TikTok in April, Two Peas in a Van has quickly grown a loyal following. From behind-the-scenes glimpses of their van conversion to scenic shots of their travels around Ireland, Niamh and Ciarán offer a unique window into the van life community, inspiring others to explore the open road.
And they’re just getting started.
With their wedding behind them, the couple plans to take their van further afield, exploring new countries and remote locations across Europe. Wherever they go next, they'll be bringing their followers along for the ride, sharing every twist and turn.
