About The Van Pilgrim
The Van Pilgrim aka Stuart Meaker is an ex-professional cricketer who originally hailed from South Africa but moved to “Sunny England” in 2001. He quickly established himself in the sporting world where he reached the dizzy heights of representing England in 2011.
Through his sport he was fortunate enough to have travelled to far off lands such as India, Sri-Lanka, New Zealand, Australia and many more. However, in the summer of 2021 he decided to call it a day on his 14-year professional cricketing career.
Not knowing what to do, where to go next or even who to be, he came across the idea of converting a Mercedes Sprinter into a camper-van during the first covid pandemic and fell in LOVE with the idea of seeing exciting new places, travelling the world and discovering himself in the process.
Since then he has managed to procure a 2015 LWB Sprinter van and is currently in the process of building it all himself.
