Read moreTHE GREAT CANADIAN ROAD TRIP - A PHOTO DIARY
If there is something we know for certain, it’s that we are happiest on a road trip. We have been roaming around in our campervan for years now and that carefree feeling as soon as you jump on road never gets old. The Canadian Rockies has been on our list for so long that when I asked Key where he wants to go for his 30th birthday, Canada was the only option. I can’t tell you how long I have been dreaming about road tripping through those epic mountains and seeing those *iconic* bluer than blue lakes. So, we booked a camper with Karma Campervans and a day after Key turned 30, we embarked on our adventure of a lifetime.

As part of a big road trip around Portugal, we were always on the lookout for charming towns to explore. Luckily, Portugal has an abundance of medieval towns and villages full of history, stunning architecture and tradition. Óbidos is possibly one of the most picturesque and well-preserved of them all.
Read moreA SUMMER ROAD TRIP THROUGH WALES, UNITED KINGDOM
As avid campers, we are not good at staying still. We love to seize the weekends for camping adventures and spend our evenings after work jumping in the van and heading out on a road trip. So when the world stopped during a pandemic, we found ourselves itching to be away more than ever. As the UK started to peel itself out of lockdown, we knew it was time to take to the road once more.
Read moreLAKE LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND
When I was busy working away to save up for our road trip adventure, I passed the time by daydreaming about what we would get up to when we were there. Slowly driving around the lakes of Switzerland and swimming in the clear water was a particularly favourite scene to visit when the hours dragged and dragged.
Read moreAPPENZELL, SWITZERLAND
During an epic road trip through Europe last summer, my partner and I stopped in Switzerland for a few weeks. We spent our time exploring the country and sleeping in our home on wheels. The natural wonder of Switzerland was at our doorstep. Although we loved driving around the sun-kissed roads, one of the best ways to really immerse ourselves in the country was to jump into our hiking boots and explore on foot.

Switzerland is one of those places you read lots of magical stories about and see beautiful photographs of. It wasn’t however somewhere I ever imagined that I would be able to visit (at least not anytime soon). Being one of the most expensive countries in Europe, it was a distant dream. That was until my partner and I decided to embark on a van life adventure last September.
Read moreTHE FAIRY TALE CITIES OF ALSACE, FRANCE
I have been dreaming about travelling around Europe in our campervan for a very, very long time. At the beginning of September this year, my partner and I finally packed up the van and headed across the water. Our trip saw us travel through France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. This wild and wonderful adventure was exactly what we had been craving.

It is no secret that Wales is absolutely beautiful. We have been travelling to Wales and camping out ever since we got the van and we are the biggest fans of the unspoiled lakes, forests and mountains. To top this off, Wales is so camper friendly and we always find an amazing spot to stay completely hassle-free . This weekend we found ourselves back on welsh soil exploring the gorgeous Elan Valley.
Read moreCORNWALL, ENGLAND
It's March right now in the UK and although this usually means we start to see daffodils grow and the sun out to say hi, this year March greeted us with snow. So much snow, that the UK pretty much stopped working for an entire weekend. I am usually a big fan of snowy weather but when March hit and I was starting to mentally prepare for spring and summer, I was a little bit disappointed. In light of this, I wanted to share a story of summers past, when the nights were long and warm and the sun was beating down. When we took our little camper down south to explore beautiful Cornwall in its prime.
