With the whole Benelux tunnel experience behind us there was need for the french countryside and time to breathe... On our way to our first stop we drove through fields on a road that didn’t look as if our campervan would fit but this was clearly not a one way street as we realised that even buses took this way :o Being goat farmers, Dreux, France We got this book that gives us tips on where to stop with your campervan at local producers/wine yards /farmers. So our first stop

As soon as we drove up in our drive way after our long trip this fall we started making new plans for the next trip. It was harder than I thought coming back, getting in to all of the every day routines and getting all of the colds and flus in the world. This spring has been loooong and we are so stoked to take of and head out again in the van. The simpler life. Even if I have managed to get a hernia that will be joining us... We haven’t made much plans but heading for Biarri

... that is where you’ll find us ... Arrifana & The epic epicness Both of us had the best surf ever in Praia da Arrifana. It’s strange how when you come to a beach you think it’s always the same, but they change every day. Some beaches even disappear from one day to the next. And to us Arrifana had the perfect lines and I thought this must be the way the waves always come in here & it wasn’t that busy so we stayed for almost a week, but Word spread and the surfers and vans fi

Arriving in Sagres and the surf and campervan lifestyle surrounds us. Vanlife heaven. Everything feels adjusted to the life we are living right now. Add cliffs, turquoise water, beautiful beaches and Meeting up with all the people we have met along the way, all in the same place and the feeling of having made it home is there. The final destination for vanlifers. The sounds from a parking lot Talking to friend about the sounds we will miss. Surrounded by surfers there is a l

Time to try the van with a fourth companion. My mum joined us and we managed to make it even more interesting trying out food poisoning, the flu and all sorts of rashes that same week. However we pulled through, and also celebrated our girl turning 5. Cake, presents and the opportunity to be boss for the day - great success! Lourinha Took a day with friends at Dinosaur Park. Apparently Lourinha has a Big amount of dino findings and a lot of dinosaurs named after the town. Lik

That’s the rule, we were told at WSL, and on it went for the three days that we stayed at Supertubos... Peniche & Baleal Surfing the beaches here is great, it seems the swell is always coming in from somewhere. However you have to get past the seaweed and the surf schools. Parking for night has not bored us. There was the In front of the main beaches in Baleal parking, which happens to be right outside a club. The kind of club that doesn’t shut until 5... And the cliff parkin

Scents of spring in the spanish air. Setting up my office outside the van cause we have fast wi-fi for once, feeling all Cinderella with birds churping around me. Zarautz Parked our campervan on a mountain, breathtaking view of the ocean, and breathtaking 450 stairs down to the beach. San Vicente de Barquera Great beach, with surf for both of us. Best surf session for me this far. Colder water though, bringing us our first cold. Not loving the town centre, nothing much to off

Had a little vanlife pause. Flew back to Stockholm to do a job for Axfoundation. The life of a freelance photographer. Strange feeling to be in Stockholm and not heading home to my house. Dune Du Pilat - the biggest sand dune in Europe I knew before we left we would have sand everywhere. Turned out to be a true story, the sand is everywhere. Bags, everywhere in the van, the bed, the clothes, the pockets and the bed. To be honest, there is sand coming out of my ears. So we dec

Really getting the hang of vanlife now, parking outside a castle and feeling ever so great. Not always having electricity and wifi and thinking it’s alright. I actually started reading a book the other day. Chambord This castle is stunning, we passed it on a trip before and this time we thought, why not stay this time. Apparantly the guy who built it, around 14 th century was going to use it as a hunting castle and while it took 30 years to build he only ever stayed in it 40
