Investing in quality items for vanlife? It is totally worth it. Wish, Aliexpress, Primark, Lidl, private labels, knock-offs, dirt cheap offers, free items – pay only shipping costs. Each and every one of them are companies, offers or promotions that we participated in or where we bought something for a bargain price. Many, many times. I will not say that these purchases did not bring happiness, because they did. Only the happiness was generally short-lived, as cheap items generally don’t last that long, in comparison to quality items. Not that a television of € 5,000 cannot be crap, that is po ..read more

Ever heard of Triglav National Park? Neither did we. The best thing about Slovenia is that it completely overtook us. It was August in 2018 and we were on our way back from our summer holiday in Croatia with our little blue Volkswagen Polo. After we had a wonderful time on Croatia’s pebble beaches, it was time for a little more action. We decided to finish the trip home in roadtrip style and drive back to the Netherlands through Slovenia, Italy, Slovenia (again), Hungary, Austria and Germany. Because yes, if you are out there, why wouldn’t you. Right? “We decided to finish the trip home in ro ..read more

We think living in a camper is fantastic, obviously. From the moment our dream was born, Mariska has started making lists. If this is the first blog you read: Mariska loves lists. Lists for buying a camper, lists for groceries, lists for things for the dog. As soon as a list can be made for something, Mariska enthusiastically makes a list for it. It is no coincidence that our best decisions in life are fully supported by Mariska’s lists. And the mother of all the lists you can imagine? Exactly: the list with EVERYTHING you need for living in a camper. This is what the end result of a list look ..read more

Becoming a Digital Nomad. A year ago we had no idea what exactly a Digital Nomad was. It was a revelation to us. I had taken quite a few weeks of vacation after a particularly stressful period on my office job. When the holiday was over, it suddenly felt different. I couldn’t get the motivation to do the work I had been doing for a few years. In fact, I no longer had the motivation to work for my career, something I had been doing (with great success) for years. That was quite a shock. Because what would be next? What happens once you decide – regardless of the cause – that your current life i ..read more

When you want to travel with a camper, one thing is extremely important. Exactly, having a camper. Since we did not have a camper yet, but had the dream to conquer Europe with our camper at some point, we were left with a difference between reality and what we wanted to do in the future. Things to do? Right: Buying a camper. Buying a camper For someone with choice stress (Mariska, not me), buying a camper is a cringe-worthy experience. It is clear that the answer to the question “What kind of camper do you want to buy?” is not “A white one”. There are simply hundreds if not thousands of differ ..read more
