Since 2005, Emi and I have been actively travelling around Europe by car. That is, except for holidays outside this continent, where we went by plane and rented a car. We’ve gone through roadtrips in hotels, guesthouses or camping in European campsites. We swapped the tent for a Maggiolina roof top tent, which was the furthest we’ve been in Northern Ireland. At that time there was hardly any information on the Internet about motorhomes, vans or camping.

Motorhomes and campervans had attracted us from the start. So in 2015 we bought our first Knaus semi-integrated motorhome. We traveled to remote countries all year long, we even one winter season living in the motorhome and skiing in the Alps. After 4 years we exchanged it for a smaller Westfalia Club Joker campervan on T5.1 and we still travel with that to this day.

We prefer to travel to less touristy places. We make more use of motorhome parkings or nice beaches instead of campsites. That’s why in this manual I’m going to be more concerned in part with off-site travel.

We live part of the year in the van and part in our apartment in Slovakia. We sleep about 140 nights a year in the van, which is almost half-time.

We are very happy to share our experience and information with you.

If you happen to see us somewhere, feel free to honk or flash. We’d love to meet you, either at a travel event, in the mountains or at a surf spot by the sea.
