Returning to Jersey Pt 1 From our new home in Portugal we had been keeping an eye on travel restrictions, covid levels and ‘R numbers’. Watching and waiting for our opportunity to make a break and head back to Jersey for the first time since we left in September 2019, when the world was aContinue reading “Homeward Bound”

New Home, Tiny Home
Kitchen Renovation We’ve been living in our new home now for about a month and we are loving it! Some days we do miss the adventures and excitement of new experiences of travelling full time in the motorhome but right now, this is where we need to be. As I’m sure you know, the numberContinue reading “New Home, Tiny Home”
Is this the end of full time travelling?
We were definitely on a high after meeting friends in Amsterdam to celebrate our first 12 months of full time travel. Although it was difficult at times, we have absolutely loved travelling around Europe in our motorhome, Stevie. Visiting 20 countries in those 12 months was something we never thought we’d be able to do,Continue reading “Is this the end of full time travelling?”
Our home in the Sun
Portugal Pt 2 Travelling by ourselves, making our own decisions and only having to worry about what we want to do has been a hugely positive part of our travel adventures (it’s definitely brought us closer together as a couple) but there is nothing like spending time with friends, especially in times of stress. WeContinue reading “Our home in the Sun”

Valleys, Views and Vikings
Norway Pt 2 One of our favourite things about full time travel is meeting interesting people. During our time in Denmark and Norway we had met up with lots of fellow travellers, many of whom we follow on social media. It was August 2020, after the first lockdown and coronavirus had made meeting new peopleContinue reading “Valleys, Views and Vikings”
Magnificent Mountains and Motorhomes
Motorhome adventures in Norway Pt 1 We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Denmark, far more than we expected, but now it was time to head to Norway. We could have taken the ferry from northern Denmark over to southern Norway, without crossing through Sweden but we wanted to cross the Øresund Bridge. Callum had doneContinue reading “Magnificent Mountains and Motorhomes”
New Friends in New Countries
Motorhoming in Denmark post coronavirus, summer 2020 After our ‘release’ from lockdown in Spain & France and a couple of weeks pet sitting in Belgium, we were ready to head back out in Stevie (our motorhome) and explore this new ‘post covid world’. Scandinavia had been on our list before we even started travelling butContinue reading “New Friends in New Countries”
