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”

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?”

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.

It was August 2020, after the first lockdown and coronavirus had made meeting new peopleContinue reading “Valleys, Views and Vikings”

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”

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”

What most people want to know is: how much has a year of full time travelling cost us? It’s your lucky day as we look back over the past 12 months and break down exactly how much we’ve spent. This doesn’t take into account the purchase of the motorhome, initial insurance, van equipment (including ourContinue reading “How much does full time travel cost?”
