Spain Pt 2 After 22 days in Catalonia we finally said goodbye to our Spanish, Catalonian & Argentinian friends and started to move south.

We stoppedContinue reading “Spanish Motorhome Adventures”

Motorhome travelling in Spain Pt 2 After 4 months of our European travels, meeting up with our Argentinian travel friends again and our little side adventure to Andorra we were feeling pretty pleased with ourselves.

Our side adventure to country number 16, Andorra After an extended stay in Malta over Christmas 2019 & New Year 2020 we spent 4 days travelling to Spain consisting of 2 x 24-36hr ferries and a day driving up the west coast of Italy.

Exploring Austria, Slovenia & Croatia- October 2019 Since we’d known each other our lives in general had always been busy, crazy busy. I had always been juggling several jobs at a time: working for myself, running several businesses with my business partner AND working as a nanny for one or more families.

Lessons from our first month of full time Van Life When we started our travel adventure in September 2019 we had a vague plan.
