So why Sweden? Why not go to ‘vanlife-heaven’ Portugal, or go to Switzerland to take in views of the Matterhorn, or Croatia…? Well, for a while after deciding to leave I still didn’t know where (in Europe) to go. I had some places in mind. I’d for sure would love to see southern Norway in…

Stopping time on a 3-day camping trip
So, where were we…? Oh yeah, so shortly after our first camping trip we made a big jump to the north and drove to the ‘Nötön-Åråsviken‘ Nature reserve. The reserve is located in a bay of the Vänern lake, Sweden’s largest lake. We drove along the shore right around sunset. So of course we had…
Let’s leave those luxurious vans behind
Okay, so It’s been a loooong time since I updated you on my activities, so here’s what I’ve been up to! When Lisanne and I left our first camping spot in Sverige we drove up north towards our destination (the farm) and landed on a spot along a lake. We decided to leave our vans…
Oh those mighty sunsets!
One thing I very much appreciate is a beautiful sunset. They give a sense of peace and stillness as the environment around it quiets down. This of course doesn’t happen in our busy city-lives. Most sunsets that have happened in my life have gone unnoticed. I’ve probably only seen a couple hundred, out of the…
Radio Silence…

We’re in Sverige!
We’re in Sweden! After the last goodbyes the finishing touches on preparations I drove off last Sunday (one day later than planned). What happened between then and now, that’s what you’ll read below 🙂 We? Yes, I didn’t leave the Netherlands behind all on my own. Lisanne, a girl who just built out her own…
Almost there…
May 21st. That will be the date my adventure really begins, although you could argue that it has already been going on for a looong time. Anyways, that is the day that I will head out to SWEDEN! Where I’ll hang around for a couple weeks and then move on to Norway. I only have…
Quitting your job, the hardest easy thing to do.
Quitting your job is easy. No more than 2 lines in an email (or letter if you’re that old-fashioned) and it’s done. You’re free. Roughly 2.5 years ago –when I was about to finish university– I made a pact with myself. I’d go work full-time for 1 or 2 years and in the meanwhile I…
