Summer is coming and the people of UK do love their beaches. You may have visited some of the most known seaside resorts (Brighton, we're talking about you) but we'll bet that you haven't been to some of these.
And if you haven't heard of these, there's a good chance that you might end up having…
Have you ever flown in a hot-air balloon? If not, you may want to move that further up in your travel "to-do" list.
Why? Because when you choose the right location and the right time of year, it is an other-worldly experience. When we took ours, over the hills of Tuscany, it was nothing like we…
We don't know about you, but every so often - measured in decades - we get the urge to "pick up sticks" as they say, and simply move to another place. It can be for a a few weeks or months - or in our case - years. There is something hard to describe in…
In this place in time, as we write, there are still any number of sad and appalling events happening to our fellow humans, all around the globe.
Those who can, fight back. But others are in no position to do anything but simply survive. And the need for domination starts at the top of the food…
This is not your father's caravan: it's the 21st century.
Contemporary caravans and travel trailers evoke scaled-down loft living on wheels – perfect for modern nomads seeking a much-needed change of scene.
Modern campers are spacious, well-appointed and - best of all - economical, especially in the European models. The days of the gas-guzzler are slipping into…

The pandemic has inspired many to jump into nature. Over the last 360 days, we have attempted new nature activities like kayaking and spelunking, sought out remote hideaways, and found inner peace on long hikes. Maybe we even hugged (or spoke to) a few trees, because we were just so elated to be out of…
This is for all 24x7 party people. 2022 is the year to look forward to, and Spain is the place - the Monegros Desert, Aragon, Spain, to be specific. Starting 30 July, 2022, the Monegros Desert Festival commences. Of course there will be drinks, and music and dancing and, perhaps, nudity. But the star of the…
Europe is many things, but one thing that is consistent across almost all of the European countries is the general approach to tolerance. Good, mature behaviour is recognised, and rewarded with few limitations or rules. The Europeans intrinsically get this.
And one area where this all blends together for Europeans is camping. This article talks about…
The world is opening up again from the Covid 19 pandemic. We are slowly tip-toeing out into the light, but still with our minds on safety. One great option is to rent a camper and travel where you want to go. It will just be you, your family and maybe some friends, in your own…
Europeans love to camp. There are literally thousands of them dotted around the continent. Not only are they plentiful, they are usually in beautiful, if not stunning, locations and are a very cost effective way to holiday. You can enjoy all of the traditional ways of camping, including tents and resorts, but hiring a fuel-efficient…
We are writing this post when - it appears - the the Covid-19 pandemic is starting to abate, and that many of us can, once more, open our doors, step outside and begin to enjoy life again. And what can be more life-affirming than getting out into nature, and breathing in the air? That is…
Some choose to follow their own path. When you're a retired businessman, what do you do to keep busy? Fish? Paint? Travel? Build a house consisting of six dome-shaped modules on stilts in Florida, and then never move in? The Cape Romano Dome House - now abandoned - is a house consisting of six dome-shaped…

Traveling by car and staying in hotels and bed & breakfasts is a great way to go, but when you really want to get to know a place, renting a motorhome in Europe is tough to beat. These days, lots of travelers are foregoing staying in hotels for vacationing by motorhome, and there are plenty…
Photographer updates postcards of 1960s resorts into their abandoned ruins Won't you tell me - where have all the good times gone? I found the old matchbook lying on a desk, writes Pablo Maurer. It was buried under some papers, beside a thick, water-logged book frozen solid in the January chill. I ran my fingers…

Campervans all booked up, too expensive or too unwieldy? Then why not try this summer’s DIY roadtrip alternative: campercars.
Who needs to drive around in a pricey, thirsty converted van when it’s quite possible to sleep in your normal car using the latest accessories and digital apps?
It’s a chance for many of us to…
The seven “Leave No Trace” (LNT) principles were formed by the Leave No Trace organization as a set of guidelines meant to educate campers and protect the environment. One of the tenets of outdoor recreation—camping, specifically—is the idea of enjoying the natural world while minimizing impact as much as possible. For future generations to be able to…
There’s nothing quite like the freedom that comes with taking to the open road for an epic adventure. But for RV and campervan enthusiasts, one of the trickier aspects of a trip can be finding a spot to settle down for the night. With that in mind, US-based company Harvest Hosts has assembled a bespoke…
