To see the highest mountains in Gran Canaria we took the winding road to the top of the island where some peaks almost reach to 2000 m. In addition to the highest mountain Pico de Las Nieves, the island’s green center contains the historic landmarks of Roque Nublo, Cruz de Tejeda and Roque Bentayga – and old villages, among them ...

Lofoten, if any, is a spectacular nature destination. It’s super scenic wherever you go, and the sea, sun and weather changes make it all look just magic.  Yet, for the best views of the islands you should get somewhere higher. But how?

In 2020 it changed. No city breaks in Europe, no meetings on distant continents. Domestic travel is what matters, and staying safe. That’s where the idea of motorhome travel suddenly came up. One morning we woke up with the idea. This summer we will buy a campervan and start exploring our home country in it. We want our vehicle to ...
