Our van Wilma parked at a Danish beach during sunrise

Welcome to our VanVentures

Kathrin and Stefan during their trip to Banff, Canada

We are Kathrin & Stefan

Ever since we met we discovered that we share the same passion for traveling and discovering nature and foreign cultures. We love to hike and anything that ups the adrenalin levels. After one of our first multi day hikes (West Highland Way) we started toying with the idea to get our own van. We decided to stress test that type of traveling with a 4 week camping trip through Canada.

It blew our minds and we discovered that we love this mode of traveling. The freedom is just incredible and that is exactly what we are looking for.

So, in 2024 we finally got our van Wilma and are now getting ready for the great escape … err… adventure!

Northern Lights at Vik beach and Haukland beach

One of our last stops on the Lofoten was Vik beach and Haukland beach (they are right next to each other). Supposed to be one of Lofoten's most beautiful beaches it doesn't disappoint. Beautiful white sand in a bay surrounded by mountains and perfectly oriented to allow for wonderful sunsets.

🇳🇴 Norway🚐 Van life🌅 On the road

Fantastic beach views and sleepless nights

After visiting Reine and the tiny village of Å at the very end of the road, we continued our journey to Vikten – a small and peaceful place known for its glass workshop and its stunning beach. The light there was absolutely magical. Soft, golden, and constantly changing, it turned the whole landscape into a painting. A group of photographers had gathered to capture the scenery, and we completely understood why.

📖 Story🚰 Water

We're retrofitting insulation to our water pipes!

After discovering the weak points of our Pössl Summit Prime 640 in Norway - the water pipes that partially run directly along the metal exterior of the FIAT Ducato - we decided to fix this ourselves. With the help of a friend and my employer's support in the form of a workshop where we could do the work, we retrofitted insulation to all critical water pipes in 2 days.
