After our forced break from van life for a good two months, we are finally back on the road. Wilma has a new transmission and there is nothing stopping us from travelling again 🚐💨 Our original Morocco–Portugal–Spain plan is now officially off the table and, with a fixed appointment back in Germany at the beginning of July, we decided to focus on France instead.
After Wilma had been picked up, we made our way to Málaga. There was a direct flight from there to the airport closest to home and, honestly, it also felt like a good opportunity to calm down after the past few stressful days. We booked ourselves into a simple but nice hotel conveniently located close to both the airport and public transport as well as the beach promenade.
This post was tough to write, because it brings back some vivid memories. But let’s not jump ahead in the story. Then again, it only took 45 minutes to go from yaaay to noooooooo! As you might recall from our last post, we were leaving the wonderful campsite where we had been tucked away under palm trees, enjoying a sunny day after a couple of rainy ones.
... from before van life
Glacial roads, endless pine forests, and the build that prepped us for winter.
Ferry hops, sea-side park ups, and the calm rhythm of the Danish west coast.
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!
