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!

🇲🇦 Morocco🌅 On the road🚐 Van life

Bye, bye Europe – hello Morocco

Our plan for escaping the cold weather in Europe for this year was to discover Morocco. Living in Germany, this meant a bit of a drive through Belgium, France and Spain. We met some old friends along the way which meant the journey was a bit longer compared to driving straight through. We arrived in La Línea de la Concepción on Monday, 2 February, bought our tickets from “Carlos” (a tradition as we were told) and proceeded to our campsite which was next to Gibraltar. We took the opportunity and visited the rock for a couple of hours. At this point, we had no idea what was about to happen….

Vestersand – Silent night at the lake

Vestersand – a name you won’t find on any tourist map, which is exactly why it was perfect. A tiny place somewhere in Norway, a lake, our camper van, and absolutely nothing else. No other travellers, no noise, just the gentle lapping of the water on the shore. We spent the night here and simply spent the evening gazing out at the water.

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.
