Build my own campervan and will be travelling Europe full time from beginning of 2023. I hike across Europa with my german sheperd Kaya. Lets make it clear that I am showing the last part of natural Europa. Lets keep that in good shape if possible.
No trash, no off trail, my dog doesnt chase wildlife or I would have put her on a leash. I see lots of damage from people not being carefull.
Before this I lived in house that I owned, did a lot of travelling with backpack (staying in hostels) in Europa but also Canada, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Kenya etc. I also did Couchsurfing, but then with covid and having a dog those options are not realy working out. Converting a van would allow me to keep travelling. So bought a 2005 Renault Master and converted it to a self substaining campervan. Some years later I made the decision to sell the house and live and travel in my campervan.
Check out my video's to see how it's going.

ep190 Grotto de Maxange, wonderfull cave in Dordogne France
This is a very nice cave in France between Bergerac and Sarlat Dordogne. It was a rainy day and going in a cave its dry. It costs 11 euro but worth it ... Little less then the menu de jours

ep187 Laval France Museum, castle & citywalls
Переглядів 914 годин тому
This is a bigger city. It has citywalls and on the day I was there the museum (inside the castle) was free. happy times :) also had menu de jour in Laval and used their toilet. I just prefer them over my bucket in the campervan lol
ep186 Fougeres Beautifull French castle town
Переглядів 1519 годин тому
Maybe one of the most beautifull castle towns. There is a wonderfull panorama view on the castle from the church. Its also very scenic to walk the old town, around the castle and in the medieval part of town I didnt film much there... sorry
ep185 Vire Town in Normandy with the castle(ruin) of Henry (Son of William the conquerer)
Переглядів 17День тому
Like all my travels this random town was on my way south. And having visited Caen (with the castle of W illiam the conquerer) now I saw his sons castle town of Vire. Found the town very comfortable for campers.

ep181 Horsovsky Tyn Beautifull Czeck town with castle & park
Переглядів 2714 днів тому
I think Czechia is a overlooked area of Europa. There are so many beautifull towns in this country. Lots of small and bigger lakes, hills and forest. And many historic towns with a busy centre with pastel coloured houses. Rich history, almost every town has a castle :)
ep179 Pisek Czechia
Переглядів 4021 день тому
This town in Czechia was so nice. From my parking next to the river I could see the old town and castle on the other side. The old bridge stood for a thousend years but was damaged in a 2012 flood. You can see newer stones that are lighter in the bridge. Kebab was some of the best I had :) very big one here, they dont make small kebabs in Czechia :)
ep178 Czech woods hiking in the woods between Trebon & Pisek
Переглядів 1221 день тому
Czechia is mostly low hills and only few mountains (near Poland I think) so hiking here is not as hard as in the Austria mountains. Its quite beautifull For some woods are all the same but if you look more closely you find different trees and maybe see wildlife.
ep176 Burg Gallenstein, A hike to a castle ruin
Переглядів 50Місяць тому
This is the last video in Austria before I drove to Czechia. I could see the castle from the road and though that it was worth seeing. It was a very nice castle ruin but the hike was the best. The missing brigdes made it a hike unlike others and my dog was so happy. #travel #budgettravel #travel with dog #hiking #walking #europa #vanlife #austria #castle #mountains #germanshepherd

Absolutely gorgeous episode, this looks and feels so enchanting!
Thank you, glad you liked the video. Czechia is very nice for walking :)
Brilliant work my friend, these shots are so nicely framed!
Thanx! When I see something I can see how that would be a nice video. Video is only a small part of what it looks like in real life
Mooie regio. Dank voor het delen en veel plezier met je reis verder.
Hallo, dat was snel. Eigenlijk zijn alle plekken waar ik ben geweest mooi. Kwam vandaag aan bij de kust :) lekker warm Jullie ook goeie reis
@@swaggertravels ja wij zijn ook bij de kust aangekomen, heerlijk die temperaturen hier!!!
Schitterende waterval. Je hond geniet er ook lekker van.
Mooi gebouwd!
Ciao,vorremmo venire a vivere a Monteleone ci aiutate a trovare casetta in affitto? Grazie a tutti ❤
My channel is small, try a immobilare or go there ask in cafe
Бывал там, действительно впечатляет. 👍
I like ths area to. Came here several times, every time trying to find new good routes to walk/see
@@swaggertravels Тоже хочу туда еще раз съездить, пока такая чудесная солнечная погода.
❤ Thank you! Loved this! We are in Pogerola now and have spent two days exploring. Instead of taking the shuttle to Amalfi again. We had 12 days, 3 left. Spent two here and will probably e back again on our last day and have dinner at Osteria again. Had dinner today at Gerry’s Pub. He and his wife were such a welcoming friendly couple. Best food there so far in all of Italy. Tried to hike to that ancient look out tower you pictured on the beginning of your video, but seemed to have hiked up a different hill. Found a large cross at the top though, I think you hiked the same place. Such a beautiful woodland trail you found. We didn’t find that either. lol we’re headed back before we leave Monday. Wish us luck! Thanks for sharing your beautiful video. Hope your knee feels better 😊
Thank you Pogerola is wonderful. You couldnt find the old tower I show in the first seconds of this video? That place is like 3 minutes down from the end of the road with the park. I sat at capella di Sant Anna looking at that torre di Pogerola. I think I rememer Gerry :) he almost retires haha had some cappucino there and burger that his wife prepares. Wonderfull views of Amalfi valley And still going strong :) It was my ribs I bruised falling on a stone at Pogerola. Spend a week there recovering, could be worse ;)
Awesome! We have one more day so we will return and keep going past the park to find that tower! Bonjourno!😊
4:55 Seule l’église à peine entrevue mérite le déplacement... Les protections et enrochements contre l’élévation de la mer ne sont pas du plus bel effet...
plus 5:33 you see the church ;) the whole harbour area is worth the visit I show the walking route, and found it a hike worth doing for the scenery
really cool video
at the 2:41 mark of video the house that my father grew up in can be seen. I was just there with my family for San Nicola.
Ahh right at the Piazza :) I guess you know the people I show in this video.
@ our last name is Mangiardi
Thank you I enjoyed this. 🥰
Always nice to read that :)
Lo estoi miranto desde Uruguay Montevideo saluti atutti quelli che sono di Cetraro
Mui linto Cetraro lo estoi miranto desde Uruguay mi esposo es di Cetraro
Ah, I thought how random but then it makes sence :) Dont think it changed much but ask him
Fuori stagione ancora più affascinante.
Did you like Cetraro? Seems a bit desolate and deserted? Was there any life in the upper historical centre?
Its low season, I like it calm without tourist crowds. But there was a cafe open where I had a cappucio. There were people there. Yes, I liked Cetraro (upper & the part at the sea)
@@swaggertravels thank you for your reply
Great video! Can you share us your roadplan to the mountain? Where were your start point?
Hmmm I posted where I start in the video (rogars farm at Poldolseva) Walked to the cave where 30.000y/old bear bones were found and the to the top. Olseva is the name of the mountain and shown on the trail You can also start in Austria at St Margarethen (Ep39)
@@swaggertravels sorry, i think i missed it! Thank you so much! In the nexth month i will go to Poldolseva for hiking and this is my first time! :)
Bel video. Complimenti. Sono contento abbiate apprezzato il mio bel paese d'origine.... Saluti
Gratzi :) I loved this trip to Italy, spend a whole winter in South Italy and every town worth seeing
It was very beautiful, that lake and that forest felt good. Good luck❤ +1 sub
Thank you, walking into that valley with the refugio and all the mountains around me felt magical.
Un saluto ai nostri fratelli della Magna Grecia❤
It was called magna Grecia a long time ago. But (Crotone) being the place where Pythagoras set up his school makes it special. But these days its more about the nice beach for most ;)
Hi! The details you capture in your videos really leave me with a feeling of what it is like to be in a Calabrian town and what I miss when I am not there. This is one of my favorites so far. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us!
Thank you! The idea is that I show the places I visit and then you can decide if you like to go there. Without me constantly saying how wonderfull, great, beautifull etc it is. Its clear isnt it?! But Calabria is amazing! :) I loved to visit all places.
We also love Tropea. It's a gem! We have a few episodes about it. Great video!
I agree with your lifestyle :) walking dog, spritz, and from Paestum to Tropea I found very beautifull.
What a lovely video! Thanks a lot! Actually, we've never been to Cetraro. I can't explain why it is, considering that we have the whole channel about our life in that area... Is it possible to reach the upper part by foot? How difficult is the walk around the town?
Dont worry, I have seen more then most Italians ;) haha the joy of a camper and no time limit.
Cetraro upper town is very easy to reach, there is a road that is blocked by landslide (I show this in my video) that is very nice to walk up. I always carry a phone with GPS just in case, with all the small alleys and such it is easy to loose track of where you are, but then, this is also the joy of exploring a new town. It is also possible to drive up and park the car there.
@@swaggertravels Thanks! I love to walk everywhere and explore. So Cetraro is now on my list. :)
Wer in moai filmke! Leuk dy details fan’ blommen mar ek fan’e stientsjes.
Hoi Jacob, Jim heit en ik hawwe dit filmke krekt tegearre besjoen yn’e bus. Wy binne yn Lutterzand en it waait hjir in stoarm. Mar ek dit filmke wie wer prachtich, wy hawwe der fan genoaten. Do hast sawol each foar it grutte gehiel as it lytse detail. Foaral dat doke wie moai, mar de plaatsjes fan Kaya ek. Meist om ús de tekst der wol wat langer op stean litte want wy kinne it sa hurd net lêze. Groetnis!
Happy New Year son! Almost a year traveling!
Het is alweer februari :) Hoop op nog wat van zulke jaren
La Via Francigena parte da Canterbury e arriva a Roma.
Most pelgrims, hikers will stop at Rome (st Paul) but you can walk on to Puglia. "More than 3000 kilometers, from Canterbury to Rome and Santa Maria di Leuca, to walk step by step on mountain paths, mule tracks, rural and secondary roads, cypress-lined dirt roads or among majestic pines." www.viefrancigene.org/en/the-path/
nooo, not the parking ticket, haha
I called the local police a few times about the ticket but decided to pay the 30euro. So far its my only parking ticket, so it annoyed me haha
La vera Roma ❤
Nice memory of my trip to Italy last August.
I will remember the dangerous walk outside the city walls and my parking ticket ;) and having cappuchino on the campo square, that was good. The fortezza and Roman gate are also impressive. Good gelato to
Moai dien Jacob! Kinst ek dúdlik sjen hoe’t Kaya genietet. Wat bisto al op in protte plakken west. Op nei nije avontûren!
Binne, net jimme
Dêr jimme jim heit en ik ek west, Via Appia, mar dan by Rome en op’e fyts!
Do stuiters der wol ast op de alde stjinnen fietst
Meravigliosa ❤
Grazi mille :) this video is allready my most popular and I think it is one of my best.
Totally inappropriate music.
ok, you always have the option to mute it. Maybe you like my episode about Gimignano (that video is much better), also a medieval town inTuscany. The music I re-used.
I'll tell you I'm sienese and I don't find the music inappropriate at all. Also, it's 100 times better than the napolitan songs foreigners usually put in their videos about italy, which is basically one of the best ways to piss off locals 😉
@@Andrea-lj4jg thank you, i realy like you telling me this. I did capture Calabrien music but will put it under a appropriate video ;)
🤘 'Promo sm'
You seem to realy appticiate the hard work that goes into designing and making a costume and how hard it must be to wear it in the not ideal conditions (rain, sun, cold)
Belle riprese complimenti
Thanx! Its allot of walking to get this footage ;) but every step is good for health haha And the result is also these videos
Ha Jakob, wy sitte hjir by de krystljochtsjes, dat is ús keuze😊! Jim heit en ik ha krekt dit filmke tegearre besjoen. Ik hie it fannacht al besjoen, wat prachtich, dat âlde stik fan wierskynlik in Romeinsk gebou! Hooplik hasto drûger waar as wy want wy driuwe hast fuort. Goeie Krystdagen tawinske!
Ik dacht: laat ik ook de andere kant in Italie zien en nog vind je het prachtig ;) de tegenstelling Noord zuid is wel groot. Lodi (Tussen Milaan en Parma) is nog noord Italie maar hier zie je dus ook al veel problemen zoals zwerfhonden, zwerfvuil, armoede, werkloosheid, criminaliteit, verlaten gebouwen en auto's. Deze problemen zijn is zuid Italie nog groter. Maar er is zeker ook veel moois te zien in Zuid Italie :) Plekken zoals Amalfi, Peastum & Maratea, echt prachtig!
Dyn filmkes wurde steeds better en moaier! Prachtige plastsjes ek fan ferskillende bisten en foaral fan Kaya.
Bedankt, ik hald de camera wot better fest. Minder beweging yn de filmkes
Dêr soe Drachten jaloersk op wêze: in trein dwers troch it sintrum!
Echt veilig lijkt het niet.. Bijzonder is het zeker, het is UNESCO erfgoed
Необычные дома, сказочный город. Интересно!❤
You can finds lots of cities and towns in Germany with houses like this Quedlinberg, Herrrenberg. Also in France (Elsace region) that used to be German (Strassbourg, Colmar etc) But Dinkelsbuhl is on the famous Romantische strasse
It starts in South Tyrol. A difference. 😉
I like castles :) thats why
Hiel herkenbaar! Moai om bekende plakjes wer te sjen.
Yndied silent hiking! Kaya rint moai rêstivh mei dy mei mar ús Famke soe alles byelkoar blaffe fanwege dy kowebellen want dêr steurt sy har ôggryslik oan.
I'm sorry don't even know why I put the ice cream
Dont worry, hope you enjoy my video's
I would love to live on this farm. Beautiful place! And doggo is enjoying it too ;)
Great views there and hiking was great. Not even that much altitude gain so easier then most hikes ;) I would recommand that place and the panorama road, it was some of the best I've seen so far. Its been 10 months now, see you do this for 15 years?! I hope to keep this lifestyle for years to come. Yes with my doggo, she is very happy. Hiking 5 hours a day is good for a german shepard and my health
excelentes imágenes
Thank you, I dont know what I will see, all this is random but seeing wildlife is what I like most. Also check out the Sentinel video (ep11) for more voltures :)
Do moast al even nei de werjeftesifers sjen fan foarige filmkes want mear as 40 as 60 kear fyn ik in knappe prestaasje.
Die her-upload van Spanje gaat als een malle :) boven de 100 al kortere filmpjes zijn misschien toch beter. Maar voor jullie is zo'n langer filmpje denk ik beter in laten zien wat ik beleef
Hey Jacob, Jim heit en ik ha dit filmke tegearre besjoen. Prachtige plaatsjes wer en moai musykje der ûnder. Wat siet Kaya moai yn’e wetterbak en op’e skommel. Groetnis fan ús!
Hallo, bedankt! Kaya is wel gelukkig zo :)
Is that 🎉
Thanks for the subscribe, is it icecream? what you mean? :)
