      I am absolutely fascinated by Meneham Site in northern Brittany. The beach looks almost carrebean with white Sand and blue turquois waters and then there are rocks and boulders scattered around everywhere looking like animals and faces due to the winds and elements they have withered in for thousands of years...

    The fact we didn't even know about it beforehand, and just stumbled upon this gem, made it all the better.

    Thank you so much for your videos 🧚🏻‍♀️ I can't believe you've only just started. They are so well made. We, a swiss-dutch family of 5 (2 adults, 2 kids, and a dog), will start our camper journey in May. I especially like your travel recommendations and already saved some parking spots 🚐

    • @roesslibnbschwellbrunn
      @roesslibnbschwellbrunn 5 днів тому

      We will first travel towards my home country, the Netherlands, and then drive towards Scandinavia. In September we will drive south towards Sicily were we want to spend our first winter in the camper 🚐 We can't wait! ​@jessicakleczka

    I played with alcohol stoves in van. You take a large or small jar/bottle, roll a cotton piece with string as wick. This thing heats up a car or van very fast, odour less. Its a super nice hack

    • @jessicakleczka

      Interesting, never heard of them before! We got our heater to work again now - turns out it was a loose cable! - but with us travelling south we barely need it now anyway ☺️

    Hi Jessica and Risi great video and great places you found. I would love it there in my camper.
    From watching others Spain isn't very campervan friendly police will fine you especially if you have anything outside.
    See Shane and Annie Utube been stopped by the police.
    Sorry to hear you had long covid hope you are fully recovered.

    • @jessicakleczka
      @jessicakleczka  12 днів тому +1

      Thank you so much! Spain is actually one of the best countries for van life, legally you’re allowed to stay for 2-3 days depending on the area, as long as you don’t have stuff outside your van (chairs, tables, awnings etc) which we generally don’t! We spent last winter in Spain and had no issues whatsoever. In most places people didn’t even notice us, but we also tend to park up in very rural areas! ☺️

    Camping is better than hotel 😁

    Perfect evening 👍 You look like an Alpine girl
    I'll come visit often ✈️

    • @jessicakleczka
      @jessicakleczka  12 днів тому

      I completely agree! We can’t afford hotels anyway but even if we could, we would rather stay in our cosy van 😁 glad you enjoyed the video, van life in Korea sounds so cool! 🌿

    Absolutely love your channel 😍 would love to know what wood and stain you used for the back doors? 😁

    • @jessicakleczka
      @jessicakleczka  10 днів тому +1

      Thank you so much! ☺️ Only half of the wood on the back doors is stained and the rest is just oiled, we used Littlefaire’s walnut and light oak wood stain in the van as their products are non-toxic, and the wood itself is reclaimed cladding from a small business on Etsy! 🌿

    Hey you 2. I have been following along from your 1st video on and am so happy at the growth of your channel. Yoi create amazing Videos, I am sure, you will come so far. I am Jennifer from Germany, a vanlifer myself travelling alone on a microcamper. I also ducument it on UA-cam, so feel free to check it out. I do not do it in as high quality as you because it has to fit my Lifestyle Trave alone with health issues. So, I do everything just with my phone and on Bad days, I can rest on bed, editing on my phone and still feel productive and creative which is so helpful when you are chronically ill. You probably know well what I am talking about having suffered from Long Covid for 3 years. I absolutely love France, it is a vanlife paradise. I will start a long winter tour this Sunday, I definitely want to explore Portugal which I haven't seen before. Who knows, maybe I will meet you, somewhere. 😀 keep doing what you are doing. Much love to you
    Jennifer

      Thank you sooo much for your kind words Jennifer! I have huge respect for you for travelling by yourself - I’ll start going on some solo trips in the van later this year, it’s a scary thing to do at first! Gute Reise 🧡🚌✨

    • @jenniferk6632
      @jenniferk6632 10 днів тому

      I started with smaller trips to get used to it. I feel that the polarsteps App is helpful when travelling solo as a woman for family and friends can see live where exactly you are. Frauenpower 💪 go for it 🙋‍♀️

    • @jessicakleczka
      @jessicakleczka  9 днів тому +1

      Yes, we already use Polarsteps and I’ll use it together with my emergency GPS for peace of mind! Starting with short journeys is a great idea 🥰
