Hallo Lauren, ich freue mich mit euch über euren Campingbus, besonders wenn man vieles selbst gemacht hat. Das Umbauen und später die Reisen waren für mich damals mit die schönste Zeit. der Spruch deiner Schwiegermutter, dass man nie wieder so jung zusammen kommt, ist toll, den benutze ich auch öfters, besonders wenn man schon ein gewisses Alter erreicht hat. Die Insel Usedom ist eine tolle Insel, wir hatten dort in Heringsdorf in den 90er Jahre Verwandte wohnen und haben sie dort einmal besucht. Das ist die richtige Einstellung von dir, sich nur auf das Positive zu konzentrieren, das Negative drückt einen nur herunter. Ich wünsche euch alles Gute und viel Glück mit eurem Campingwagen.
Freut mich das es für euch geklappt hat. An der Ostsee Plätze zu bekommen ist in der Saison nicht einfach. Zum Glück wohne ich an der Ostsee. ;) Mein Bruder und seine Frau waren gerade mit dem Wohnwagen im Schwarzwald. Ich wünsche dir eine wundervolle Zeit bei uns im Norden.
Ah, ich war zwei Tage zuvor im Schwarzwald! In Bad Säckingen habe ich gearbeitet, dann den Umbau fertig genug gemacht und hoch zu Euch. Leider schon längst zurück, Carlos…!
⛺🔥🌠Lauren you're finally camping - Yayee!!! 🥳 The van looks great! It doesn't matter if it's finished yet, the important part is that you get out and go explore! And, bring the good stuff with you, of course! 😉🍷🍾 It's true even in the US; camping has really picked up and campgrounds are always busy! We never used to make plans when camping, but now you definitely need to plan ahead and book early. 🏞 Enjoy your new adventures and keep up that positive attitude of yours! 🌞 Have fun! Can't wait to see where you go next!🤗
Thank you sweetie! It’s so much fun, isn’t it?! We‘re finishing up all those luxuries, now- running water, all the wall cladding lol! And I hope I’ll have a lovely trip to share soon!
The Laurenner definitely needs a good paint job, like black with blue flames, or a photo realistic Lauren portrait. Yes, it would cause a lot of traffic jams and accidents 💋❤️🥰, but it would worth it anyway
Hi Lauren, I've had a campervan since 2018 and travelled extensively through out Germany and Europe. If you're travelling outside of the main vacation times, there is rarely a problem finding a place to spend the night. I would suggest that you add Park4night to your apps and think about "Landvergnügen" as an option in Germany.
I´d love to avoid the main vacation times, I´m not a crowd person for sure! Yes, I´ve got the Landvergnügen membership - I´m glad to hear you think it´s good. Thanks! And I love the Park4Night app. I couldn´t believe how many places there are to stay!
Great video and, nice you finally did it there will always be a time for camping, it is important that you take a little time in advance and see what you like. What I would recommend to you is a tour starting in the Spreewald in Brandenburg and then along the rivers Spree, Havel, through Oranienburg, to Prenzlau, Neustrelitz, past the Schorfheide, through the Uckermark to the Mecklenburg Lake District, then on to Stralsund and Rügen to Binz, Göhren and then to Mönchgut. A great tour, with a lot of nature and very beautiful small towns, real gems that nobody expects there and the region is sparsely populated, does not mean that many people.
I would love to visit these islands and the north coast, they feature in the famous book from many years ago ,The riddle of sands by Erskine Childers. One day perhaps ! Thankyou again Lauren !
Lovely footage (as always)! Sweet, fluffly doggies! And words of wisdom! I think camping will suit you just fine. You do have an eye for put of the way places and do find beauty in the smallest things after all! The blue tones of the sky and sea kissing the white sand... 😍
The doggies were just for you, Sisu! I surprised myself as I never liked the look of camp sites. But with your own little house, it’s so much fun. And oh my that beach!!
Hi Lauren.....Happy Birthday and thank you for sharing your first German camping adventure. By the way your van looks great and I imagine it was both fun and frustrating getting it ready for camping. Cheers, Peter!
I am very happy to hear something new from you, dear Lauren. Last summer we were also on vacation at Usedom. The beach there is very nice and you can go swimming in the Baltic Sea.🙂💜
Well first of all Happy Birthday Lauren!🎉 Also thank you for sharing your travels in your campavan! There is no end to your talents! What an achievement!!What a wonderful area also of northern Germany! I have only been to Syllt in northern Germany. I was with a group of German school children when I had my year abroad as a language assistant. It was challenging but so much fun.❤
Sylt is gorgeous, I must go with my camera! Last time was before UA-cam, Lynette. I bet that was an experience! Thank you, so much for your kind words!
Ich LIEBE diesen Kanal! ❤❤ (Und nutze ihn nebenbei, um endlich britisches Englisch besser zu verstehen! 👍🏽 Du hast so eine perfekte klare Aussprache 😉)
@@sisuguillam5109 ja, und jetzt mit der Ruhe! Ich genieße den Ausbau so sehr! Freue mich auf fließendes Wasser für das Abschminken. Es dauert momentan soooo lange 😆 🤡

Camping is definitely far from over, it has just begun. And your mother in law is totally right, so keep that positive spirit. The only thing which shocked me was the transition from you driving to walking with your dogs at 2:50 . For s aplit second due to the brightness I thought your dogs are walking in the snow till I realized it's just a sandy path, haha.
Lol! The sand was so lovely, Opa Andre! It’s strange, it is my mother in law who might not make it right now. She got better but it’s still not clear which way it will go. Good for her for having lived a full life. And I agree about the camping! I’ve certainly fallen in love with it!
@@LaureninGermany Yes, thats tragic. I can relate to that with my dad in mind. Would write you a PN on insta, but IIRC you disabled personal notes over there for other good reasons.
Ah, don´t worry, Opa Andre. She is so very well taken care of and loved, surrounded by family. I was never very close to her, so although I am sad, of course, it´s not like when my own mother died last year. It´s all very complicated with me!
About 30 years ago, my then boyfriend and I were at Fehmarn with a tent. First two days were wonderfull. The beach had fine, white sand, we put our tent under a tree to have some shadow and we were able to cook a decent meal on a grill. The third day, just about noon it began to rain... It took a few hours and everything was wet or at least moist.... So we throw everything in the trunk and left. I am done with camping
Hach ja, Usedom. Koserow, Zempin, Karlshagen (2x) waren unsere Ferienorte, natürlich im Sommer. Da ist es traumhaft schön, wenn es warm ist, aber viiiieeelll mehr Menschen natürlich. Falls du auch Rügen mit deinem Camper besuchen willst, rechts unten die Ecke (Halbinsel Mönchgut) ist der Geheimtipp. 😉 Sellin, Göhren, Groß und Kleinzicker, Thiessow .... Ich muss aufhören, sonst will ich wieder sofort da hin. 🙂
Gratulation zur Fertigstellung eures Campers ich wünsche viele schöne Reisen und uns deine schönen Deutschland Reiseberichte. Du hast ein gutes Auge für Schönheit in Architektur und Landschaft. In den ersten Reisen findet ihr heraus was zu verbessern ist. Ich hatte eine unbeabsichtigte Probe bei -2Grad ohne Heizung aber im warmen Schlafsack, das ging erstaunlich gut in meinem VW Caddy. Nun folgt ein Mobiler Umbau, der dann in den Keller kann. Dazu verwende ich Euroboxen. Die verschiedenen Normboxen sind sehr praktisch. Usedom steht auch auf meiner Liste. Eine Reise wird mich die Weser herunter führen. Die Oberweser ist eine schöne Region. Bestimmt bist Du schon in Bad Pyrmond aufgetreten. An der Weser reihen sich kleine Fachwerkstädte aneinander. Hannoverschmünden, Polle, das mittelalterliche Kloster Corvey, Hameln bis hinunter zur Portawestphalia. Von Minden an wird die Lanschaft flacher. Also viel Spass mit und im neuen Camper. Hat euer Camper einen Spitznamen? Ach mein Caddy war poliert. Die geht gut mit dem Fön ab und Kleberreste mit einer Mischung aus Brennspiritus und Waschbenzin ab. Es gibt jetzt zugelassene Gasflaschen, die man an der Autogastankstelle auffüllen kann.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch Lauren zu Deiner ersten Reise im Wohnmobil. Es werden hoffentlich noch viele folgen. Lass Dich nicht verrückt machen weil es angeblich zu wenig Stellplätze gibt. Bei den Seglern gibt es die gleiche Mär es gäbe zu wenig Liegeplätze. Viel Glück und viel Erfolg
Lieben Dank, Peter! Es muss nicht immer perfekt/wie früher sein, um super zu sein - das verstehen manche nicht, oder? Heute mache ich weiter mit dem Ausbau, und träume von den nächsten Reisen...
I read the title while laying on my bed in our very old “Wohnwagen” 😂 thinking what the h… is Lauren talking about 🤔 Our caravan has been parked for the last 2 weeks in a camping place on the “Untersee” which is a part of the Lake of Constance. Around us are mostly shiny fancy motorhomes of varying sizes - and lots of Camper Vans, especially during this long 1st of May weekend, some obviously “handmade” from a normal van into a camper van. And some regular vans (and even a car) with tents on the roof, some extending down the side of the van or car. Unfortunately the weather down here has been rather bad, lots of rain, very little sunshine - but camping is not dead !!! And campers are not deterred by a bit of bad weather, but you should be able to find nice spots, especially outside the main season. Congrats on your Camper Van, you did a great job 👏 I wish you always a safe trip, and uncountable enjoyable camping weekends 🍀
Thank you!! Yes, I had to try to grab attention, but I always try to do it with a bit of humour! I am absolutely in love with camping and I know the rain can be a bit difficult in the day, but isn’t it the best at night, snuggled up in your camping vehicle of choice 😆?!
Oh most definitely 👍 I love the sound of the rain on the roof, even loved it on the tent I had as a teenager, I can sleep like a baby with that sound. Just during the day it should stop raining a bit, so we can go on outings.
@@christinehorsley exactly! At the moment it’s not so comfortable for relaxing, we need to finish the Sitzecke and add a table. So it’s essential to get out and about. We were supposed to be at the Mondsee right now, but there was a family emergency. We’ll go soon, I hope.
@@LaureninGermany “Eins nach dem Anderen”, one step at a time, right ? Family emergencies must be dealt with, and thereafter you can go back to the next project in your van. After all, you’re supposed to enjoy the entire experience, creating your traveling space, the camping out itself, and not be chased by a deadline.
Congratulations to the finished camper van and to your first trip with it! Sounds like it was a very beautiful experience. Ah, and as to the "good old days": they don't exist. We usually tend to forget lots of the details and the bad stuff that happened, which is why the old days seem so much better. Life has been life always, through thousands of years. So go for it, your Schwiegermutter is absolutely right! Thanks for another lovely video, Lauren! Cheers from the south west!
I back-packed as a student. Worked abroad then travelled with the rest of the time. But I didn´t buy a van... it was enough for youth hostels and the street outside Florence train station lol.... Hope you can travel soon!
Nice video. I have Danish friends spending all their summer holidays in Austria. Because autocampers are very expensive in Scandinavia, they drive their car from Denmark to Germany and then rent an autocamper. But why don't you buy an older camping trailer? Like a German "Hobby"? More space. With a tent in front of the camping trailer you really get some space. I bought a 5 meter long "Hobby" in Denmark a few years ago. It was old (20 yo) but in perfect shape. With the tent. It only cost me 10.000 DKr. (Approximately 1.300 Euros)
We need the mobility of a van, Hans. We use it to transport productions, as a dressing room. Pulling up with a caravan at the stage door wouldn‘t be as easy and flexible for parking. It‘s enough space, love it, even if I sometimes have a garden fountain and a celtic harp on my bed…
@@LaureninGermany True. I can see the advantages of an autocamper. My Danish friends once told me it is legal to stay in the back of an autocamper while driving, but it is prohibited in a camping trailer. Still i love my "Hobby". I have used it as a second home while working far away and for holidays. It's just great. It has a gas heater and a solar panel for electricity. In Norway we have the freedom to roam "allemannsretten" "All mens right" to park anywhere for the night. In Denmark we have to stay in a camping site and pay some money for the parking space, electricity and propane/natural gas. Anyway! Great vid.
In Germany you can´t be in the back whilst driving. The rules are endless. One of the very rare complaining videos of mine is about the German TÜV, as you saw...grrr! Germany is the same about wild camping as Denmark, but there are low-priced, if not very pretty, parking areas for overnight everywhere-ish. Thank youuuu.... takk...!
I think if you avoid August you will be fine. My main worry is the ever increasing site fees. I have a suitable van but I don't plan to convert it, just load in camping gear when I need it. At least where you are you have plenty of countries within a few hours drive.
It’s really amazing being able to just drive and reach so many places without a boat or plane! Yes, the beauty is you can make it what you want it to be.
After having travelled in camper van in late 1990s, it difficult to like todays experience. But still camping out in BColumbia, Germany or the nordics is must try even today. I had high hopes of van life in New Zealand but I felt it was too desolate .safety being a concern.
It's so curious that you, or _anyone,_ for that matter, should have a discouraging experience when it comes to where to make _camp._ I mean humanity is originally from the great _outdoors._ We're campers by _nature._

It’s really amazing being able to just drive and reach so many places without a boat or plane! Yes, the beauty is you can make it what you want it to be.
Those telling you it would be over just want the best places for themselves.
I can understand it... let´s hope they find them and leave me in peace, lol!
@@LaureninGermany Looking forward to "Vanlife with Lauren"
Me too, Peter!!
After having travelled in camper van in late 1990s, it difficult to like todays experience. But still camping out in BColumbia, Germany or the nordics is must try even today. I had high hopes of van life in New Zealand but I felt it was too desolate .safety being a concern.
Hi Peter 🙋♂️
❤👍
Dankeeee!
Bitte schönes Mädel!
Oh, das auch noch, danke!
Du bist ja auch eine bezaubernde Frau!
You need an ASMR channel
Thank you! That´s kind of what I´m trying to offer - a bit of calm.

You nail it your voice is very calming
@@ohnenamen2843 wonderful, thank you. It also makes me feel better, recording the voiceover 😊
It's so curious that you, or _anyone,_ for that matter, should have a discouraging experience when it comes to where to make _camp._ I mean humanity is originally from the great _outdoors._ We're campers by _nature._
I don’t quite understand- did you watch the video? I didn’t have a discouraging experience.
@@LaureninGermany Right. I'm sorry. I commented too soon.
@@lazyperfectionist1 ah ok!
