We Drove Our Van 1000 Kilometres in 1 Week With NO Plan | Loving Vanlife Europe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2023
- This week we start our biggest road trip yet in pretty chaotic fashion. With no route planned and no real idea of what we’re doing, we drive 1000km across Europe and end up in Luxembourg, a country we’d never planned on visiting.
Along the way we spend a few days rediscovering Esquelbeq, the very first place we ever visited in the van when we originally left the UK 2 years ago. Voted France’s favourite village 2023, we fall in love with it all over again.
On a whim, we decide to head into Belgium after that and discover one of the prettiest cities it has to offer, the gorgeous Dinant.
And as Luxembourg is just a few miles away and we’ve never been before we nip over the border to take a quick look at what’s going on there.
Join us as we get back into the routine of vanlife in Europe and loving just how easy it is compared to the UK.

Your beautiful Ady is the star of your show❤️
Can’t argue with that 😀❤️

It's through children and pets that we see time fly! I guarantee you that at this age now is when Ady will be properly storing her experiences; they may never be clear memories as such, but will definitely be a formative part of who she will become! And I love that your itinerary is a 'floater'... Continue safe my dears. Huggiies, YAM xx
This is so true! We really agree about the memories as well, there is definitely stuff getting stored up there. This is definitely the loosest travel plan we’ve ever had, we don’t know where we’re going to end up from one day to the next and it’s great fun! Hope you’re well ❤️
I can't believe how grown up the lodger is, crazy how fast time goes by. Hope you're enjoying yourselves.
We can’t either! We look at her every day and think the same. And it’s incredible just how quickly they develop and change at this age. Of course you know all about that 😀 Honestly it’s taken a little while to settle into it again and get used to the van but we’re loving it.
On the road again:enjoy it.
Have a safe and easy journey.
Thank you ☺️
We did Slovenia in 2007 and loved it - by far our most favourite of stops. Be aware though, certainly at that time, wild camping was frowned on - lots of signs. We ignored it one night at Lake Bled and was woken up the next morning at 7am by two policeman issuing us with a fine and suggesting we use the local campsite (they were friendly though). The country is beautiful and the Soca Valley Julian Alps stunning - the colour of the water has to be seen to be believed. We did more or less the same trip you are now. You must do the Bohinj car train - an incredible experience. In Croatia we did Hvar (before it got trendy ) - it's very pretty, but I suspect other islands are just as nice. The one regret we have is not doing more of inland Croatia - since then we have seen and heard of amazing places. Don't rush Slovenia for Croatia though.
That’s really interesting, we’ve heard similar stuff about Slovenia but there also seem to be quite a few free services so it will be interesting to see how it is. Thanks so much for the tips, much appreciated. We still don’t have a solid plan so we’re going to play it by ear once we arrive and get a feel for how easy it is in a van there. ❤️
This is going to be a fabulous trip...I can feel it in my bones. Looking forward to following along.
We really hope so! ❤️
Slovenia is amazing. You can spend days there and the hikes and scenery never gets old. Plus the beer and wine are around €1-2 each. It’s great. You have to try the Prekmurska gibanica, one of the best desserts around. You won’t regret spending days there
Sounds like somewhere we’ll really enjoy. Just googled tat dessert and it looks amazing! Will definitely be sampling some of that 😁 Thanks for the tips 👍
Aww what a beautiful little village… love it! Great vlog and great to see you’re little one growing and thriving … she’s a real sweetie .. and her little personality is emerging 🙏♥️

You have to buy a vignette to travel in Slovenia. Buy it just before you cross the border.
You can tell how little planning we’ve done! Thanks for the heads up, we’ll bear that in mind when we get there ☺️
Hello Sarah, long time no see, we’ve only just found your channel so we have a LOT of catching up to do, 👍 Ady, Val, Rachel and Dolly the Bulldog
Heyyy!!! Oh my gosh - yeah must be 20+ years! How old is Rachel now? Well there’s plenty of videos to go at! We’re currently in Italy on our way over to Turkey ☺️
Yes Switzerland very expensive, I have family there. Slovenia, postojna caves a must. Excited for this big trip. X
Oooh thanks for the tip! We’ll look those up 😀❤️
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing try and watch a you tube, there is a train going through it. Fab. Great memories. Hope the weather is being kind to you. X
Just discovered you guys and loving the videos so far… how do you find the aires or stops you stay at? Are there apps or websites you frequently use?
Ah thank you 😊 Yes we use a few but the main one is park4night 👍
If Ady is two, how are finding potty training ?
