😱 Last minute trips- too late to book?!
|
Hands up if summer has snuck up on you?! I know it did me!! Several people have contacted me in a panic because they haven't booked anywhere yet for their summer holidays. As one person said "we're not sure we can get in anywhere this year!" If you've left it late too (or didn't bother but now wish you had) this week's video shares some tips for finding last-minute campsites around the UK and Europe.
Hope that helps make your last-minute trips a little easier! Even if you're already sorted for this summer, it's worth saving this one so you can refer to it again in the future. Happy Wandering,
P.S: If you want to widen your options, being able to stay off-grid for a night or two in your motorhome/ campervan will really help. This doesn't mean upsetting any locals, but enables you to use pub car parks, approved stopovers, Stay the Night schemes, aires and hundreds of other spots around the UK & Europe which don't have hookup. I'm doing a live workshop in a few weeks sharing how to stay off-grid with your vehicle and tips and tricks to make battery last longer etc. If you'd like to join us, here's the link (it's free!) |

Hands up if your travel photos basically consist of: your motorhome, your dinner, and the same mountain from 14 slightly different angles? (No shame here - I do the same, plus many many photos of my dog!) I’ve always loved capturing our adventures, but it wasn’t until I started travelling solo that I realised how much you can improve your photos — whether you’re using a drone, a phone or a “proper” camera. So today I wanted to share a few easy ways to get better road trip photos… without...
One of the most common questions I get about France is "where are your favourite places"? And it's TOUGH. There are so many incredible places around France to enjoy. Before we start, I just wanted to acknowledge the awful wildfires happening in parts of France and elsewhere in southern Europe. My thoughts are with everyone affected, especially the local communities and emergency services working so hard. The places I'm sharing below aren't intended as "go there now" recommendations -...
We've all been there. You've packed up your camper, shoved things into cupboards or piled it all on the bed in a last-minute rush... Only to set off and be serenaded by a symphony of noises. Bangs Clunks Clink clink clinks The drawer has slid open. The fridge has emptied it's contents Oh- and you forgot to take the shelf out of the oven. Again All in all, you can barely hear yourself think, (and the poor dog is looking at you like you've done it on purpose to upset him!) Over the years, I...
