Behind the Scenes: Planning Our European Campervan Road Trip

It's nearly SUMMER and we are about to embark on an epic, 6 week road trip in our VW campervan around Europe. We often get asked how do we plan and organise our adventures and yet build in the flexibility to change our plans when we are on the road.

In this video we will take you through all our thinking and planning that has gone into our next road trip. From looking at time blocking, to keeping flexibility and prioritising key areas of the trip. As a cheeky bonus, we will take you through many of the administrative tasks that have to be completed for an extended road trip to be a successful and safe trip.

Discover our favorite tools and resources for planning a seamless and enjoyable campervan trip across Europe. Whether you're a seasoned vanlifer or planning your first extended road trip, this video is packed with valuable insights and inspiration to help you embark on your own European adventure.
