Our Big Fat Campervan Road Trip started as a crazy idea. What if we put our lives and on hold and spent a grown-up gap year exploring Europe in our camper? Twenty-one thousand miles, twenty countries, and countless incredible experiences later, we still can't believe we pulled it off.
This road trip diary-cum-guidebook follows our adventures on the first leg of our grand tour - a seven-thousand miles, Scandinavian adventure from the UK to the Arctic Circle... and back.
It's an honest, useful, and entertaining handbook for anyone interested in discovering (mostly) Sweden, Norway and Denmark in a camper or motorhome. It covers:
- Must-see destinations - reviews of bucket-list attractions you can't afford to miss.
- Hidden gems - quirky and lesser-known places to visit off the tourist trail.
- Spectacular Stopovers - idyllic locations to stay in the wilderness - often for free.
- Honest Insights - the challenges and triumphs of touring northern Europe in a mobile home.
And if you fancy following in our tyre tracks for any part of our route, it's so easy. We've included precise, 'what3words' location details for over 150 camper-friendly places where we parked to visit attractions or stayed the night.
Most of all, we hope our adventures inspire you. If vanlife virgins like us can tackle a
Big Fat Campervan Road Trip - anyone can!
