Welcome to our grand European travel hub. Having spent years exploring the continent—including five years living full-time in a motorhome—Europe is our absolute specialty and expertise. Here, we combine independent travel journalism with professional photography to bring you the best European itineraries, curated city guides, and practical travel planning tips. Whether you are searching for scenic motorhome travel routes or looking for hidden gems, our expert travel advice has you covered.

Best time to visit Europe

Europe is a great all-year round destination. However, peak season happens during summer (from May to September). This is when the continent gets more crowded and people from all over the world flock to come here for the best time to visit Europe.

During the winter-months, November to February, Europe gets pretty cold and that’s when a lot of the ski-tourism starts in some parts. And then we have all the Christmas markets that pop up in most countries and that are worth a visit. One special Christmas market is the one that happens in Lubeck each year.

From Vanlife Routes to Hidden Coastal Gems

Our European journeys are driven by a passion for freedom and slow travel. Having rolled through thousands of kilometers across both famous coastlines and remote mountain passes, we focus on showing you the authentic side of each destination.

Visit a Wine festival in Zielona Gora, Poland

Zielona Gora is known for its wine. In September each year, the whole city turns into a wine festival for several days.
