Alright summer is definitely over now so I thought I’d do a roundup post of summer 2015 spent living in my van and travelling Europe – my second summer in the van. It’s quite long (over 50 photos) so I split it into in 2 parts. The second part is here
I was in Greece. It was getting warm so I started to go slowly north
I put together a photo gallery: Driving north through Greece
I’d spent all of Spring writing the ebook. I promised myself a good summer
I found some really nice places to camp
See post on Lefkada the island for vans
And went to the best beach I have ever been to!
See post on Porto Katsiki
I was on my own. With all this space
The days were getting longer
See more photos on My bike ride on the sea
I can shower outside now
See post on The DIY bottle shower
I ran all the way to the top top of Vikos Gorge
See my post on Vikos Gorge
And explored northern Greece
Then my friend Matt from the UK came to see me
We drove through Kosovo and were amazed at its beauty
Oh and we met this guy who lives on the river bed
See post on Living on a DIY riverbed island
But we carried on driving north into Montenegro
The whole country is like this…
See post on A tour through Montenegro
We tried to row across lake Skadar to Albania but instead we found this old prison
See post on The biggest lake in Balkans and trying to row to Albania
We got to Croatia
See the Croatia photo gallery
And fried eggs on a kayak
See post on The Kayak lunch
The good wildcamping spots are harder to find here but they are worth it
We found some nice hidden spots on the Croatian coast
Matt went back to England after 3 weeks. I kept exploring Croatia
I went to Pag Island – see this post
This was in Plitvika national park, Croatia
See my post on A tour of Plitvika national park – really nice place!
But the festivals were calling. I started with Samsara festival in Hungary
See post: Photos from Samsara festival
These are the summers I always dreamt about
Meeting other travellers and van people
And making new friends
Time for another festival: Freqs of nature, Germany
See Freqs of nature festival in 15 photographs
I finally got to go to the city I always wanted to go to: Berlin
See post: Welcome to Berlin – findings from my bike ride
I set up camp with the other vans on a van street
See more of this street in this post: Meet the neighbours
My friend Finn (from last summer) got a 24hr bus from England to meet me in Berlin. He brought new music!
But we still try to make our own
We went to Woodstock festival in Poland
See my 15 photos from Poland’s huge free festival
And then to Czech Republic to find a party in some abandoned army base
