Summer 2015 living and travelling Europe in a van – Part 1

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

And went to the best beach I have ever been to!

The good wildcamping spots are harder to find here but they are worth it

living-and-travelling-europe-diy-campervan-summer-2015-41

We found some nice hidden spots on the Croatian coast

These are the summers I always dreamt about

Meeting other travellers and van people

And making new friends
