The “Schengen Shuffle” continues! After months of navigating the rugged beauty of Albania and the history of Italy, we officially crossed into country number 10: Spain. 🇪🇸 But as any motorhome traveler knows, getting to the destination is often half the story—and this journey was one for the books. The Longest Voyage Our transition started…

After six months of navigating the narrow streets, the “Great Pasta Aisles,” and the stunning coastlines of Italy, we’ve officially reached the end of our Italian chapter. It’s been a journey of high expectations, physical exhaustion, and “happy detours” that we never saw coming. Wysteria at Sosta Camper Prajola, where we also found fellow English…

They say Sicily is part of Italy, but the moment you drive Holly (our 8-meter Hymer) off the ferry in Messina, you realize you’ve entered something entirely unique. It’s “similar but different,” and it’s breathtaking. The Logistics of the Strait Our third ferry trip of the tour was the shortest yet—just 30 minutes! We were…

The “Schengen Shuffle” is real, folks. After 33 days of “Rainabania”—seriously, we think we forgot what the sun looked like—it was finally time to point Holly toward the coast and head back to the European Union. But as any full-time traveler knows, the transition from one country to the next is rarely a straight line.…

Six months. One 8-meter motorhome. One very brave dog. And 33 straight days of rain. When we sold our house and loaded up “Holly” for a life on the road, we knew there would be adventures. We just didn’t realize those adventures would include navigating missing sewer grates in Vlorë, getting “bounced” by late-night donut-drivers,…

When we knew this trip was going to be a realty, one of our new goals was to meet a traveling couple that helped inspire this adventure. Andre & Lisa have a website We Will Nomad, and roaming around they have certainly done. I got an email while in Villanova that some our messages to…

While we had seen the sea while driving, Kasey really wanted some beach time, and we were passing by Gargano National Park, so it seemed like a good detour for her to get her feet wet. It was a winding, sometimes tight, route to get to the national park. We made it down the dirt…

So after a day in Venice, we are heading south down the east side of Italy, the back of the boot, if you will. Our first stop was at a Farm Camp south and just outside of Venice. I was greeted by a friendly, English Speaking, host and we got checked in, and led to…

We arrived in Marostica while it was dark. It did make it a bit more of a challenge, and after passing a castle, and making a U-Turn, we found the parking lot, just not exactly the space. We did put ourselves next to another camper, but we were more parked among cars. Just at the…

Our entry into Italy didn’t give us a whole lot of a chance to look around. We left Switzerland and drove right into the city of Como. There were remains of a border crossing, the increase in urban activity really told us we were in a new place. Como was bigger than we thought, and…
