The urge to explore

I like to be at home.

Safe, warm, all comfort, and always something to do.

Yet, there is more to life then emptying dishwashers, cleaning up the kid's mess, ... over and over again.

How do you get away from all of that: a break ?

What is the perfect break ?

I knew what that meant to me: exploring.

My wife likes the sun. Little children want water, sand and other children. Older children want wifi.

Trying is knowing.

These days with older children three types of vacation keep standing:

Family ski vacation with the car
CamperVan as a couple, complemented with bikes
4x4 with daughter, son and friends

After buying our first CamperVan, I started preparing. And couldn't keep myself from sharing.

In the menu you can get to my findings related to "selecting a ride", "preparing" and "camping" itself.
