Of all the trips we've ever taken, there's one that beats all the others, and that's our year-long motorhome trip around Europe in 2015. Despite this being the coolest trip we've ever done, we realised that it wasn't easy to find information about it on the blog. We have changed that now! We have simply built a page where you can quickly and easily find everything about our year-long motorhome trip.

ShareAll in one place
Now we have gathered all the information about motorhome travel in one place, on the page "Motorhome around Europe". Here we have posted a map of the trip and linked to posts about packing, how much the trip cost, answers to frequently asked questions, etc.
We also describe the entire journey, from start to finish, with links to relevant blog posts. We have divided the journey into different "stages" and for each stage we have chosen to share our best memory and our biggest challenge. After all, when you embark on a journey like this, you face different challenges, even if most of them can be solved without major problems!
Plans for a new motorhome trip
As I have been preparing this page, I have of course been dreaming back to the motorhome trip we did in 2015. What a fantastic year it was! We got to see and experience so much, while still having time to relax, exercise, read books ...
Far from having planned the trip from the beginning, we planned as we went along, taking inspiration from people we met along the way. That's the best thing about travelling by motorhome - you have the house with you and can drive wherever the sun shines or the adventure feels most appealing.
Now we have started planning for the next motorhome trip! I will soon start a 6-month project employment, and after that we plan to travel in Europe for a few months. Where to? We haven't decided yet, but of course we want to see and experience places that we not saw last time. Feel free to make suggestions!

Thank you very much! It was thanks to your suggestion that we realised that we should collect this information somewhere.

Wow, what an amazing trip and adventure. Maybe something you only do once in a lifetime.
It's great to see your itinerary.
17 December 2017 - 8:44
Helena says:
Yes, this was a special trip that we also planned a long time for. Hope to get out for a few months in 2018 as well, but not a whole year though 😉.

Great! We ourselves are looking at what our upcoming trip will look like. Now it will be easy to find info.
17 December 2017 - 9:29
Helena says:
Great if it can be used! And good luck with your travel planning! 🙂

So good of you, I can only imagine the work behind it!
17 December 2017 - 9:57
Helena says:
Thank you!!! Yes, it's probably only other travel bloggers who understand how much work you put in sometimes ... 😉.

I've been travelling around and reliving your trip, which I followed all year. I am particularly pleased that I was able to tell you about favourite places in Brittany and here in the south of France. Fantastic to see you in Camaret, Gorges de Verdon and the limestone caves in Les Beau de Provence. Our motorhome time is over but the places are still there and are accessible by regular car as well so for us there will be more visits. Hope to see you when you come south to our region again!
17 December 2017 - 9:59
Helena says:
We have many great memories from France! Would be very fun to meet! 🙂

Greece is my tip! And then northwards from there.
Crete is like its own country where you can spend a long time.
For the 7th month of winter we are in Paleochora, a fishing village in south-west Crete. And we can never get enough of the island. But we also island hop on other Greek islands in spring and autumn.
17 December 2017 - 10:00
Helena says:
Thanks for the tips on Greece! We collect all tips in a pile 🙂

What a job! But what a great result! I understand that it was a wonderful experience and that it tastes better.

That's the "worst" part, that it gives you more flavour 😉.

Truly a long lovely journey with a nice travelogue!
Enjoy the 3rd Advent......:-)

What a job you have done...
You can go to Greece, we think. Our favourite country.
We use your trips to help us when we travel. Last summer we were in Albania and Monte Negro by motorhome. We will return to both countries again. There is a lot of great things to see.
17 December 2017 - 10:42
Helena says:
Several people recommend Greece, so we'll just have to consider it 🙂 .

Geddfish says:
What an annual trip 😀 A lot of work, I understand.
It sounds fantastic to be able to polish this and make a new version. I loved the caravan life where travelling was the goal. Thrived so well in our little nest. Did not feel small in any way, you adapt. But that was then.
Today I am doing other things.
Have a nice planning 3 advent and big hug <3
17 December 2017 - 10:47
Helena says:
I recognise your description, both of the journey being the goal and of feeling comfortable in your little nest 🙂.

A nice reunion with the trip that was a great inspiration for our own 8-month long campervan trip through Europe in 2016 🙂 .
The next trip should definitely go to the part of Europe you didn't visit last time, namely Eastern Europe: Russia, the Baltic countries, Slovakia, Hungary, and then Greece. Including Crete! 🙂
17 December 2017 - 10:49
Helena says:
We really like Eastern Europe so these countries are tempting! Let's see how the planning goes 😉

It's almost time to get your motorhome on the road again.
17 December 2017 - 11:25
Helena says:
Yeah, right!? How are you? All good I hope!!!?
17 December 2017 - 14:15
Daniel @ BringBlingToTraveling says:
Well, that's just fine! Right now we're down in Albufeira, Portugal, and intend to explore the whole of the Algarve with the motorhome and then continue up the country until we've seen everything Portugal has to offer.

Suggestions for a new trip are of course
ENGLAND
We did a 3 month motorhome trip in this country in 2016. In a motorhome of course. We visited a lot of Scottland and some back and forth down through England and ended up on the marvellous island.
Isle of Wight
17 December 2017 - 11:56
Helena says:
England and Scotland are also interesting! We have some left 😉 .

Husisblogg says:
What a wonderful summary. Must have been twice as good to be involved in this as few of the other owners do. As the owners were not active in the blog world then, they unfortunately did not follow the journey but it usually does now. Right now, the owners are looking a little extra at your Poland pages because I have heard that they are talking about going there this summer, if they get a few weeks of holiday together.
Last but not least, the owners and I would like to wish you a Happy Third Advent!
17 December 2017 - 11:56
Helena says:
Nice that the owners are planning for Poland! There are many nice things to see and experience, and also at a good price! 🙂

Linda says:
Followed you when you were travelling and will definitely look into this. We are planning a 4 month trip with a motorhome next summer. For our part, it will be a lot of Germany, the Alps and Italy, but who knows what ideas we get because!
17 December 2017 - 13:33
Helena says:
What fun to hear that you followed our trip Linda! And what fun that you also get away on a long trip with the motorhome!!!! 🙂
17 December 2017 - 14:17
BP says:
Great job! Followed you daily and travelled with you. It was really a great trip! That you then leave again I understand. You only live once, best to take advantage of the opportunity. Oh 2018 is perfect timing after the project employment.
A destination that you mentioned and that has really received an incredible amount of PR, including through reports on the BBC, is Georgia.
17 December 2017 - 16:01
Helena says:
We are very keen on Georgia! It may not be with a motorhome, but we will definitely make sure to get there! 🙂

We look forward to that. I mean a new journey, you tell it so simply and well that it almost felt like a fellow traveller. So good luck with the planning.

Glad to hear that you like our travel stories Annar! 🙂

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
Your blog is exemplary easy to search in when it comes to travel destinations, as now before our month-long spring trip with Croatia as the main destination. Even if you do not need to plan so many details in advance, it is always good to be informed and know what good (and less good) alternatives there are along the way.
Then we look forward to your new journey. It seems that many people recommend an eastern route and there is an incredible amount to see and experience.
17 December 2017 - 18:04
Helena says:
Glad to hear that you find our site easy to navigate! The East is interesting! There is also a lot of central Europe that we have not explored. We'll see how it goes ...!

It was your year-long journey that got me stuck here.
What a trip it has been - and continues to be. Is soooo
glad to be included, wherever you go. 🙂

It's great to hear that you think so Ruth! We are so happy that you are with us here! 🙂

Matts Torebring says:
I think I followed you every day of the trip. A journey like yours, looking around, visiting new places all the time, I think that's just great. A memory that you will never forget and hardly any of us will either.
17 December 2017 - 19:13
Helena says:
Glad you followed the trip that way Matts! We have so many memories from that year - not forgetting.

Yes, what a roundtrip! It was during that trip that I started following your blog. As a motorhome fanatic, I like it when you plan a new trip. I immediately follow it.

Nice to have you on the trip Solan! 🙂

It's nice to travel around, but for all of you who are of working age, it will be limited in time, I have an optimal solution for pensioners to spend the winter in Sicily and spend significantly less than in Sweden, get in touch if you want to know more greetings Kjell
18 December 2017 - 9:45
Helena says:
Yes, it is true that you have to take into account the job and income ... Optimal solution never sounds wrong 😉 If nothing else, it makes you curious, so you can tell us!

Ditte says:
It was a fantastic trip you made in so many different ways. And being away for so long gives completely different perspectives than rushing with a lot in a month or so. I followed your trip with great pleasure and think it is great that you have managed and put in so much effort but the map, summary and links! Many thanks! And even though we are not "motorhomes! there is still so much to absorb and utilise.
It's exciting to start a new journey and I'm sure you have your own thoughts and suggestions.
18 December 2017 - 18:15
Helena says:
Of course, travelling is different when you're out for so long! And the destinations we write about can be visited in different ways, it doesn't have to be by motorhome.
