Trans-Trabant Expedition

Nomadic Stories from Around the World

Summer nicely accelerated all the changes. I wouldn’t believe that caravan would work so great. We started two years ago and I already know about a couple of new caravan travellers. I also know about Transporter guys and few other wannabes. Some are also changing from alcove to fully integrated RV.

My name is Víťa Válka and I am an illustrator and a designer for a living. After the birth of our children, I’ve completely changed the way of our summer vacation and my work. Untouched by caravan travels, I reassessed my options in 2012 and I bought the English caravan Coachman. It’s fully equipped for traveling, no…

Our second caravan trip was worth it. We went through tidy Austria, clean north and also wild south of Italy —  11 camps altogether. Traveling with family worked on a trip over 5.000 km long. Toyota did everything well.

With children around the world

How can you earn enough money without missing out your children’s growing up? Modern nomads have a perfect recipe for the dilemma of many today’s parents: they travel the world together.

Do Something Great

It’s here! We are planning our second big trip. And want to try something new. I will shoot a couple of videos on our trip. It will be a challenge – I have never filmed anything more than our kids. Fingers crossed.

Caravan Family in Croatia

A Month in a Caravan. Easy.

June 2012 we spent with my family in southern Europe — in Croatian Camping Split. It was a crucial experience. It has showed us, that it would be possible to life half a year in a caravan. Very easily.

Change Everything That Does not Fit

Buying a caravan usually is a life-changer. With my family we have not only enhanced our traveling, but significantly changed our life attitude. We are throwing away things we don’t like and are focusing on things we do like.

I’ve just completed a driver’s license for big trailer. Yeah! Only the item plant a tree is remaining on my bucket list of a good father. Also, I’m considering to replace our expensive BMW with a 4×4 AWD Truck with limited electronics. Anyway, let’s dive in camping photos and tips for camping beginners.

Just Ordered our First Caravan

This is an awesome moment. Since autumn 2011 me & my wife were actively searching for the perfect caravan. We’ve visited several shops with used trailers. The switch to becoming a digital nomad required this. And it’s coming now. The crazy idea is becoming real.

The one who wants something, looks for a way & the one who does not want, looks for a reason. That was my approach to the caravan idea. I wanted to solve this maze, this unanswered question. As the caravan looks like a great solution for family travels. Kids are growing fast and I don’t want to miss…

Caravanning In Europe: What You Need to Know

I was looking up all the complex rules of caravanning in Europe – weight allowances, driver’s license, and all the legal regulations. It’s a little bit more complicated than I thought. The good thing is that it’s all covered under a single set of EU laws. This is what I found.

We’re Buying a Caravan

I couldn’t resist. I’ve got ton of information about caravans from YouTube and other sources online. I’ve drove around my town to see used travel trailers in reality. I’ve subscribed to printed magazines. I must say, I got hooked quick.
