Lonely Planet released a new coffee table book: Epic Road Trips of Europe — and we got to contribute a chapter! It was a work dream come true to create a story for a Lonely Planet book and about one of our favourite subjects too, an amazing vanlife trip to the west coast of Jutland in Denmark.
At the hight of the pandemic, when we felt the walls of our apartment closing in around us, we packed a tent for a camping micro adventure close to home in the Netherlands. We booked a stay in a local’s spacious backyard via Dutch start-up Campspace and experienced how easy it can be to switch off, as we spent an evening by a campfire sharing stories with a stranger.
Deep in the forests of Värmland in the west of Sweden lies a collection of incredible green stays. At Naturbyn, you can sleep in a floating hut on a lake, in a wooden cabin with a green roof, or in a magnificent treehouse 10 meters (30 feet) above the forest floor. We got the chance to stay in the treehouse for an incredible back-to-nature experience.
