Who are we?
We’re Nigel and Sue, and between us, we’ve visited over 70 countries and completed a 3.5-year campervan trip around Australia. In mid-2024 we came to Europe and bought a campervan, and we’ve been exploring the continent full-time since.
We created this guide because we know how confusing Europe can feel at the planning stage, especially if you’re coming from North America, Australia, or the UK. This isn’t theory or recycled internet advice. It’s what we actually do, day after day, on the road.

Still wondering if this eBook is right for you?
Don’t worry, we got you. Here are some answers for your questions.
“I’ve never travelled Europe by campervan before.”
That’s exactly who this eBook is for. We walk through the realities, decisions, and common mistakes so you can start with clarity instead of confusion.
“We’re not in our 20s anymore – is this realistic?”
Absolutely. We travel slowly, value comfort as much as adventure, and believe that adventure has no age limit.
“I’ve done vanlife before – what’s so different?
Europe is very different. Borders, regulations, parking rules, insurance, and daily logistics aren’t the same as Australia or North America. This eBook focuses on what’s specific to Europe.
“Can’t I just find the info I need online?”
You can, but it takes time. And the internet is full of conflicting advice. This eBook brings everything together in one place, based on our real-world experiences.
Finally…
Travelling Europe by campervan doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right information and mindset, it can be one of the most rewarding ways to explore the continent at any stage of life.
