✨ New for 2025! On the first Sunday of every month, we open the floor for you to ask us anything about our life on the road. From navigating the Schengen shuffle to wild camping with kids, this is your space to get curious.
We’re not claiming to be experts — just real-life nomads doing our best to make every day count, and sharing what we’ve learned along the way. After each Ask Us Anything, we’ll bundle your anonymous questions (and our honest answers) into a handy PDF guide you can download from our website — perfect for offline access when you’re off-grid.
This month, we’re diving into one of the most frequently asked (and most misunderstood) topics out there: the Schengen Zone. Whether you’re new to full-time travel or a seasoned vanlifer wondering about updated rules, we’re here to help demystify the do’s, don’ts and hacks of border-hopping in Europe.
No question is too small or too weird. This only works if you jump in, so don’t hold back — we’d love to hear from you.
Ready when you are. Over to you,
