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.
