From Arctic Nights to Balkan Roads: Lessons from Nordkapp
Our journey to Nordkapp was the perfect test run for life on the road. After setting off from Travemünde to Helsinki, we had 40 days to explore Finland and Norway, pushing both ourselves and our rig to the limits in Arctic conditions.
Reaching the northernmost point of mainland Europe was an incredible milestone, but the true highlight? Watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky—an unforgettable moment that made every challenge along the way worthwhile.
And there were challenges! As expected, the shakedown trip revealed a few things that needed tweaking. That’s exactly why we did it—better to refine and improve now than face surprises later. After some final upgrades at Twiga, the truck is dialed in, and we’re officially on our first big tour through the Balkans.
From the Arctic to the Adriatic, the adventure continues!
What Comes Next?
We’ve officially hit the road on our first big tour through the Balkans! After months of planning and fine-tuning, our custom-built RV is now fully road-tested and ready for adventure. This journey is all about exploring rugged landscapes, discovering hidden gems, and putting our rig through its paces on some epic gravel roads.
The build is finally complete, thanks to Twiga Travel Cars, and we’re loving every moment of life on the move. As we roam through the Balkans, we’re soaking in the diverse cultures, breathtaking scenery, and thrilling overland routes. Every twist and turn teaches us something new about life on the road, and we can’t wait to share it all with you!
Looking ahead, June is set to be an exciting month — our rig will be showcased at Abenteuer Allrad at the Twiga Travel Cars booth! If you're at the event, come check it out and say hi!
For now, we’ll keep embracing the adventure, capturing the magic of the open road, and bringing you along for the ride. Stay tuned for more stories, photos, and travel tips from the heart of the Balkans!
Long Term Plans
Over the next few years, our journey will span several continents and diverse landscapes. After the shakedown cruise to Nordkap through Scandinavia, we’ll then head to Spain and Morocco, followed by a spring visit to Iceland. In the summer, we explore the Balkans, including Serbia, Albania, Greece, and Turkey.
The following year, after relocating our RV to Halifax, Canada, we will traverse from the East Coast to Alaska. Subsequently, we'll spend several months exploring the scenic trails of the USA’s West Coast, particularly in Utah, before moving down through Mexico and into Central America. This plan promises a rich mix of cultural and geographical experiences, offering new adventures with each destination.
Combating Travel Fatigue with Friendship
As we gear up for our epic journey, we've taken inspiration and insights from seasoned travelers like Yoda Travels, La Vagabonde, and Itchy Boots. A common challenge they face is travel fatigue. We think this stems from a lack of deep, enduring relationships while on the road.
Reconnecting with friends worldwide.
Our previous professional careers blessed us with colleagues who became friends scattered across various destinations on our itinerary.
By planning to meet at least one friend each month during our travels, we aim to enrich our journey with meaningful interactions and prevent the sense of isolation that can come from long-term travel. We hope this approach not only refreshes our spirits but also deepens our connections, making every part of our adventure even more rewarding.
