I was inspired by my blogging friend Maria from Sweden and her beautiful post about lake to share what my brother is up to right now. As I’m writing this, he’s somewhere deep in the Swedish wilderness, completely off-grid. Tents, campfires, no electricity… no extras … just nature. This isn’t a one-time adventure either. He … More Off-Grid in Sweden: Chasing Wild Salmon
Today we had sunny weather here in Salacgriva. Still windy, but sunny! No rain! All the ground is soaking wet and muddy, so girls still need rain boots and the wind asks for warm fleece jackets, too. Baltic sea is 2 km away from us, so Janis took two bigger girls to the sea. To play … More A bit of the sun and the wind: Salacgriva
Now I have my head full of ideas what we need to pack, how we need to pack, what we need inside the car, what in the caravan. Where to go, how much km we can drive in one day, how to relax and how to entertain 3 kiddos. But when I’ll get home – … More How to travel with kids
We were woken up by bells of the church at 10 am. How do you like that!? At 10 am! We stayed for one more day in Leidersbach. The weather was so nice – not hot, not too sunny, cool and partly cloudy – not raining. That playground and horses I wrote about yesterday weren’t in … More Day 2 at Leidersbach: Laundry and Walk
No way! After having a good time in Lich, we couldn’t head back home. It just didn’t feel right. We all felt like we need to travel a bit more…. just a bit more before we head back. We drive a bit down (away from Latvia) and stayed at a funny small city called Leidersbach. It’s … More No way! Leidersbach
Did laundry without losing a sock …. today was a good day! It was an interesting experience. And I can say it’s something that takes all day. We bought our portable washing machine for camper and tried it already while at home. It didn’t work as planned but I guess my expectations was higher than … More Laundry Day & Playground
Now we are free. Free to go whenever we like. We left family friends and the beautiful/magical garden and drove to the closest shop to buy some food and water. We wanted to visit the city and see the castle up the hill. The frequent need of toilet spoiled all the so called plan. We … More Without a destination
As you know we were in the Berlin for a few days and the main reason was to see Viola – Nelles Godmother and to celebrate Nelles 5th birthday. We decided to leave the caravan near family friend’s house and drive all the way (more than 400km) to the Berlin just by the car. That … More My happy place
Oh it looks like it is getting worse! We started our journey today. And that’s good! But there is “BUT”. Janis is getting ill. He is having angina and he looks tired. Can’t swallow, can’t speak… His body temperature is getting higher and higher. And… he is the only driver! We are in Lithuania and … More Getting worse!?
This is THAT day! Finally, we can’t wait any longer and decide to bring our caravan home to clean it up and start to install solar panels on the roof and move in. Here is the video how it looks inside and my feelings…. It was easy to clean… it wasn’t dirty and it’s about … More Getting ready: cleaning treiler / caravan
It would be our first travel trailer trip. Actually, the third trip for me and Janis together, the second trip with kids (actually the first was 4 years ago when Nelle was only 9 months old and she was the one and only kid: we visited our friends in Germany!). AND this is our first … More Our travel trailer trip through Europe
Let start with the name. Is it travel trailer or is it camper!? Both words are fine with me! First family travel trailer trip through Europe vs First family camper trip through Europe. Ok, Ok! I can’t wait for it (the name doesn’t matter)! I’m so excited and the girls are too! It feels like it would … More Our travel trailer / camper
