Best road trip quotes to inspire your travel and adventures!

Blog· Travel· Van life

16 Feb

We love nothing more than to jump in the car or camper and head off on a road trip. Last year we jumped in our VW T5 camper and took a Summer road trip along the west coast of France and into Spain. I love the idea of spontaneous travel with the kids …..  to explore and see where the road may take us. A road trip means you can drive off the beaten track to finally reach your destination, discovering hidden gems along the way.

[Ad] Talk to me about campervan and camping bedding...

➡️do you pack a duvet?
➡️ or a sleeping bag?

We always pack sleeping bags for the kids in the #poptop roof and then a duvet for the bed. 

@finebeddingco have sent us this gorgeous Night Owl coverless duvet to try and it seems perfect for both home and travel. 

No more faffing with putting the bedding on in a small space and it can be washed in the washing machine, oh and dries in less than 90 - 120 minutes. Perfect for vanlife. It also comes in a handy drawstring bag so packs really well. I’ve added some photos on my stories. It’s a winner.

AD 📸 One photo - a million memories ❤️

How many of us all are guilty of taking a million photos and not actually having them printed?

Yep - I am ✋ 

This has to be my most favourite photo from our road trip the year before last. It’s the one of us enjoying the sunset on the beach at La Paz - our last stop on our summer road trip. It had rained all day and we had been playing games in the camper, it stopped raining and we quickly headed to the beach to view the most spectacular sunset and watch the surfers.

I have recently had it framed with @my_picture_co_uk  and it’s just beautiful. Reminds me of throwing out the routine and chasing the sun. 
 
Do you share all your amazing photos on social media but never actually print them?

Last week I chatted to the lovely Jenny @travelynn Last week I chatted to the lovely Jenny @travelynnfamily as part of her bongo convo series.

Did you catch it?

I think it is the first time I’ve ever chatted on a live, or chatted in front of a camera even 😆

Anyway I just wanted to say thank you  so much for all the messages and lovely comments after the live. I’ve had a few vanlife questions too so I will pop them in my stories for you.

Thank you  Jenny for inviting me to take part in your new live travel chat. Chatting about Van life and road trips .... It definitely made my soul smile :)
🏕Sunday share is back 🏕 My next campsite to 🏕Sunday share is back 🏕

My next campsite to share is a really lovely campsite in Llangollen. We were introduced to this lovely site by my beautiful friend @a_girl_on_the_crescent 

Abbey Farm Campsite

@abbeyfarmllangollen is a working farm set just outside the beautiful town of Llangollen in North Wales.

Suitable  for camping, touring caravans and motor homes and camping pods available.  There are three self-catering cottages to rent and also a static caravan site.

The camping fields are set next to the ruins of Valle Crusis Abbey, and what we loved the most - there is a small brook that runs across the bottom of the field that the kids absolutely loved.

Facilities

Hot showers/ toilets
Laundry room
Bistro/bar
Shop
Electric Hook Up
Dogs Welcome 

What we loved 💕

⭐️Family campsite 
⭐️The brook provided hours of fun
⭐️Picturesque Llangollen a walk away 
⭐️Beautiful location with lots of space and walks
⭐️An ideal base to explore North Wales 

Definitely one to bookmark 

🏡For now the message is to stay at home, but my Sunday share is to inspire and introduce you to new campsites for when the time is right xx
