The length of time you can travel to Europe depends on your nationality, the country you’re visiting, and whether you need a visa
Last summer I did something different I wanted to take my van on a long road trip so I packed my bags looked at an old map and left with the only goal of having fun I wanted to see it all from the mountains in the Alps to the little coastal towns to The Melting glaciers and also the missing ones so I guess this is what happens when you have no plans and there’s a whole continent to explore anyway I left Portugal in early July and my first stop was a beautiful National Park in the north of Spain called Picos
Europa I just made it to a town called hio which is behind me I think this is like the beginning of the national park and oh my God it’s really exceeding my expectations I’ve driven across Spain quite a few times it’s your only option when you live in the the Western most country of Europe but each time I’ve managed to find new places and this was no exception that over there on the other side of the river that is France we are about to cross to a new country let’s go we made it to France oh God this is
the exact same spot where I crossed the border last year during my bike trip uh so if you watch that video you’ll know that there’s no signs telling you uh you made it to France but yeah this this region is so incredibly touristy it’s kind of impossible to do anything because there’s so many people everywhere I think I’m just going to drive past all these um like coastal towns as tempting as it was to explore the coast I ended up driving towards Inland the roads were empty and there were so many villages to explore we’re
going inside a castle oh my God Stones we carry clothes we lived in all the tales we will tell our children oh we take in the high rooll after spending a few days on the road I made it to Paris the idea was to meet up with my friend and convince her to join me for a couple weeks luckily she agreed so together we decided to drive east towards Strasburg this trip was actually only possible thanks to quadlock they have the perfect phone case for your next
adventure recently they came up with a new ma cases which have magnets on them so instead of having to twist and lock it just snaps into place the cool thing is that it is compatible with wireless charging so by connecting the charger to the car socket you get a wireless charger in your car which I think is pretty cool obviously they offer all sorts of mounts and cases so if you’d like to grab one make sure you check the link in the description to get 10% off on any purchase again thank you quadlock for sponsoring this video and now let’s go to the Alps no matter where go I’m only going with you I’m so glad I decided to come to the Alps cuz I’ve always wanted to come here during summer seeing the snow up there and using just a shirt outside I don’t know I think it’s a cool combination Bloom cuz I took the long road to find you wanted me my mind’s been blind and need need to change let’s restart I’m coming home now with my whole heart this is dinner s why you laughingni I wish we had a stove but we don’t it’s funny how a tent some boring sandwiches and a cold night in the mountains can make you feel so alive I had no plans when I left home I didn’t know what I was looking for but I feel like this was in fact the very essence of what I was seeking but anyway after spending some time in the French Alps we made it to a new country sweet Salon here we go there’s the flag as we crossed the border we heard about a little cabin lost in the mountains so after doing some research
we found some Clues okay if my guess is correct this should be the place and the cabin should be somewhere over there which seems like a pretty short hike I’m pretty sure we can get there in less than 2 hours so let’s go we’ll see you tomorrow can somebody tell me if these are edice cuz I wanted to see them but I’m not sure if this is it I think they’re dead there it is and I’m pretty sure there is nobody there here it is oh
no it’s locked can you read what it says here history need to make a reservation oh guess oh there’s a lock here so maybe the keys are inside okay so it might be possible there’s a number here uh I’m just going to try to message them yes it is possible yay wa a so cozy already oh this smell it smells like a sauna yeah it’s like a fairy tale yeah maybe it’s locked from the outside oh there we
go was there is light wow can’t believe it what do you think this view after spending almost a month in the Alps and hiking a bunch of different Trails we were longing for a good swim so the next morning we left in search of that eventually we left Switzerland and drove all the way to Venice which was so much fun to explore look what we have
here’s in Italy of course after spending so much time in nature it felt good being in a touristy spot and trying every ice cream shop we could unfortunately ch’s holiday was coming to an end so after spending almost 4 weeks together we said goodbye and as for me I decided to continue on my own and drive further south strong honestly I think ghost lines are overrated I I think I’ve done that mistake
myself uh but you just need to drive a little bit in land to find spots like this one with no one um I have spent the whole morning here and I haven’t seen a single person uh nobody really cares about my van the police is not coming um and yeah I don’t really know why people are so obsessed with the coastline um and I’m not just talking about Croatia I’m talking about coastlines in general I think it’s much nicer to be in a spot like this than being on a crowded beach somewhere so I think I’m going to spend
the whole day here it’s very nice and the water is so cold obviously after saying that I drove towards the shore and I’m happy to report that it’s still possible to find some empty beaches also as I spend time alone time was slowing down and since I was not in a rush I decided to take a ferry to go explore one of the many islands along the coast I cannot believe that I’m here all alone what and the water is so blue look at this life from the island was amazing there’s not much else you can ask for
but after a while I was starting to meet the people that I would like to share it with so after giving it some thought I decided it was time to go good morning I’m about to board a ferry to go back to Italy which means I’m officially on my way back home even though leaving Croatia was a bit sad I was excited for the last leg of the road trip so after crossing the Adriatic Sea I arrived to the south of Italy and my first stop was Mata where they filmed the James Bond movie I’m having breakfast with this
view wow it definitely lived up to my expectations and as the sun was still shining and the views were good I decided to stay for a few days after all I was trying to enjoy the ride back home this is just an old sistern and it’s humongous it had capacity for 5 million L of water which is mindblowing and it’s it’s pretty cool [Music] inside I kept on driving West and eventually I made it to the Amalfi Coast where I found some of the sketchiest roads of the whole trip and to be honest I’m still not sure how I managed to park
my van there I’m swimming in Positano well it was definitely cool to see it in person but it was so packed that instead I decided to go try the best pizza in the world look at this that looks so good so good I can confirm those were indeed the best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life and I still have some leftovers for dinner as I drove across Italy the trip slowly
came to an end and after spending over 3 months on the road the idea of going back home felt right we are back in France I didn’t know what to expect from a trip like this driving over 12,000 km across 10 different countries while eating outside every day and going for the most beautiful sunset swims really makes you feel like you’re making the most of it you might call me crazy but if waking up in the morning and peeing out of your van isn’t the best feeling in the world I don’t know what is back
in Spain and so after spending 105 days on the road I made it back home and honestly I couldn’t have asked for more and so now I ask you what’s your next adventure going to be I hope you don’t let it pass by cuz life is short and there’s plenty of time to be dead
