🌟 Campervan Essentials 🌟

Campervanning looks very different for many people - some prefer a little more luxury, while others are happy with very minimal equipment. I would like to think that we sit somewhere in between those extremes and pride ourselves on only buying and storing things in the van that we consider are essential for making life easier on the road as a family.

🌟➡️ NEW on the BLOG - Our Campervan Essentials! (Link in bio) All recommendations are items we have tried and tested over a considerable period of time, organised within the format of answering questions we have been asked recently.
▪️How can you keep your van clean and tidy on the road?
▪️How do you prepare meals when you are travelling?
▪️How do you manage to travel with children and a dog?
▪️How do you manage to fit everything that you need into such a small space?
▪️What items have you found really useful that I might not have thought of?
▪️What items do you find really useful when travelling with children?

If you could only choose THREE essentials in your campervan, what would they be?

✨ I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees. - Henry David Thoreau ✨⁣
⁣
Do you ever feel this way? I often feel so tiny after time in the forest, realizing how minuscule our place on this earth really is, but what massive damage we have done. ⁣
⁣
Although, I get the point of this quote.. mentally, my heart is full and my mind is clear after time in nature.⁣
⁣
But this is me with poetry.. I’ve never been so great with it because I am very literal. However, I am learning...Cian and I have started a new homeschool ritual of Poetry Teatime. It’s been a fun way to get out of my comfort zone and open up new forms of reading for Cian. ⁣
⁣
I never even knew that he had an interest in poems, but he’s really taken to it. I bought a few books for kids, but what he enjoys more are the classic poets. So many of their writings focus on nature, which is where his love is as well. He’s even begun nature journaling every time we go somewhere - and it’s always a poem. ⁣
⁣
Don’t mind me, I’m just over here adoring what homeschool has brought to us! ⁣
⁣
Every day this child surprises me with his interest in things, his love of learning and excitement to explore all that the world has on offer. ❤️⁣

✨ Wild Horses ✨⁣
⁣
When we began our homeschool journey a friend said they were going to study wild horses. Of course, upon hearing that, Cian said he wanted to as well. So, when we had the opportunity to visit Carson Valley, we knew we had to seek out the wild horses that live in the area. ⁣
⁣
What a dream day. We headed out with a local photographer who has spent his life in these hills, photographing wild animals. ⁣
⁣
We learned so much about the horses, the issues they face from the environment, people and the government. It’s such a tricky situation out here. There are lots of different bands of wild horses that roam the Carson Valley and even into the towns. The ones living close to town have been tainted by people feeding them so they are much friendlier (aka less wild!) than these. We couldn’t get even 100 ft away before they would start moving. ⁣
⁣
I had visions of close up photos with the horses, but you won’t get that here in Carson Valley. These are still as wild as wild can be! ⁣
⁣
They are a beautiful site to behold though. I encourage you to visit them some day.. just please do not feed them or try to get too close. Maybe we can eventually help these guys move deeper into the mountains away from all of us!⁣
⁣
Did you know that wild horses still roamed parts of the US? ⁣
⁣

A GUIDE TO A STATIC CARAVAN HOLIDAY WITH KIDS // We recently enjoyed a short break in a static caravan at Gallaber Park thornleyleisure on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park 🏞

There are real benefits to this type of holiday with kids and I’ve written up a guide if you are planning a UK holiday in a static caravan this year. Don’t forget, it’s often cheaper and with much more availability, especially if you stay further inland and avoid popular resorts.

📍 The blog is linked in my bio and includes:

• How best to book your static caravan holiday
• Choosing between a private site or holiday park
• Size, spec and configuration of the static caravan
• Facilities - what’s included and things to remember
• What to pack!

📌 Save this post if you have a static caravan holiday booked or are planning one this year 📌

Tell me where you are going in the comments below and why you love a static caravan holiday ⬇️

Happy first day of school! 🏫

While everyone at home enjoyed their first day back in the classroom, we spent our first day of school at London’s Natural History Museum.

I’ve been pretty quiet about this trip, because to be honest, I wasn’t 100% sure it was going to happen until it actually happened. The UK gov’t moved Canada to the green list a mere 2.5hrs before we landed 🛬 at Heathrow saving us a couple extra Covid tests and 5-10 days of quarantine. Yay green 💚, now if only they’ll recognize our vaxes 💉

We spent our first day out in London enjoying Sci Fi afternoon tea at the Ampersand hotel, Magical creatures at the Natural History Museum, a wander across the Tower Bridge, Ramen 🍜 for dinner then our day 2 Covid tests (blech).

We’re settled into our apartment for the month and can’t wait to really explore this incredible city!

Hit me up with your London recommendations 🙏

Waking up like, “Ummm, is Santa coming back...do we really have to wait another year?!”

The #floortoceilingwindows in this #airbnb #treehousecabin by evergreen_cabins are everything for my Children. They watched Deer, Turkeys, Birds and were on the lookout for Santa again! 😂

There’s no better gift, than the gift of Travel and I look forward to bringing you more #wanderlust in 2021 with my entire Family. It’s not easy traveling safely with all three, but it’s certainly worth it, for moments like this. 😍

Wander Far Enough, You meet yourself... iamericclark

Make time & appreciate the beauty around you......

I’ve missed you all & hope you’re all OK. My no iPad, insta, TV or phone time together with my little family has been so precious. We decided to take a little time to get back to nature & stay in this amazing safari tent. I’m not an established camping person 🏕 I’ve only camped twice; one for my Duke of Edinburgh award & the other time at Glastonbury festival but I couldn’t resist this opportunity to escape to nature. There are beds, toilet & a hot shower so it’s more boutique glamping than camping but the sound of the rain on the roof was close enough for me! So far the boys have named all the cows, we’ve played games by solar powered fairy lights & my husband has managed to stoke the fire so we were cosy & warm all night x

Of all the places we have been, I am the most sad to leave here. This town of Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites region is pure happiness.

The mountains (the Italian Alps) are the most majestic we have ever seen and the crystal blue lakes are like glass.

The town itself is described the crown jewel of the Dolomites and gives me cozy Aspen vibes with all the European charm.

It has been refreshing to have cooler temperatures after the heat waves we had in other parts of Italy. The weather feels like fall but the town seems to create the holiday feeling year round.

Our family is in LOVE ❤️

There are not many places that have captured our hearts like Guernsey has.

We love the that a short stroll or drive will lead you to a beautiful bay with crystal clear waters.

Every drive and stop off is genuinely stunning, and there are little cars on the road.

We love the people… so friendly and welcoming. And we have made some truly lovely friends here.

Where have you travelled that you absolutely love and know you will return?

This is me and my best friend!

We have such a special bond, we are truly the best of friends and tell each other everyday!!!

Now that I think of it 🧐 Eloise also told the waitress at the farm yesterday that SHE was her best friend.... and she told a neighboring table in Croatia that her cousin Gigi was her bestie...

and the Marco from the pool in Costa Rica was her BF....and the boy that kicked her the soccer ball one time in Split... oh and the random sculpture in the center of town....also all her best friends! 🤔

I am beginning to think her and I have different definitions of what best friends means....but WE are the bestest friends!

We try to teach Eloise the importance of small acts of kindness and how they go along way.

It was amazing for her to see us on the receiving end of abundant honesty and good will.

As I mentioned, when we arrived to Panama City Panama I realized my wallet was gone. We searched high and low, and thought it fell out in the customs conveyor belt.

We knew there was a chance it could have fallen out in the cab, but less likely, plus we paid in cash and didn’t have the name of the cab company to reach out.

The next morning I received a call that my taxi driver was waiting downstairs and had my wallet.

He obviously knew where he dropped us off, and waited 40 mins downstairs (they had to contact our host and then me) until he could personally hand deliver it to me.

I was floored by his kindness, he had nothing to gain by returning my wallet. Yes, it is the right thing to do, but he could have just as easily turned it into his company and let me worry about it instead of going on a wild goose chase to get it back to me!

It was so kind and reminded me that there are truly selfless people, kind, good hearted people out there! ❤️❤️❤️

PS: ironic side note- yesterday we got in a Uber and hidden in the side door I found another passengers wallet and made sure the Uber driver had it to return to them! 1-what goes around comes around! 2-we all need to do a better job taking care of our sh*t! 🤪

LAST POST ON LAPLAND (although I'm still messing around with reels until I can crack them. Might have to get this 9 year old to do it for me 😂)

Most frequently asked question we had..... what to wear in Lapland??!

For most, it seems to be a fear of the potential extreme cold and not wanting the cold to ruin a once in a lifetime holiday that sparks the question.

I have put ALL of our advice on what to pack for a Lapland holiday with kids in a blog post (link in Bio 👆)

But if there's anything in particular you want to know (or you think there's something I missed), please drop a comment!

Happy Weekend!

The biggest reality check when you think of yourself as a minimalist comes when you try to fit everything you have in your bus into a 3 bedroom apartment.

AD keeneurope What do you do when life returns to normal?

Enjoy it!

And that’s exactly what we have been doing for the last couple of weekends.

We’ve enjoyed meeting up with friends we haven’t seen in a long while, 1st birthday parties and some wonderful walks in the countryside.

The weather has been beautiful and the kids have been well prepared in their new Keen Newport H2 sandals!

We have really been putting these shoes to the test on the beach, on the playground, on country walks and dressing them up for a birthday party!

Here’s what we love about the Newport H2:

⭐️ Quality and sturdy sole meaning they are just as good for long walks and hikes as they are playing on the beach and playground

⭐️ Protects feet and toes with large bumper at the front, great for active kids constantly on the go

⭐️ The Newport H2 are comfy to wear with no socks thanks to a lovely squishy inner sole. They are easy to adjust with the Velcro strap at the top and an ingenious button to adjust the elastic that replaces laces. As a parent I love this part - so easy!

⭐️ Keeps kids feet cool and the quick dry webbing makes them great for spending time in and out of water!

⭐️ Machine washable

There is also 15% on men’s shoes on the website for today only to celebrate Father’s Day!

What do you look for when buying kids shoes?

We absolutely LOVED this off the beaten path adventure in visiting the mouth of the centina river. The blue hole also nicknamed the dragons eye is over 490 feet deep and is intriguingly beautiful, but also slightly eerie.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We tried to visit a few week prior and ended up at the actual river which was also so special, but not our desired destination, so making it here was a dream!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Postscript: If you zoom in this image it is true my daughter does not have pants on. Lets "say" this is due to her playing in the water, and definitely NOT because she tried to potty in the bushes, by herself, and pissed all over her shorts! 👍🏻

MODE OF TRANSPORTATION? 🚗 🚞🚲
.
David and I have been road tripping a lot before Mirabelle came into the world. I have also been backpacking Europe by train.
.
Now as family, we have lived in a campervan for 4 month driving around south of Europe. We have been living in a 4WD for 5 month road tripping in Western and Northern of Australia. And more family road trips are surely to come!
.
But we have also wanted to try other kind of transportation. Now when Mirabelle knows how to bike cycling we are really tempted to have a 3-4 weeks of bike vacation. Or, we are also very keen of trying to live on a boat cruising around. .
.
Have you tried all of them? Which mode of transportation is your favorite!🚗 🚲 🚞 —————————————————

What is your first memory of visiting another country?

Last summer my oldest graduated from elementary school and to celebrate we took a trip to Paris with his best friend and his mom. He had been asking for years to go to Paris and while it seemed crazy we decided to not miss the opportunity to make some memories. I was 19 when I first visited another country and I remember how it changed me. My view on the world expanded beyond this bubble of my community and local and national news. I wanted that for my son -particularly in the weirdo world we live in today.

This picture is of the two of them catching their first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower. I just absolutely love this. I have always loved Paris and to share it with my son was beyond magical. (My son is the ginger on the right).

What was probably just as exciting was to show him our last name, Belanger, etched on the tower. They put the names of all the people that worked on it and Jean-Baptiste Belanger was a mathematician whose work in hydraulic engineering was used in the tower. We haven't been able to trace back any exact ancestral match but it is pretty cool regardless.

I have a zillion flower pictures to share and while I am excited to post those, I was a bit nostalgic today. Nostalgic for the time when we could travel freely and explore. Where my son could see, touch, smell, and savor cultures different than ours. Don't worry, tomorrow will be flowers 🌿🥰

Tell me what your first or favorite memory was of visiting another country!

Just look at the colour of this sea! We had an amazing few days on Iona, swimming in the sea every day!

We stayed at the lovely ionapods which are heated and very conveniently located at the North of the island to get to the beaches, 5 minutes walk from the abbey and right below Dun I, the highest point on Iona.

I didn’t realise how beautiful Iona was until we arrived. But it definitely captured our hearts and we’ll be back one day! 💕

Let’s just forget about the ferry cancellation on the way back and a rather annoying long detour to get home! We made it and I’m pleased that I feel much more capable of taking the kids away on my own. I think that was the first time I’ve driven onto the ferry myself (aside the tiny one to Gigha!).

Which Scottish island would you like to visit?
