🌟 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? #vanfamtribe #dublife #volkswagencamper #campervanlife #vanfamtribe #ourtribetravels #vanlifefamily #campervanlife #lifeontheroad #vanlifeuk #vanlifers #homeiswhereyouparkit #homeonwheels #campingessentials #campingwithkids #vanlifewithkids #vwt5camper #campingfamily #vanfamily #vwcamper #vwcampervan

Hello 20k followers 🥳🎈💃 I try and ignore numbers on the gram, but with a fair few followers over these past months, I thought it would be nice to acknowledge this milestone and re-introduce ourselves 👋. Based in the UK's Peak District, we are Jenny (Mum), Jay (Dad), Arthur (9) and Ezra (7) and we have travelled the world as much as we can since the boys were born. We've travelled much of Africa, Asia and Europe, and highlights include: 🇮🇳 living in India for a year 🇳🇵trekking to Poon Hill in the Himalayas 🎒 backpacking Sri Lanka and Thailand 🌍 101 days overlanding sub-Saharan Africa in a Land Rover with roof tents 🇫🇷 6 weeks travelling France in our #mazdabongo 🇲🇦 4 months living and travelling in Morocco If you've been following us for a while, you'll know that we really do maximise our travel time around the boys' schooling and have never seen age as a barrier for taking our kids anywhere. Plus we always have big trip plans up our sleeve, we just can't help it 😅 - we feel that SEAsia is calling us this year 🤞. Adventure travel for us isn't a one off experience, it's a life choice. Whether you've been following us since we moved to India or have joined from recent European travels, thanks for following our little squares of family adventure. Your continued support means I have a job that I love, and I also love being able to inspire and connect with like-minded parents who also want to burst bubbles and show their kids the world. I'd love to know where we were in the world when you first started following us! Lots of love, Jenny x 📷 from our trip to Luxembourg last month.

Give me a van amongst the gum trees 🌿🎶 💕For almost two weeks we’ve been roaming around in Yolo our Apollo, and I feel like I’ve finally got everything in its place and we’ve settled in 🎉. It’s so easy! I mean, I have to cook and do laundry and connect cables and grey water hoses AND empty the toilet but hey, apparently that’s the reality of #vanlife 🤣🤣 What I Iove the most is: 👍🏻being able to move whenever we want to and that everything comes with us - like today, instead of having lunch and then doing the White Sands Walk along the beaches here in Jervis Bay, we just drove there and made lunch and ate it in the bush before we wandered the beaches. Very cool!! 👍🏻The van is COSY! We have heating and it’s so warm and the bed is comfy too (you guys know my back and joints are old-lady-painful and they’ve been great this trip). 👍🏻I filled up the van completely with diesel a few days ago after a week and a half of driving and it cost $67 - nice surprise!! 👍🏻Caravan parks are fun - we’ve met some really nice people... but someone also had a go at me for my slow van parking skills which I believe are bloody good so 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣 Dont worry, I snapped back hahah. 👍🏻The fridge is keeping my bubbles SUPER COLD. #important We’re heading west soon - Emmie now has a fibreglass cast but can’t do much with it - kayaking and water sports are banned so we are going inland. Omg EXCITED! Let us know if you’re around Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Canowindra, Cowra or anywhere nearby! 😍😍😍 apollomotorhomeholidays #Apollopartner

Hello 👋 We've had so many new followers since we started travelling again, so I thought I'd do a little re-introduction as it's been a looooooooong while since the last time I did this 😘 🚐 I'm Jenny, Mum of the Lynn family. I work as a travel blogger (yes, that is actually a real job that earns you money 😜) - I love the flexibility it provides me around our family and the travel opportunities it brings. 🚐 With Jay (hubby) and our two boys (Arthur 7, Ezra 6) we live in the Peak District 🇬🇧. I also run peakdistrictkids - which has become the go-to website for families exploring the UK's oldest national park 🥾 and the website receives over 180k page views per month. 🚐 As a family we love epic adventures. We have lived in India, trekked the Himalayas, and traversed Africa in a Land Rover. 🚐 We jumped on the pandemic VAN-waggon in June '20 and bought our Mazda Bongo camper from eBay for £7k. We were supposed to be taking a family gap year and travelling overland from London to Sydney last year - a trip Jay and I did back in 2007 🙄. But we absolutely love our Bongo; he's part of the family now 🥰. 🚐 We are all Aussie citizens as Jay and I used to live in Sydney. The boys have never even visited, and it's currently the top country they want to travel to. One day... 🚐 I've never liked sea food. And when I decided to become vegetarian over three years ago, it was a huge relief to just say to people that I'm vegetarian, rather than explain I don't like sea food 🙈. Although I still sometimes eat the boys left over fish fingers 🤷‍♀️. 🚐 Oh and we're currently spending the summer travelling around France in our Bongo and having the best time ever 🥰🇫🇷. Right, I think that's enough waffling on about myself 🤣. Big hugs, Jenny x

So this is 'winter' in Spain ☀️ It's perfect hiking weather 👌🥾 Huge thanks to greengirlgetaways for telling me about the superb coastal footpath from Vilanova to Sitges. We were planning to go to Sitges today, but had no idea about the walking route until I saw her message this morning! It's 8km along fantastic rocky cliffs and sandy coves with a regular train whizzing past on the other side. And once we arrived in Sitges - WOWSERS! What a stunner of a town. A train and bus then brought us back to our campsite, where the boys STILL had energy for the jumping pillow 😳. Arthur's fitbit (Xmas pressie) has totalled 29,296 steps today 🤪.

Feeling a bit homesick for our cozy trailer, but glad to be back near these Blue Ridge Mountains. • Alex is in California finishing up a travel nurse contract while I solo parent on the East Coast and kickstart our next big project. We are used to living in such close quarters together so this separation is especially difficult. Looking forward to having our family reunited and enjoying more scenes like this together 😍.

His papa is back!!! Which means matching overalls and zlandbrand hats - because a big helper needs to dress for the job. We are busy, busy, busy over here with an airstream restoration AND a van conversion but I love seeing our driveway packed with fun projects.

THANK YOU: The biggest of thank you to our amazing families that travelled with us through India - Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh - these past 11 DAYS on our INDIA Group Trip. It has been hard to find the words to truly portray how special of a shared adventure it was… But; it was everything we dreamt of and MUCH MORE! We have watched as fears were overcome; bucket-lists were ticked off; friendships formed and families bonds grew stronger. India is a truly humbling country and it feels like a real privelege to have this time to learn and share together. Thank you myfathersbarber sarahclarebrown deidreputt bbq_butcher And THANK YOU INDIA! . . . . #travelfamilies #ourtribetravels #backpackingfamily #worldschoolers #worldschoolfamily #youtubefamily #fulltimefamilies #asiawithkids #southasiawithkids #india #indiawithkids #indiagrouptrip #delhi #fulltimetravelfamilies #rajasthan #jaipur #visitindia #indiareels #indian #jaisalmer #thardesert #camelsafari #camel #agra #tajmahal

Tucking our home into the giant redwood forest and crafting with driftwood collected from the river in the “backyard”. Some things about this lifestyle are incredibly challenging, our lights were flickering from the lack of solar and dead batteries, but we trade a few modern comforts for a lot of magical days.

Happy Wednesday, Guys! I hope you had an eggcellent Easter weekend and enjoying the Easter Break. This Easter, we decided to book a #staycation in North #Devon for the long bank holiday weekend, and we couldn't have picked a better place. TheMoleResort currently has 15 new three- and four-bedroom luxury lodges. We stayed in one of the three-bedroom lodges and were blown away by the beautiful decor and spaciousness. The lodge was modern and extensively equipped for all our needs, including a full kitchen with all the amenities, a hot tub, and even a BBQ outside for alfresco dining. We loved the bi-folding doors that opened onto the full-length patio, making it perfect for entertaining and letting in natural light. Two bedrooms had sliding doors onto the deck, making the lodge feel even more spacious and bright. #TheMoleResort is also perfect for families travelling with children, as each room can easily split into two single beds. We love having our privacy when possible, and the boys loved having their rooms with their beds. Plus, our lodge had an ensuite bathroom with a master and another family bathroom with a shower and a tub. One of the best parts of our stay was the extra activities available at the resort, including an Easter Egg Hunt and an onsite petting zoo hosted by ExmoorZoo. The boys loved both, and we also had access to several different activities on the #HighbullenEstate, including: - Indoor Swimming Pool - Gym and Gym Classes - Tennis And Pickle-ball - Footgolf and Disc Golf - Cycling - Croquet - Football If you want to explore outside the Mole Resort, it's ideally located for easy access to Westward Ho! Beach and Exmoor Zoo, both of which are great options for young and old alike. Overall, we had a fantastic time at The #MoleResort and didn't feel the need to leave the grounds at all. It's the perfect choice for groups, couples, and families looking for a UK countryside staycation. Don't miss out on this gem! You can find more details/ photos of our stay in my recent blog. Link in bio.
