Brief history of our trip
We all have a starting point
An idea that was born from the need, above all, to improve our time in the world (no less important), after traveling so much throughout Europe and having lived in more than 5 countries, we decided to have our land to put them in context, after The misfortune of the covid that contracted the planet, we had the great idea like so many, of how to change our lives, so after a long preparation and meditation on the matter we decided, how to travel, live and work (digital nomads we became), We got to work and the goal we set for ourselves was to find land with enough water, to be able to cultivate and have our food and spiritual independence, our paradise!, a hectare with a view in a valley within a forest with fruit trees , figs, walnuts, apple pear, 60 ancient olive trees, where the first year was an experiment, the big question: how to make our olive oil? many attempts, until we managed to produce about 50 liters of olive juice extract!, learning how to do cold extraction, all a great experience, due to things in life we found while we were clearing the land, spring water fountain.for more! It was breathed from all angles, peace and silence that was healing us and filling us with thoughts of joy, rejoicing, but above all, a lot of love, (when you achieve a difficult dream the sensation is pleasant.) We dedicated all that time to cultivating the land , having our pets and also chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, bees, goats, quails, eagles and all the endemic animals that always came closer and closer, wild boars, squirrels, rabbits, partridges. , snakes and many that we do not know.
after 4 years working the land, raising animals, feeding on solar energy and the land, working the
land, planting to eat, collecting everything from fruits to firewood to heat ourselves, using water, drinking water from our spring on our land If we arrive Total self-sufficiency, we changed to a motorhome+caravan and a dream to achieve: traveling, working and living, I think it is the dream of many, but in these times, like the two warriors that we are, standing on the ground. and without hesitation, we get to work, we dedicate ourselves body and soul, and today we are that mirror in which we reflect ourselves every day. We want to be a source of inspiration, above all, to help lose that fear and give a boost to everyone who can do it, or wants to, or whoever proposes it. I share and ratify a very rhetorical and ancient concept. !,,, The key is the sacrifice you will put into your dreams!

European Tour 2024
The route along the entire Atlantic coast towards La Coruña, thus traveling along the entire coast of the Bay of Biscay to San Sebastian, the easternmost tip of Spain.

After spending long days in wonderful places along that coast, we headed towards
Barcelona along the A-8 border road between Spain and France, always looking for the heat,
remembering that November is cold.
Once you arrive in Civitavecchia directly towards a reserved area in Rome for caravans, a short visit to the
Eternal City and then towards Naples.
From Rome to Naples Vesubio
From Naples to Sicily Etna
From Sicily to Bari port
From Port of Bari to Greece
From Greece we return to Rome to fix our machine that trains our caravan: it's time for good maintenance
From Rome to Firenze
After a change in the amortization and a replacement of worn parts and maintenance, we return to the road, 300 km towards Firenze (after we arrived the machine did not turn on again!), so we called the tow truck and went directly to the mechanic again
After all, we were lucky not to have broken down on the highway or God knows where, we were stranded in a factory where food made and prepared by them is consumed, a nice place where the owner lets you park for free, once you have eaten in his agriturismo! ,,with sanitary and running service ($5), and well here we are waiting for our machine to call us,,,they are making me worry,,,,
Here we are, after having crossed Ferrara, we find ourselves in Chioggia (po delta area), a beautiful nature reserve,Venice,heading towards Croatia.
From Croatia to Hungary
A very poor and very short experience in Croatia! Caravan drivers are not welcome in Croatia!
Everything is a problem where to park. If you park somewhere outside the parking lots where they
have them, they will let you sleep. Then they will arrive around 7. in the morning and they will fine
you, we were there for 2 days and we had enough!,,, address (balaton) lake in Hungary
