Several times have we tried to see bears in the wild. In Serbia, for instance, we sat in a photo hide for hours and in other countries we walked kilometres through bear territory. But each time we had to leave without success! This time, in the high mountains of the Slovakian Tatras, it was supposed to be different. One of the wildest parts of Europe offers some fantastic chances to see these giants in their natural habitat, and much more!
In February we headed towards Italy, a country with low priority on our imaginary travel list. Unjustifiably, as we had to learn on this road trip through the lesser known Abruzzo mountains. This incredible region left us speechless and longing for more of this diverse country. Wild animals, impressive mountainscapes and rustic villages. This all awaited us from an area we never heard of before!
Namibia, one of the driest countries in the world, marked by infinite width, staggering landscapes, and untamed wildlife. The best way to explore this vast country is with your own car and a (rooftop) tent. In September 2019, Anskar and I did a 3-weeks self-driving camping trip through Namibia and spent the nights at some of the most epic and remote campsites we’ve ever been to.
The world’s hottest continent was never a destination on the top of my travel list. Lea however had already spent over a year in different parts of the continent and her biggest wish was to show me the magic of Africa. After some research and discussions, we decided that Namibia will be our final choice. According to our research it had the best mix of staggering landscapes and untamed wildlife. After some intensive planning our journey with CU | Camper began. And what a journey it was!
