ICELAND in a camper van
It has long been a dream of mine to sleep on the road. I love going with no plan, having everything I need with me but nothing more. I’ve done plenty of traveling, camping, touring but I had never before gone on a roadtrip in a vehicle we could actually sleep in.
Iceland is incredibly safe, beautiful, sparsely populated and truly the perfect spot for this kind of adventure. I had romantic dreams of pulling a car up in front of a vista and tucking myself in over cliff faces and ocean views. Thanks to Affordable Campers, that is exactly what happened.

7 travel tips to stay healthy anywhere in the world
Hola de Antigua, Guatemala! On a whim I decided on a short city break; a vacation from Jungle/Beach life in Costa Rica where I could actually brush through my hair, take a hot water shower and wear makeup without it melting off of my face. Sometimes you just need to girl out and doll up. […]
REASONS TO LOVE PORTUGAL: CHARM, CULTURE, HISTORY
Portugal, what a place! For some reason visiting Portugal never made it to my travel wish list. Maybe because it’s not the most popular stop on the classic western Europe pub/bar crawl many Canadians take in their 20’s. Or maybe because when I is take my very first backpacking trip in Europe I wasn’t surfing back then. […]
ADVENTURES IN MAINE
We set out on our Northeastern adventure, headed to chase surf, visit friends and whale watch in the maritime provinces of Canada. The drive was far and long so I looked at a map to see what might be directly between Montreal and Nova Scotia: The great state of Maine. As a child I spent all […]
