On the 24th August, 2026, my summer Europe alps road trip came to an end. I have failed to reflect on this moment. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to do such a cool and amazing experience together with my cat Granada. We got to visit 7 countries on this trip, experiencing some truely amazing park-ups, all whilst being totally immersed within beautiful nature. Although we are so lucky to have had that experience, I have to acknowledge that it was difficult towards the second half of these 81 days. That’s because I began to feel exhaustion from the continuous endless decisions, and the isolation that solo travelling in a van brings. I admittedly struggled a lot with decision fatigue and lack of interaction. I could not do this journey without Granada, who I’m sure is really missing this life. Well, thank you to Fontainebleau for your difficult boulders, the French Alps for incredible views of Mont Blanc, beautiful hikes & wild swims. Thank you Italy for your waterfalls & alpine lakes which were less crowded in the Aosta Valley. Switzerland, you were difficult, but I really loved the safeness and vast amount of mountain hikes & SUP opportunities on your lakes. Liechtenstein was small, but super friendly and charming! The Dolomites in Italy, the most incredible and beautiful place I’ve ever been too. You were so fun for climbing my highest peaks, endless via Ferrata, and good to be vegan in. Slovenia, the place with the most beautiful canyons, gorges and rivers! Austria, and Germany I did not spend much time here, but your alps regions were just as beautiful as the dolomites, it was just difficult how anti van life you were. Thank you Europe and we will hopefully return to winter in your warmer climates #vanlifediaries #travel #alps #eurotrip #vanlife

Not much time spent here to say too much but: German alps had some beautiful lakes, mountains and rivers, but it was NOT van life friendly! Found a free boardwalk to do by a river… Some places have cheap or free parking for vans, we liked one by a lake for 10€ a night. Obviously I got a pretzel from a local bakery! Also found some sandstone, but it was too hot to take climbing seriously… Drive briefly through the Black Forest which was beautiful! Definitely gonna come back for that! #vanlife #travel #germany #alps
