Reality of van life in Norway - not what you think...

⬇️ Get my travel guide here ⬇️

Let's get back to showing you what van life in Norway is really about. The highs, the lows, ups and downs. This roadtrip was at times unbearable for us in our tiny VW T3 camper van. A summer with more rainy, gloomy days than days with sun. Feeling discouraged, we ended up almost giving up on the entire idea of being limited by the tiny space in our van. Luckily, along the road we met up with friends and suddenly the entire mood shifted. Hopefully, you can discover a thing or two of what to expect if you choose to visit Norway. And remember to carry on even though some days are best spent doing anything but being outside enjoying the nature Norway have to offer.

I saw your car driving on the highway and I saw your YouTube on the back of your car and it took me here im amazed of your videoes!

Almost 66, your videos have inspired me. I am saving up my US $$s to rent one of the VW vans out in Lofoton. Maybe next year. Being of Finnish-Swedish-Scottish descent and living on the North Coast of California, I savor clouds and rain over heat!

I noticed that you guys also hiked Knutshøe (I saw the last frame in this video. Am I correct?). Where is that video? 😁Watched at least 3 videos today already even though I live in Norway. Excellent videos and Love you people

It can be challenging specially in a small Van I can tell 🙈🙈, nice to see the neighbor Island on YouTube, its still on my list I dropped Senja last summer but in couple of days I will be there. Enjoy the summer Simon.

My 1991 VW Multi-Van Westfalia has been away for 3.5 years now with a tiny shop that is fixing all the rust and repainting. Yes. 3.5 years. It should be coming back to me in August at last. I have been so busy with work that I just let them keep it all this time to get the work done. I so look forward to having adventures in it this Fall. Thanks for the beautiful scenery.

Such a joy to see a new video from you while scrolling through YouTube this evening! Thank you!

This episode was saving a boring day .thank you . Amazing as always even in bad weather .

[guidomennens]

First cup of coffee in the morning and a new video after a long time. Again beautiful ! You certainly made my day.

I took time out from working for 2 years and experienced vanlife. Bad weather days made me feel cosy inside the van and having plenty of supplies and entertainment. I doubt that I would feel the same though, being in such a beautiful place and wanting to make the most of it with the time available. Amazing quality video, whatever the weather.

Without a doubt, the best filmed & produced van content I’ve ever seen! That sunset view was outstanding 😁

[Toni.S.]

Right now I'm watching your videos in my vw t3 Wesfalia in the peace of nature....perfect. Watching these videos, I also got more excited about Norway and luckily in August I too get to tour Northern Norway with my vw t3 ❤️

[richardsayer]
