Welcome to Van Diary Europe, your ultimate guide to exploring Europe by motorhome! We are passionate about travel, freedom, and discovery, and we created this blog to share our adventures, tips, and inspirations with fellow lovers of life on wheels.
Who We Are
We are the Scarpatti family, who decided to swap routine for the call of the open road. In 2018, we bought our first motorhome, and since then, Europe has become our backyard. From breathtaking landscapes to historic cities, hidden villages, and scenic roads, every trip is a new story to tell.
Our goal is to show that traveling by motorhome is much more than a mode of transportation – it’s a lifestyle. It’s about freedom, connecting with nature, and creating unforgettable memories.
Why Travel by Motorhome?
Traveling by motorhome is a unique experience. Imagine waking up to the sound of birds in a mountain campsite, having breakfast with a view of a crystal-clear lake, or parking by the sea to watch the sunset. With a motorhome, you take your home wherever you go, without worrying about rigid schedules or hotel reservations.
Additionally, traveling by motorhome is a sustainable way to explore the world. We reduce our environmental impact by minimizing flights and opting for a simpler, more conscious lifestyle. And, of course, it’s an economical way to travel, especially when you know where to park, how to plan routes, and where to find the best motorhome services.
