vanlife

Sometimes I want to disappear from everyday life, away from tasks and obligations, somewhere far away... Sometimes we manage to escape in our van for a couple of weeks. Our van is not a real camper, but it has everything we really need. To be honest, we don't need much for everyday living. I hope that one day we will be able to travel for a couple of months or even a year, but until then we take advantage of short vacations.

Včasih se mi zdi, da bi izginila in vsakdanjega življenja, proč od nalog in obveznosti, nekam daleč stran... In včasih nama to uspe, da se za par tednov odpeljeva z najinim kombijem. To ni pravi avtodom, vendar ima vse, kar nujno potrebujeva. Če sva čisto iskrena, za življenje sploh ne potrebujeva veliko. Upam, da bova nekoč lahko odpotovala za par mesecev ali celo leto, do takrat pa izkoristiva lepe dneve in krajše dopuste.

Living in a van means some adjustments in terms of cooking, showering... It's certainly not as comfortable as a hotel room or apartment, but it allows freedom, contact with nature. For me, it's always a pleasure to sleep somewhere outside, under the stars and wake up in the middle of a meadow or by the seaside.

Življenje v kombiju pomeni nekaj prilagoditev glede kuhanja, tuširanja... Zagotovo ni tako udobno kot hotelska soba ali apartma, vendar omogoča neko svobodo, stik z naravo. Zame je vedno užitek spati nekje zunaj, pod zvezdicami in se zbuditi sredi travnika ali ob morju.

Our van has a comfortable bed, and a place where we can cook. A few years ago, we traveled with a small van and three children, and we pitched a small tent next to the van every night. We traveled through Italy, all the way to Sicily, southern Germany, Romania, Montenegro. I think our kids really liked it. All three remember various adventures, and absolutely no one ever comments that such vacations were boring.

Najin kombi ima prostor za udobno ležišče, v njem lahko skuhava. Še nekaj let nazaj smo potovali z majhnim kombijem in tremi otroki, poleg kombija smo vsak večer postavljali še majhen šotor. Prepotovali smo Italijo, vse do Sicilije, južno Nemčijo, Romunijo, Črno goro. Mislim, da je bilo najinim mulcem to zelo všeč. Vsi trije se spominjajo raznih dogodivščin in čisto nikoli nihče ne pripomni, da so bile take počitnice dolgočasne.
