Eastern Europe is great for van life camping! Rules are relaxed, lots of places to camp, and people are cool with outdoor living. Unlike some Western countries (and Western Europe...), Eastern Europe has fewer camping restrictions, so it's easier to find spots and explore without hassle. You can camp freely in rural areas and parks without reservations or fees. Police usually focus on other stuff, so encounters are rare. Camping is a big part of the culture here, especially in summer. Even though wages are lower and countryside areas aren't as famous as cities, Eastern Europe's simple beauty offers a peaceful experience for van life lovers who want to go off the beaten path. :)

Hey everyone! It's been a while! We've really missed hanging out with you each week :( A lot has been going on behind the scenes (both with travel & at the workshop!) & we needed to step back from videos. 2024 is a MASSIVE year for us, and will include not only a very special product launch (that will also be road legal!) but also an international transition abroad!!! YAHOOO! While we likely won't have weekly videos for you until the summer months, we DO have a few big ones on the horizon, so make sure to hit the notifications to not miss it! You all are the BEST!

@ladiandmargaret 2 ай бұрын

We didn’t do the thermals this time around, but they are on our radar now! We still haven’t technically “announced” details about the transition just because the date has fluctuated for shipping, but I (Margaret) am very ready to return to the states. I originally left 7 years ago only with the intention of traveling full time, never with the intention of permanently living somewhere else. As much as I love having a base here (and close to Ladi’s fam!) I miss my friends, family, and culture. Lucky for me Ladi LOVES the USA, so we’re working on his visa situation and keeping our fingers crossed that it goes smooth so we can ship our van across the ocean!

I know that you guys are speaking to an audience that generally has no clue about east European countries but you have given Hungary a little bit more credit from the start. It is a choice. As with every country I also traveled to Hungary before completely open-minded. It is amazing. The people are nice, the weather is nice, the food is good and one does not always have to look over one's shoulder to see if you are safe..... You are. I much rather go to east European countries than any other (North-western) European countries or any other "western" country. But that is just me and I am considered to be stupid so don't read my post. Oh damn, you did.... Sorry.

@ladiandmargaret 2 ай бұрын

Hungary is fabulous:) You’re so right that the safety aspect is completely under-rated. I have this same feeling in a lot of Slovak countries, too. Although Eastern Europe is not very shiny, new, and overly “modern”, people are hard-working, kind, and super supportive of visitors (especially in places where the visitors are few and far between!)

@@ladiandmargaret Furthermore, to my opinion, East-European people have a higher level of moral standards. Sure enough these countries and the people have their flaws too but while my country sinks deep into Liberal exuberances, these countries tend to stick more to their original moral values. Especially Hungary and Serbia. The more I see my country (the Netherlands) slip out of control, the more I appreciate the common sense of these countries.
