In the first year living a motor home we went from Milan to NordKapp a trip that took us 8 months. When we tell the stories there are some really common questions that will always surface. Here we try to address all the questions.

Why North Cape❓

Well, thanks for the question! 🤷🏻‍♂️ To be honest, there were no particular reasons that made us choose North Cape, but it starts with a funny story.

When we were looking for a camper, the guy who sold us the camper said that he had visited the North Cape. Enjoying my ignorance I said — “Oh cool” .. but I didn’t know exactly what he meant with “Capo Nord”.

At home, I tried to figure it out, and when I saw on the map that it was the end of the road that goes most northern I thought — “Umm this is interesting, why not?”

Having a goal as a guiding star is always a good approach. Once that is defined, things will start to unfold almost automatically, giving a “shape” to the plan.

How did you planned for that❓

We didn’t do a comprehensive plan – it was more like an iterative approach plan, attack, adapt.

How do you find places to stay❓

We use an app called park4night. And no they are not paying us for that.
