Welcome to our hub of practical advice, family-tested tips, and tried-and-true resources for getting outdoors — whether you’re planning a full-on European road trip, a family camping weekend, or a solo hiking mission. Below, you'll find our best ideas, gear picks, and planning tools to help make your next adventure smoother, cheaper, and more memorable.
🏨 Travel Planning & Booking Tools
- Skyscanner – Our go-to for cheap flights across Europe (especially handy for solo hikes).
- GetYourGuide – Great for booking attractions in advance, especially skip-the-line tickets. See Our Recommended Tours
- Eurocamp – Excellent for budget-friendly family holiday parks in Europe (many with pools & activities!)
- Google Maps + Offline Maps – Essential for navigation, especially when data is spotty.
- Rome2Rio – Use this to check all transport options between places.
🥢 Budget Tips We Swear By
- Pack snacks – Eating out with a family of 6 gets expensive. Local bakeries & supermarkets are your best friend.
- Booking.com filters – Look for free parking, kitchen facilities, and family rooms.
- Public transport passes – Places like Luxembourg offer free public transport — always worth checking.
- City outskirts stays – Park free and take a bus/train in. Big savings + less stress.
⛺ Family Adventures
- Our kids love outdoor pools with slides — waterparks in Germany are next level.
- Campsites on lakes (like Lake Levico in Trento) = non-stop activities.
- Hiking is way more fun with a goal (like a mountaintop café or castle ruin!).

🌺 Solo Adventures & Wild Escapes
- Lightweight gear matters — check our Gear We Use
- Power banks (like the VEGER 30,000mAh) keep you going off-grid
- Offline GPS apps + preloaded routes = peace of mind
- Always leave your route with someone you trust
We’ll be sharing more from our solo missions soon — stay tuned.
