We Need To Find a Beach! (Van Life SWEDEN)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Our motorhome journey through Scandinavia continues in Sweden and we leave Kåseberga in search for some beach time. Sandhammaren and surrounds are well known for it's long stretches of powdery white sand beaches and we were way overdue for a dip. However, the sheer volume of holiday makers and lack of parking saw us abandon our plan and we continued further along the coast to the small harbor town of Skillinge, from where we could cycle back to one of the closer sections of beach. With bad weather forecast along the south coast we then cut across back to the west coast and found ourselves in Ängelholm - where although a storm was brewing, a decent onshore wind provided for a quick kite surfing session!
ABOUT US:
Hi! We're Andre & Lisa! Full time travelers and nomads since 2018.
This was not an overnight decision. It was a goal we worked towards for 2 decades. We have always prioritized travel as a way to satisfy our most basic curiosity - to depart from regular life into something new, even if only briefly, before returning to ‘normality’. Normality, however, is subjective and when you travel to unfamiliar places, you lose your grounding, your bearings - it challenges everything you consider ‘normal’ about life. Everything is unordinary. Everything is important. Everything requires your attention. You understand that because you have no home, every place can equally be your home. More importantly, time is of the essence. You can find our blog at www.wewillnomad.com where we post regularly about the destinations we visit along with travel tips and what we spend on travelling.

Höör means flax, there was a lot of flax feelds in heaven blue colors in old time!🦋🕊🇸🇪
That's very interesting - thank you!
Oh Lisa such little faith... Andre will catch fish... hahaha!
Lisa says we're not leaving Norway until a fish is caught 😂
You guys are going to have to prove me wrong... because it's not looking very good so far! 🤔
I love when you guys do these laid back videos and the countryside is so scenic. And thanks for showing us everyday pricing. Good to see the ups and downs but overall I still think Sweden is ideal for this form of traveling (yes, I've been aware for a while of their laws about free-camping)
Sweden is brilliant but the south and west coast can get very busy over the peak season. We actually found the marina parkings in Sweden to be great value as alternative. Falsterbo was a good example.
@@WeWillNomad yes, I would love to do the southwest but mostly the 3 main islands (I think Stockholm would be best done backpacking - I've looked into that a bit). But I'd also be quite interested in the northern part, especially as a cheaper alternative route to driving all the way up Norway then all the way back again over similar route (although I suppose car ferry is another alternative but 🤑)🤷♀️
It's just SO far to get up north that flying might be the best. Apparently driving through Finland is the easiest (flattest) but also most boring. We still have to figure out how we'll get all the way up north... one day! But the south of Sweden has a lot going for it in our opinion 😊
@@WeWillNomad yes but I also hear Finland more expensive than Sweden. I think the Sweden option has a lot going for it. Especially if your vehicle is fuel efficient
❤
So glad you found the beach🤩but your swim was definitely the high light 🤭 3 minutes😂
Mine was the pastries😋
We always enjoy your adventures🤩🤩
Those darned pastries! Just when you think it's impossible for us to eat more of them 😂
Hello! What do you do for phone and internet in all the different countries?
Hi! Yes, that is an ongoing challenge to be honest 😄 We each need a SIM for our cellphones to stay connected and we also need a SIM for data in our van to run our hotspot and security cameras. What will suit you might depend entirely on your country of residence, the destination country , the duration of your stay in a certain country and whether your current (home) provider offer meaningful roaming options. We usually try to get a at least one local SIM for data when we'll be in a country for a while and it's affordable enough to justify - which we use in our wifi router in the van. So far best options for us in Europe has been: Spain (Vodafone & MoviStar - around 35-70Gb for Eur20 p/m), Portugal (MEO - unlimited data 1Eur per day), France (Free Mobile - 210Gb for Eur20 p/m). We used our French Free Mobile SIM to roam in countries like Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway as it includes 25Gb for roaming. Unfortunately the Free mobile SIM can only be recharged once per month so if the data is out you either have to pay per Gb or stop using it. What we do is supplement it with an extra Italian SIM (VERY Mobile) which gives us 10Gb roaming in EU for Eur8 - but we can keep recharging it when out. We also each use dual SIM cellphones in which we each have an Italian VERY Mobile SIM to be able to make local calls and have data on our cellphones. We usually can find a the odd free to use wifi in places for uploading videos which conserves data. If we use data like there's no care in the world (streaming video & music, upload to RUclips & general use) we easily use around 100gb per month. When we're in places like Scandinavia it will come down to around 1Gb per day as we cut out some non-essential use. The new Starlink mobile seems like an interesting solution for data in the van - but at Eur124 p/m plus fitment of Eur600 it's not quite a fit for us. We can also just take our mobile router with us whether we're in the van or not. If you're from the US you can also look at the Google Fi project.
Thank you! Super helpful answer. It’s tricky hey, we’re from Australia and hoping to do a trip similar to yours next year. I keep thinking how do you get around the internet situation country to country.
You're very welcome! Our best advice (as things are at the moment) is to make sure you have an unlocked dual sim phone (if you need to keep your home sim active) and try to get the Free Mobile Sim in France asap mobile.free.fr/fiche-forfait-free. The have self-service kiosks all over and it's 10 Eur for the SIM then 20 Eur per month which gives you phone calls and data (210Gb in France & 25Gb outside) -valid pretty much all over the world. You don't need to be a resident or even show a passport. Perhaps in a year from now there will be something else! All the best with planning your trip!
@@WeWillNomad interesting. I have 100gb on my plan that I share with my parents who don't have WiFi and even when I didn't have WiFi either (for several months) we still couldn't use that much (but we're not uploading RUclips videos).
I assume you've looked into e-SIMs? My understanding is they can cover several regions. Although if you're going to be in one country for an extended period I suppose it makes sense to find a plan that maximises value for that period of time?
