  • Hi, I am Jennifer, a #solowomantraveler from Germany, travelling Europe in my newly converted #microcamper D'Artagnan, a #fiatdoblo maxi. This is my first tour, doing #vanlifefrance and spending the night alone in a secluded and beautiful French campsite. Come along if you are interested. I will also give a full #vantour . Toilet? Heating? Power? Water? All of it is included. I will show you how cosy #vanlife can be.
    P.S.: So many times there are spelling mistakes in my videos which I only see after the upload when I can watch it in a bigger format. Since I am travelling, I do all my editing on the little phone, so it may escape my notice... Here, in the last part, Madame is obviously not taking care of a spray cat but of a stray cat... and life with an f , not a v. Apologies... filming and editing while travelling is always a compromise...

    Morning Jennifer. 😄Lovely to see you all packed and on the road to warmer climes again. D'Artagnan is truly very impressive and that mattress you have looks really so comfortable! You and your husband have done a fabulous job. A lovely and welcoming spot to overnight too. Drive safely and catch you next time.

    Hi Jenny,
    What a beautiful idyllic place to stay, where you are at one with nature.
    Love the ducks on the pond, you won’t need alarm clock to wake you .
    When you have the ducks quacking away on a morning.😂
    The croissants look delicious and crispy, always so nice to have breakfast done for you.
    I love that when I’m away. ( no washing up either 😆)
    D’Artagnon looks fantastic, so cozy.
    You and your hubby have thought of everything, you have planned it all very well.
    The cat was so friendly, it actually look quite a big cat.
    It’s very well looked after.
    Thank you for the lovely video Jenny, looking forward to your next one.
    Take care, love to you.💕x

      Thank you so much Debbie. I have had fully packed days this week, travelling, exploring and filming... so much to see, such amazing places on my way to the new housesit. Don't be confused please, if tomorrow, a video with the same thumbnail but a German title will appear, I was asked in the past if I could make my videos in German, so this is, what it is. I will always do my videos in English but if it is worth it, I may take the effort of doing German versions, as well ...
      Much love to you and your family ❤️

    What a lovely video! Thank you for giving us a tour of your beautiful van-it's wonderful and so cozy. As soon as I saw those cushion covers, I was transported back to my youth when I used to embroider similar covers. If it's convenient, could you possibly film a close-up of the covers next time you’re filming inside? Decorating the roof with nature is such a lovely idea!

    Hi Jenny. What a great spot. I thought you drove off into the wilds at first after showing the house. I didn't realise it was just down the slope to the pond, still in the same grounds. Very pretty. It can be quite scary for a single woman it was somewhere wilder, no?
    You like to go south for the winter I see. Im the opposite. I like it colder.😃Still very mild here and as I hike four times a week I'd rather have frost and snow than all the mud. Wish it would get colder so I can wear coats again, and not sweat on my hikes. But Im glad for you that you are heading for warmer places.
    Drive safely ❤️

      Good morning Lyndon. I can follow you temperaturewise... Since I arrived at the mediterranean, I miss the crispy cold mornings in my van. I made the mistake of eating lunch in the sunshine at about 23 degrees and felt pretty bad afterwards , had to rest in the shade a bit. Unfortunately, with my lung condition, neither too hot nor too cold is doing me any good, and during the cold season, the danger of Covid is increasing as well, unfortunately... I think the South for winter will have the best temperatures for my condition... it is a test though, since it is my first winter travelling...
      In my old life, I was working at the horse stables everyday and certainly preferred icy weather to the rain and mud as well...
      Hope, the frost will come soon for you, Lyndon. Lot's of love from Sète. ❤️

      Oh no chance of even frost anytime soon. Last 'winter' we only had less than a week of frost (January) and zero snow. Im thinking of camping in Scotland over Christmas if it shows there.
      Take care in the sun and higher temps.

      @@jenniferk6632 Ha thanks for the offer. I don't get cold though. I have a good sleeping bag and clothing. When we had the last very cold and snowy spell (February 2018) I had one night in just a hammock and a tarpaulin cover and even that was ok. Best thing about snow camping is zero mud and zero bugs/insects. And plenty of snow to turn into water, so you don't have to carry water supply. 😁
      You're far better off sticking to your van though of course. ❤️

      I have tried several times. Loui, the white one hates driving and he has constantly been whining in the car plus, he really needs space to move around and didn't feel comfortable at all. Tobi used to be a very traumatised street dog when we got him. I took him along several times trying to get him used to travelling and he was fine in the car itself but so scared whenever we arrived at a new place, tail tucked behind his legs, ducked down. He loves his home and his routines and only feels safe there... I really was devestated but had to accept that both are much happier staying home with the rest of the family... 😢. That is how I started doing housesits inbetween vanlife. I love each housesit pet because I miss my pets when I am travelling...
