Between October 2013 and August 2014 we travelled around mainland Europe in a 24 year old motorhome named “Bertha”. We both have a thirst for adventure, so part of our motivation was to satiate that, however we also saw it as a great opportunity to learn about how different cultures approach the concept of community. Our aim was to immerse ourselves within the different cultures, offering our skills and creativity where they could be used, but also taking time to listen and learn. The challenge of a simpler way of life on the road with reduced baggage was (and still is) also massively appealing for us both.
