What to pack to travel the world in a camper van?
Your life in 5 meters x 2 meters for living and travelling.
Since 2014 we are travelling with our house on wheels, taking with us what is necessary, what we really need. The thousands of memories and experiences not take up much in our van “La Furiosa”
Packing for a road trip was not an easy task. Gradually we realized that half of what you think you need is what you’ll use.
Here you will find all the baggage that we are carrying with us in our nomada life.
