In 2015 we travelled Around Europe for a whole year with the motorhome. What a trip! Every day a new free day dedicated to adventure... Now we are back in the houseboat and go to work every day. So what will this travel blog be about? Well, of course we will continue travelling...! Here are our travel plans for 2016.

ShareMany shorter trips
No, we can't go travelling for a whole year again, at least not right now. We have to work a bit and pay rent and stuff like that, you know. Instead, the plan is that there will be many shorter trips. We started with the trip to Turku archipelago and the travel fair Matka in Helsinki in January. Ahead of us, we have a planned trip to Budapest in June.
We are also planning several other short flights to exciting destinations in Europe. And, of course, we'll be doing a lot of travelling with the motorhome, both inside and outside the country. We will tell you as soon as the plans are in place!
Fairs and other fun
In the near future there will be visits to various travel fairs, which we will report on. We will go both at Greece Panorama in Globen on Saturday and at Caravan Stockholm in Kistamässan next weekend. Do not forget to shout if you see us! During the year there will certainly be more fairs, and we have some exciting plans for Elmia Husvagn Husbil in September.
In July we are thinking of participating in the TBEX Europe, the big European meeting for travel bloggers, which happens to take place in Stockholm this year. In August we are invited to a big wedding, where we have also been hired as wedding photographers. So yes, a lot of exciting things will happen during the year. Hope you follow along!
Do you have any trips or other exciting things planned for 2016?

What fun with various small trips and fairs! And what a great job with the wedding photography!
See you on the Budapest trip as I said. 🙂 I have no NY trip planned right now (feels strange) but on the other hand, there will be a long weekend in Rome in April.
Every year we also make a trip, the whole family. The destination is not decided yet but we are very keen on Corsica, thanks to you! We will also visit Stora Karlsö this summer.

Lisa & life on the bright side says:
It is not very much decided but something in late March/early April, either Dubai or Tenerife.
London+Cornwall in May.
Longer trip at Christmas, Bali or the Philippines.
And I'm hoping for a little something in between.

Hello!
Of course I'm following along. Have just started writing a travel blog myself, it would be nice if you looked in.

Anna, so much fun that we will go to Budapest together! It's also great that we inspired you to visit Corsica. Click on "Travel Tips" in the menu and choose "Corsica" if you want more specific tips on the island!
Lisa, interesting to see what it will be. Cornwall sounds exciting! And also Bali or the Philippines of course! 🙂
Toristen, how fun that you started a travel blog! I peeked in quickly from my mobile phone and it looks nice! Will check more carefully when I'm at home at the computer 😉

Renate's travels says:
So much cool stuff! Such travel fairs sound very interesting!
I have many plans, but only one trip booked so far. It will be a trip to Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova in May! 😀
But still aiming to hopefully get to Cuba in the spring... The tickets are just so expensive!

Helga says:
We will visit our daughter in Vienna in May. She has an exchange semester in her studies at Uppsala University. I will also take a charter trip after that.
Then I'm travelling most of the time in my job too 😉.

Aila, what fun!!! Should we maybe decide to meet somewhere when we find each other? Or feel free to email the phone number to us so we can text each other! 🙂
Lennart, what fun!!! 🙂
Renates Reiser, how exciting about Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova! Where in Ukraine are you going? We have been there three times, two of which in Kiev, but it is quite a few years ago now... Cuba also sounds exciting! 🙂
Helga, how fun it sounds to visit Vienna! Then maybe daughter Jan show around a bit too? 🙂
Lina, but what fun! Hope to see you then! 🙂

There is an interesting little country in the south-west of the UK, bordering England, hi,hi! Something to remember!!!
Take care!

Yes, there will probably be a small trip for us too! Within the 38-mile radius! 😉 Or to the Azores anyway? you never know!
Maybe you will come here again? Asa

Mr Steve says:
Our first trip abroad after my stroke was to Budapest in 2003. A savings trip. I sometimes find it difficult to understand how we managed that trip, as I was quite frail at the time. However, the trip went well and was still a memorable experience, but we haven't travelled for many years now. The last one went to Spain in 2005.
Always something new going on for you. Now you can also add wedding photographer to your CV.
Of course I'll be joining you on your upcoming adventures.

Untangling says:
What an exciting year of travelling in 2016. We look forward to following you. We have not had summer holidays yet so we have just bought plane tickets where we land in Chicago and will end up in San Francisco where we go home from. The route is not clear but we are very much looking forward to a 5 week road trip in the USA where we will go at the end of March.
10 February 2016 - 15:04
admin says:
Steve, let's see if we can report on something from Budapest that you recognise! 😉 And yes, wedding photography is a new addition to my CV 😉.
BP, what fun if we meet at Caravan! 🙂
Lena in Wales, hehe, I think I know what you mean 😉 Would love to go there! 🙂
Åsa, I missed the part about the 38-mile radius... why 38 miles...? And who knows where we end up 😉
Ontripdk, it sounds exciting with a road trip in the USA!!!! 🙂

Annika says:
You really have a lot planned. That's great.
I will be cruising soon, then it will actually be Los Angeles and San Francisco in late summer. I am going home for a while too, to Sthlm and then there will also be a trip to Ostrobothnia.
Maybe, maybe we have a house by the sea this year as well. Who knows? nothing decided there yet.
But you really have a lot of fun going on!

Some weekends booked and a longer trip to Macedonia and Italy.
But if I don't see you before, I'll see you in Budapest 🙂 .

Ditte says:
There's a lot going on, and it sounds like a lot of fun.
We have some travel plans in addition to the commuting trips to the Spanish summer cottage and with trips within Spain. Cuba attracts and South Africa and of course Corsica again. We have not seen Wales so it is also starting to be time.
But one thing at a time.
I would have liked to visit the Greek fair if we were at home. Have been in Greece, both on the mainland and the islands, boating for several summers, but it would still have been fun to visit the fair.
Hope to hear from you.

Rantamor on the retina says:
It's great to hear that you're planning your trips.
I think your motorhome journeys are exciting.
We have been planning a trip to Lofoten where we absolutely want to go because we really fell in love with Northern Norway last year on our trip there.
Then we want Gotland in June.
But right now I just want an answer from my doctor so I know if there will be any trips this summer, but we are planning....

Krisztina says:
What will you do in Budapest? We are thinking of going there in May for a weekend, I speak Hungarian so it's easy with the language and I like the city and the food ??. In the summer it will be Italy for us.
10 February 2016 - 18:56
Åsa says:
We haven't travelled more than 100 miles from home since we moved here. On our two longest trips, we travelled about 37.5 miles from home. (:

Annika, yes, and there will probably be more, so it will certainly be an eventful year! It sounds like you have nice things going on too. Feel free to look past if you are in the hooks on occasion! 🙂
Discovering the Planet, so glad you're going to Budapest too! We are looking forward to that trip 🙂
Ditte, what a lot of interesting things you have going on! Cuba and South Africa sound very exciting! And of course we will report from the fair on Saturday!
Rantamor on Näthinnan, Lofoten sounds wonderful and Gotland is also fantastic! Really hope that all messages are only positive and good. Keeping all fingers and toes!
Deciree, oh then we will keep an eye out for you on Saturday (and Kjell's shirt ;))! It would be great fun to see you in the end!
Eva and Peter, thank you so much!!! 🙂 So, we know that Peter is super excited, but when does it really start...???? Is it not in March?
Krisztina, we are going there on a blogging trip together with other bloggers for a few days. Don't really know the programme yet, but it will be exciting! Understand that it is extra smooth when you know Hungarian! We also liked the food a lot the last time we were there 🙂.
Åsa, haha, thanks for the explanation! 🙂

Renate's travels says:
Ukraine seems very exciting! I've never really wanted to go before, so I'm glad it's finally time this year 🙂 I'm first going to Kiev (+ day trip to Chernobyl), then Lviv, then the Carpathians, Chernivtsi and Kamianets-Podilskyi. Just have to start learning the Cyrillic letters :p

Renate, oh how wonderfully exciting that sounds! As I said, we have been a lot in Kiev (restaurants, shopping, the cave monastery in Lavra etc.), but we have not seen much else of Ukraine. Well, we were in Odessa, Simferopol and Yalta.... but that's not even Ukraine anymore...? Hope you have a great trip and I look forward to reading reports! As I said, it has been a long time since we were there, but here we have collected some travel tips from our Ukraine trips:

Of course I follow :-). Fun with wedding photos. I myself leave the system camera at home when I travel, mostly photographing handball with it. Have made a spontaneous trip to Wroclaw (European Handball Championships) this year..in the pipeline London in April (see ELO at O2), Cologne end of May Champions League handball and asparagus week, New York June (Cure at MSG and Swedish midsummer in Battery park). Then it will probably be a long weekend in Gdandk/Sopot in July..recently saw that Kraftwerk is playing there..well, the autumn is still completely unplanned... Hong Kong attracts..and then it will probably be New York or another city in the US to see the SoYouThinkYouCanDance tour for the fifth year in a row...

Marina says:
Short trips are actually something that is very cosy. During the time "over here" we have had a fairly large number of such trips and the big difference is that from here even sun and beach trips are usually short trips. While the variant from Sweden usually goes to big cities, which is a wonderful way to take a short holiday in Europe. Imagine how many things I have left to look forward to when I move back. What the coming year has to offer, we don't really know, so far we have had time to visit Cannes and Dubai. Bali is next on the list where I'm going this weekend, then we'll see... That with travel fairs seems to be great fun, maybe something to aim for eventually.

Firstly, Peter's wedding picture is magnificent. Second, I wonder: Have you taken home the first place as best travel blogger? If so, a HUGE congratulations!

Frank, it's so exciting and fun with your journey! And glad we could contribute with some inspiration! Of course, I plan to follow you on the blog. Feel free to remind me exactly when you are going to leave, it would be fun to write a few lines about your trip here on the blog. I'm sure there are more people who want to follow!
Evy, oh what fun with such a great interest in handball 🙂 Gdandsk and Sopot we like, even though it has been without Kraftwerk when we have been there 😉 Hong Kong also sounds exciting. And wow, I guess that tour is good then!!!? Very exciting going on!
Marina, yes short trips can go to completely different destinations when you start from Asia...! 😉 Bali sounds amazingly wonderful!!! 🙂
Solan, Travelmarkets competition is not settled yet... However, we ended up in first place (if there was an order? We were at least with ;)) when Expressen listed travel blogs a week ago. And it was fun! 🙂

Caroline King says:
Great about Budapest! we have not been there yet but I think we will probably visit Budapest later this year. Would love to bathe in the hot springs. I've heard there's a fun labyrinth to explore. It is a cheap place to fly to and from, we might go there when we are done with Israel and Egypt. Our journey will continue anyway. Last year we were in 21 countries and 5 continents. We were probably in a bit of a hurry. We don't have any definite plans, but we have a work assignment in Shanghai so we'll probably go there later this spring. hopefully after Budapest!

Aha, now you can read your travel plans! I tried to enter the other day but it was blocked. It's fun to look at what short trips you are going to do. Most have already started to take shape with different events. If you are travelling west in Sweden, you are welcome to visit us here in Sillerud in Årjäng. We live a few kilometres from the E18, in a beautiful landscape with forests, mountains and lakes. Not as grand as much of what you have seen on trips around Europe, but quiet and nice if we may boast a little, worth a visit. And we are very nice people too 🙂 who will sit at home most of the summer with a cute little puppy. Have a good time!

Caroline King, ojojoj 21 countries in five continents was not bad!!! Shanghai sounds incredibly exciting! Nice that you are planning for Budapest as well. Interesting with the labyrinth, I have not heard of it ...
Inga M, oh how funny that it was not possible to get in yesterday... do not know what it is due to... And oh how heavenly nice to invite us like that !!!! We do not have any plans for where we will roll with the motorhome this summer, but if it becomes so, we promise to get in touch! Thanks again and hugs
