Motorhome holidays in Gästrikland and Hälsingland
Our first destinations on this motorhome trip were Gävle and Axmar Jetty, with restaurant and car park. Gävle surprised in a positive way and report will come tomorrow, Saturday!
Then we continued to Hälsingland, which is one of our summer destinations. Here we have had time to see and experience a lot - especially the beautiful coast! - and reports will come soon. So far you can follow us on Instagram at @freedomtravelnews!
Fix in the motorhome - lots of new stuff!
We are also fixing, renovating and decorating the motorhome. Lots actually! Just before we left we changed two windows (because they cracked) and now Peter is doing a big project - he is wallpapering the whole motorhome inside with fabric!
The walls and ceilings are worn, and the idea is to make the upholstery feel more cosy. We're also doing other things: putting up decorations, making new shelves, organising the cupboards... and much more!
The whole thing takes time and we work our way forward slowly and gradually. When we get a little further, there will be reports of course, with a lot of pictures!
Everyday life with work - and training!
A few years ago, we realised our dream - to make the travel magazine FREEDOMtravel to our job. It means travelling and writing full-time, which we love. It also means a lot of challenges, not least making ends meet financially.
In addition, we need to have a daily life, which we have while travelling. We do collaborations, bookkeeping and work with texts and images every day. And of course we need to exercise too! We have each brought a yoga mat and there has been at least one workout so far (in addition to hikes and stuff). We hope to do more soon!
Best this week
The best thing this week! That we are on the road with the motorhome, of course, and that the sun managed to come out a little, after all the cloudy and cold days. It has also been fantastic to experience the fantastic east coast in Hälsingland.
Your turn... What can you highlight as a positive from your week? We know that not every day is a sunny day, but no matter what the week has been like, we find it helps to remind ourselves of the good and positive things!
The week ahead
We continue our journey in Hälsingland, first up the coast and then inland. Here at FREEDOMtravel you can count on several reports about Hälsingland, of course mixed with a little more, as usual. Now we take the opportunity to wish you a really nice Friday and weekend!

It was a big project to wallpaper. Do you do anything while travelling? Here it will be a weekend trip with probably a night at a deer fence and maybe a visit to the Lerin exhibition. The weather is a bit so-so right now, but hope for a dip in the blue. All the best!

Yes, it's a big project! And yes, we do it while travelling, a little at a time, mostly in the evenings...! Lerin exhibition sounds nice! Wish you a nice weekend, hopefully with some sun too!

Of course it is beautiful along the coast up the country. We have just crossed the border into Funäsdalen from travelling around Norway. (Haven't had time to update the whole trip yet, but it will come.) Now we're going around a bit here and there to get higher up and celebrate Midsummer with friends in Umeå.
Have a nice trip, maybe we'll see you along the way.

Yes, it is incredibly beautiful along the coast! So many charming fishing villages! Understand that you also had a good time. Would be fun if we see you along the roads!

Finally it was time to get on the road and today we started with Nora as our first destination before continuing out towards the east coast and north, a bit in your footsteps. Hälsingland is really a beautiful landscape with lots of nice things to look at. We did a lot a few years ago and this time we are going really far north so we just can't stop at everything that sounds interesting.
The worst part of the week has been the weather, which has varied between rain, showers and showers with the exception of one afternoon and the best part of course that we are on the road.

But how wonderful that you got away! Wish you a really nice trip! And absolutely, understand, it is very difficult to have time to stop in exactly all the nice places 😉

Hälsingland is beautiful and we have been there a lot. But now I'm more interested in Peter's fabric project, sounds very exciting and looking forward to photos. So fun with changes and new. He's handy🙂if he's the one wallpapering everything.
The weather is pretty okay anyway I think but not exactly bathing weather but sun between the showers. Think midsummer will be nice. Have a good time.

Hi Monica! I'm glad you're curious about Peter's fabric project! Yes, of course, we will tell you more! I'll just try to get a little further with the project first ... ! 😉 You have to enjoy the sun when it comes! Wishing you a great weekend!
