Travelling in a van is a truly remarkable experience that is both freeing and comforting. You get to embark on an extended outdoor adventure, save up on accommodation, not to mention access nature’s hidden gems that can’t usually be reached on foot or by public transport! And if you add Workaway to the mix, you can even discover all sorts of unique local experiences along the open road, with the guidance of your host.
Since we dare to bet that you have daydreamed about leaving your day-to-day life behind and driving off into the sunset at least once, we couldn’t wait to share Workawayers Norbert and Dóra‘s story with you. This young, adventurous architect-journalist pairing from Hungary didn’t just hit the road, they decided to do so in a mobile home that they built themselves! We caught up with the couple for a peek into their van life.
Many people would be put off by the idea of getting into a total random stranger’s car in a foreign country, asking for a free lift.. But as told by our Workaway ambassador Charlotte, hitchhiking is not only one of the best ways to get around in Southeast Asia…it also can be an ideal way to meet new people!
