after a hearing recently of a friend’ father popping his clogs at 64, two months after his retirement, the GF and i have been talking.
have both been travelling before (we met in Australia), but we were young and had no commitments, ties, etc…
ironically we haven’t seen much of Europe. but we would like to. we’re now planning on putting “life” on hold in a year or so’s time (once the van is sorted) and buggering off around Europe for a year or two in the van.
where in Europe is truly wild, remote (the woods behind Nationwide in Swindon are already on the list), beautiful etc?
we recently travelled two weeks through East Germany and along it’s eastern borders and were (at times) really impressed with the scenery and remoteness.
where would you go to get away from it all without going to the ends of the Earth?
look forward to your response…
