TravelSome Magazine Vol. 3 (Wonderful Wales‪)‬

We are Tanja, Patrick and our teenage son Levi. Like most of you, the Covid pandemic has changed our lives massively. Suddenly we were not able to physically attend our jobs and school anymore, but the three of us were cooped up in our house. It is not that we don’t like our home, it is an awesome place. Being confined to the same space for so long, makes you think. In our minds, we revisited many places we had been to before. And we missed them. So, when the world finally got back to normal and some countries were cautiously opening up again, we found ourselves on a holiday on a gorgeous Greek island. Breathing sunshine and freedom. Breathing life! It was then that we jokingly said to each other: ‘We are so freaking good at traveling! We should do this forever!’ And then we laughed. As with many unconscious spoken words, there was truth in them. We went from ‘what ifs?’ to finding solutions to those questions. As you can imagine there were many things to consider. From practical things like where to leave our stuff, to schooling for our son, financial planning, how to stay connected to family and friends, to staying happy on the road. Spoiler: yes, it is going be epic! Of course we have our moments (being hangry is one of them). Disclaimer: we are not your Instagram family with the toes-pointing-down-poses, hipster hats and food pics! However, we do take the odd picture that would not be out of place in a travel magazine. We make attractive short videos which give you an excellent feel for the place as well. Want to know what we are up to? TravelSome’s next volumes will cover our campervan trip around Great Britain (that is England, Wales and Scotland. For ease of use let’s just call it the UK). Then we ditch the van and are off to Southeast Asia where we will visit Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore. By plains, trains, boats, buses, bikes and tuk tuks. After that we set our eyes on Australia, New Zealand, Japan and beyond. Join us! We would love you to be part of Nomad Travel Family.
