Our first #vanlife trip to Tatry

in #vanlife5 years ago (edited)

Hi,

let me introduce myself. I'm Simon. I work for Coinmate.io and Confirmo.net (that's why I'm also posting their press releases). This job lets me work from home and because I was always roamer in my heart I decided to make that home movable so I can travel the world. I got rid of my apartment and bought a van which we named Emil. It was converted already but it had everything I and my dog Decci needs. I just needed to remake the bed, so I can fit with my 1,9m.

I finished right on time so we could go to Slovakia to their famous mountains called Tatry. I, my GF and Decci packed and we hit the road. The first stop was at my relatives in Dolný Hričov. It was a lovely night and the other day we headed for an old castle called Strečno. You can park down and pay small fee and walk few minutes to the top. If you have a dog with you be aware that the dog can go inside the walls but not inside the castle.
We wanted to spend our first night on top of the water dam called "Čierná voda" but we ended up at the lower water tank. This is the spot where we slept.

We had an amazing breakfast and we went to the mountains to complete our first walk. Here is our walk on a map, so please feel free to do the same. First Track

For the rest of our trip, we moved to "Starý Smokovec" where we stayed near a waterfall. We even took a quick shower in that refreshing 5C water. Then here is a map to our second trip to see more of these waterfalls. Second Track

You can find a lot of cool places in the mountains even in the village. If you travel with dog you should have them all the time on leash and you should have a muzzle with you. We went here for dinner but dogs are not allowed.

So that was our extended weekend and first #vanlife trip.

Please let me know in the comments if you would like to read more from our trips and my fulltime #vanlife with the dog. I have plenty of new stories and lots of experience with traveling with a dog. Or if there is something that you are missing from my blogpost write it down to the comments!
Thanks!

Vítejte na Steemu :) Ty výhledy z dodávky musí být úžasné. Parádní fotky. Kdybyste se chtěli představit místní (malé ale aktivní) české a slovenské komunitě, napište něco pod tagem #cesky ;)

Díky, něco zkusím, ale moc se mi nechce psát dvojjazyčně

Jasně, to chápu. Taky píšu 99% svého obsahu anglicky. Jen jsem chtěl upozornit, že tady na Steemu existuje i česká komunita a pod jakým tagem píše ;)

Tak ať se ti tady líbí :)

oh my god your van looks perfect, I wouldn't be able to fit my instruments with it but I dream to spend a while just like this, moving and enjoying nature.

What kind of instruments?

I play mostly piano, but also harp, kantele, hammered dulcimer XD flutes, drums oh my it's a bit complicated for me imagining myself without it, but I'd sure isntalll a small midi keyboard and maybe bring my harp and months at least with me, and spend some months, long term I need my gear for music, but it'd be nice to spend a while out in Nature living differently, nature is what mostly inspires most my work

Love the wood interior in the van, that looks great! Definitely looking forward to reading more about your vanlife adventures. These are some great shots you shared in this post, and really cool you got to take your home with you when you visited them :) Cheers

Amazing van, the wooden interior is so unique and i also liked that you kept a plain whice colour for the outside. Very undercover,lol. Welcome to Steem, looking forward for more of your adventures:)

Yeah, that was the idea, to be able to camp everywhere :D

I love van life posts. I have a VW transporter and have done lots of vehicle living in all kinds of things. Beautiful van conversion!

Hezké fotky z Tater i pejsek Decci😍🐾

Wow, your van looks so roomy, cozy and most importantly stealth!

I'm very curious to learn more from your stories and experiences as I'm aiming to the same lifestyle. I want to transition from a backpacker/cyclo tourer to a van, so I can carry my mountain bike and just go exploring. Right now I can raise the resourses for a van, but I still don't have an income that could be done on the road, that's why I haven't moved yet.
