Move Over Glamping: #Vanlife is the Next Outdoor Travel Trend ft. Anna Hart, Emma Jane Palin and Whinnie Williams

Sustainable? Tick. Slow travel? Tick. Affordable? Tick. 


Move over glamping, #vanlife is the latest travel trend we can’t
get enough of. Whether you’re hitting the road in a revamped VW,
careering through California in an RV or pitching up on a
campsite in a static caravan, bundling your pals/ family/ pets
into the back of a campervan is the way to adventure in summer
2021.


We’re ditching the traditional flight-and-hotel model and riding
the campervan trend as soon as travel gets back on the road.
Helping us travel more sustainably, slowly and smarter, listen up
as we deep-drive into why a holiday-on-wheels is the next outdoor
trend. Plus, we reveal our own campervan travel tales, the road
trip routes we want to take and whose vans we’re borrowing. 


We’ll also be joined by the trio behind the UK’s newest (and
coolest) staycation retreat, Club Jupiter. Interior designer
Whinnie Williams, interior writer and stylist Emma Jane Palin and
travel journalist (and long-time SUITCASE contributor) Anna Hart
have spent the last year of lockdown revamping a static caravan
in Kent. Snazzy. Tune in as they share the hotels that have
inspired them, nifty interior DIY tips and why we’re all seeking
a dose of nostalgia. 


We’ll save a space for you by the campfire.


We’d love to know where you’re going next and how you think the
travel landscape might change as lockdown restrictions ease. Send
