My name is Johanna and I spent three weeks traveling through Sweden with my husband and our two-year-old son. We normally travel with our VW bus, but as we wanted to be self-sufficient, we decided to use the Mercedes Sprinter from VanEssa mobilcamping. Sweden ... a country I only had a vague idea about.

Camper vacation in Sardinia - Facts & Tips Sardinia is our personal paradise when we are on the road with VanEssa. Breathtaking coastal roads and secluded bays are just two examples.
