    Reply from: journaway DACH
    Thank you for your great feedback! Falling asleep in nature, being free on the road and simply living the route spontaneously - that's what makes traveling by campervan so special! ???????? We are all the more pleased that you were able to gather so many impressions despite the changeable weather and that our local support was able to accompany you well. It's great that you're already thinking about your next journaway adventure - we'd definitely love to join you again! ???? Best regards, Renska from journaway
