On our recent 3-month trip through France, Spain and Portugal, we decided to take a relaxed approach. The only place we booked in advance was Benidorm, where we spent six weeks meeting friends. Everything else was decided as we travelled.
In this video we share the pros and cons of planning your trips versus travelling spontaneously, based on what we experienced along the way.
From flexibility and unexpected discoveries to the stress of finding last-minute places to stay, both approaches have their advantages.
So which travel style is better?

In this final video of the trip, we explain why we decided to head home earlier than planned, as the weather across Portugal and southern Spain began to deteriorate.
Winter touring in the Iberian Peninsula can be fantastic, but January is also one of the wettest months, with around 80–100mm of rainfall and up to 10–14 rainy days across Portugal and southern Spain. Temperatures typically sit between 8°C and 16°C, with only around 5 hours of sunshine per day.
During our trip, a series of storms swept across the region bringing heavy rain, flooding and winds over 150 km/h, causing travel disruption and damage across Portugal and Spain.
Rather than sit through weeks of bad weather, we made the decision to start heading home.
We look back at some incredible highlights from the trip including:
📍 Gibraltar 📍 Seville 📍 Medina 📍 And some of our favourite moments along the way
We also break down the real costs of travelling for 71 days in a motorhome, sharing exactly what we spent on campsites, fuel, food and more.
If you're planning a winter motorhome trip to Spain or Portugal, this video should give you a realistic idea of what to expect — both the amazing parts and the challenges.

This month’s vanners collaboration is all about packing smart — what we always take with us, what we’ve stopped bringing, and why.
After doing a full sort-through, we realised how easily the weight creeps up — from tow bars and spare tables to rarely used kit. In this video, we show you exactly what made the cut, what we’ve left behind, and how we’re preparing for a longer journey later this year without compromising comfort or safety.
🧳 Whether you're new to vanlife or have been touring for years, this is a practical look at streamlining your packing and making the most of your payload.
