Since I began working in travel, it sometimes feels as though my feet have barely touched the ground. As most would, I’ve jumped at every opportunity to escape the UK in search of sunnier climes, beautiful landscapes and adventure by the bucket load. Now, over three years into the game, I find myself leaning into the joys of exploring previously uncharted corners of the UK instead. Sunnier climes may not be a guarantee here, but there’s beauty and adventure in spades – if you know where to look.

Recently, I have found myself hankering after a good old-fashioned road trip. Not loving the idea of camping for the week, but wanting to immerse myself in nature nonetheless, I decided renting a campervan would be the best course of action. That’s when I discovered campervan and motorhome rental site, Goboony, an online network of owners across Europe who advertise their private vehicles on a pick up and drop off basis: like a sort of Airbnb for campervans, if you will.
