Hii my dear Hive Friends! I know it has been quite a while since I wrote my last post. I have been so busy making memories but so little time to share them.
My last post was written from Spain. I crossed Portugal, Italy, Albania, Greece and Turkey in the time I have been mostly absent, only quietly checking in on people now and then. But today, I am writing again from Cyprus!
Life lately: Vanlife-Days on Cyprus
After some very busy travel weeks with amazing people in Turkey, sleeping in a cave, drinking too much alcohol, sleeping too little and making too many memories, the slow island life was calling me. Reading a book, baking pancakes: Just slow life & sunny days. So today, I will take you with me to Cyprus!
As prepared as I was, I found out that people in Cyprus drive at the left side of the road only one day before going there, had the most confusing ferry ride (all foreigners felt a bit lost), had to pay my traffic fine for overspeeding in Turkey (2,84, my first ever traffic fine for overspeeding), I boarded the ferry, ready for the Island!!
Today I will give you a little impression of my life in Cyprus lately. Cyprus is an amazing wild-camp place as there are no strict camping laws since there are not many vanlifers. It makes it easier to find really good places, but the disadvantage is that I will never find such a good ''Vanlife Village'' as our camp with @vindiesel1980 & our friends who are not on Hive (soooo many stories I should still share)
Places like this, directly by the sea <3
Wasting days in laundry shops. I actually love ''wasting time'' laundry shops. A moment to do nothing and just chill
I met a farmer who gave me some dragon fruits from his garden. I didn't even know that they grew here in Europe. I love all the tropical fruits here (even though the country isn't tropical). They grow Banana's, Avocado's and apparently dragon fruits!
I believe Cyprus is one of the easier places to connect to people. The surf community is very cool and social here at the surf beaches, they have a German community with a monthly barbeque I joined, there are a lot of expats and people seem to speak english very well. Everyone is very friendly. I feel very much at home here. And after all, I am home, in my home on wheels.
Thank you for reading my blog & I hope you enjoyed getting some little insights in the simple Vanlife days here on Cyprus!!
Regards,.
Sascha
I miss my van. Did 4 years of full time vanlife in the Pacific Northwest in the US. It was the a great experience. Learned more about myself in that 4 years than in the rest of my adult life.
4 years is a long time! It is very insightful to hear it was a experience full of learning and life lessons :) it's good to travel out of the comfortzone sometimes
It's a pleasure to see your adventures, welcome back! 😁
Cyprus is truly a wonderful place, I recommend you to travel to your heart's content. I am sorry that you paid a traffic fine in Turkey. This is taken very seriously in the country, there is no escape from traffic fines. If you come to Turkey, I can host you again.
You mean the mountains of Cyprus? I hope I can include it in my trip! I'm coming back to Turkey in January, where in Turkey are you living?
Traffic fines in the Netherlands can be like 300 euros. That's why I never got one before
I live in the easternmost part of Turkey. Where I live is the second largest crater lake in the world. However, it is snowy at the moment. May, June and July are ideal months to visit. There are people who go there now but it is not very pleasant, the weather is cold.

Such a cool van setup
Thank you :)
Yes, Cyprus is beautiful. The North is mostly unspoiled nature with spectacular views along the Karpaz peninsula.
Yeahhhh I hope to spend my last days there!
This beauty reminds me of my trip a few days ago,This is absolutely amazing, you did a great job and captured every bit of beauty, have a great day
Sounds cool! Where did you go?
When I went to a beach with my friend, it was a very fun thing.
Hey Scha, glad to see you back on writing :) Delighted seeing your adventure, it was awesome as always :)))
