It was the fourth year running for El Campo and like every year, it was held by Go-Van at Domaine du Radar, just south … More 6 Things You Need to Know About Van Festivals: El Campo Van Fest 2019
This is the last blog post for our 2019 road trip from Canada to Guatemala and back. To avoid any confusion, we arrived home in early June.

Leaving the little town of Hidalgo, NL was difficult, as it is every year. There’s always a reason to stay longer – “just one more day”! After one last latte at El Buho (and one last lovefest of cuddles for Walter by everyone in the café), we headed south for Guanajuato, GTO. It was an … More Guanajuato: Camping with a Million $ View
